Our Favorite Pet-Friendly Remodeling Ideas



At DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of Northwest Arkansas, we understand that pets are more than just animals; they’re cherished members of the family. This recognition is deeply embedded in our Code of Values, which places a high emphasis on customer focus—extending our commitment to customer satisfaction to include furry, feathered, or scaled family members alike. With that in mind, let’s explore some pet-friendly exterior and interior remodeling ideas that not only enhance the aesthetic and functional appeal of your home but also ensure the well-being and happiness of your pets.

Safety First in Remodeling

Before diving into specific remodeling ideas, it’s paramount to emphasize safety. Pets, like small children, are naturally curious and can find themselves in hazardous situations amid remodeling projects. Solutions range from using non-toxic paints and materials to installing pet gates or using crates during construction to ensure they are kept away safely from work areas.

Durable and Pet-Friendly Flooring

The foundation of any pet-friendly home is the flooring. Traditional hardwood floors, while elegant, are prone to scratches and damage from pet nails. Consider more durable alternatives like tile, bamboo, laminated floors, or luxury vinyl tile (LVT). These options are not only resistant to scratches and easier to clean but also come in a variety of styles to complement your home’s aesthetic.

Built-In Feeding Stations

Transform your kitchen or mudroom with a built-in feeding station for a sleek, clutter-free area. This custom solution can be integrated into lower cabinets or drawers that slide out for easy access to food and water bowls—a perfect blend of functionality and style.

Specialized Pet Washing Stations

Bath time can be a struggle for both pets and their owners. Installing a pet washing station in your mudroom or laundry room can solve this problem. Equip it with a handheld sprayer to easily wash away dirt and mud in a designated area, preventing slips on wet floors and keeping your house clean.

Cozy Retreats for Peaceful Rest

Creating a special nook for your pet to retreat and relax can significantly enhance their comfort. Under a staircase, beside a window, or a small alcove with a pet bed are perfect spots. These personalized spaces ensure pets have their own haven, away from the foot traffic and noise.

Ensuring Outdoor Enjoyment

For pets that enjoy gazing outdoors or need a safe way to explore outside, consider installing low windows or sliding doors with pet door inserts. Ensuring there are wide enough windowsills for your pets to perch and watch the world go by can greatly add to their quality of life.

Organization and Climate Control

To maintain an orderly and comfortable home, integrating pet supply storage solutions and ensuring proper insulation and temperature control in pet-populated areas is crucial. This might mean adding pull-out cabinets for toys and leashes or installing a thermostat with a pet setting to keep your companions cozy year-round.
