As the leading “remodeling contractor near me” in the area, DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of St. Louis Park, we embody a customer-focused approach in home remodeling projects that extends to every member of the household, pets included. This blog post explores some of our favorite remodeling ideas to enhance the comfort and safety of your furry friends at home.
Non-Toxic Materials: Safety First
One of the fundamental principles of a pet-friendly remodel is ensuring the safety of our pets. This involves selecting non-toxic paints and finishes for our homes, especially since pets tend to explore their environment with their mouths. The safety of our pets is a priority during renovations, and DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen goes the extra mile to recommend and use pet-safe materials.
Durable and Easy-to-Clean Flooring
The choice of flooring is paramount in a pet-friendly home. Pets can be tough on floors, which is why we recommend durable flooring options such as tile, bamboo, laminated floors, or luxury vinyl tile (LVT). These materials not only resist scratches but are also a breeze to clean and maintain.
Built-In Feeding Stations
Incorporating a built-in feeding station into your kitchen remodel is a clever way to keep your pet’s feeding area organized and tidy. A designated spot for your pet’s food and water bowls can be done by modifying a lower cabinet or a slide-out drawer. This helps minimize clutter and streamline your kitchen’s design.
Pet Washing Stations for Hassle-Free Bath Times
Bathing your pet can be an ordeal, but with a custom pet washing station, it doesn’t have to be. Add a pet washing station to your mudroom or laundry room. These stations are designed with handheld sprayers and are typically installed at a height that prevents pets from slipping, making bath time safer and more convenient.
Cozy Nooks and Dedicated Pet Spaces
Creating a special nook for your pet to call their own can significantly enhance their comfort and enjoyment. Your interior remodeling experts can suggest the underside of staircases or window seats as perfect retreats for pets. These personalized areas ensure your pets have a quiet spot to relax away from the household hustle and bustle.
Outdoor Access and Enjoyment
Ensuring pets have the freedom to roam and enjoy the outdoors safely is another aspect your contractor must take into consideration. Installing pet doors or low windows can provide pets with the independence to move in and out while keeping them secure. Such modifications not only benefit your pets but also add to the aesthetic and functional appeal of your home.
