Regular brushings, claw-trimmings, and baths are the obvious place to start. Get rid of all that excess hair before it starts collecting on the carpet.\n\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-16599\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qcdesignschool.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Design-Blog-In-Post-130x130-2019-08-08T123934.426.jpg\" alt=\"cat grooming to get rid of hair that will end up in home\" width=\"850\" height=\"500\">\n\nBut dedicated pet owners know that good pet care goes beyond grooming. Make sure your pets have their own toys to keep them from chewing on furniture, shoes, pillows, or anything else around your home. For cats, a scratching post can also help protect your favorite carpets and furniture. Try rubbing a little catnip on it to grab their interest.\n\nAnd, of course, you need to take the time to play with your pets! A pet that\u2019s exhausted from a long walk or a vigorous game of chase-the-string is way less likely to wreak havoc on your living room.\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Indooroutdoor_rugs_are_your_friends%E2%80%A6\"><\/span>2. Indoor\/outdoor rugs are your friends\u2026<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\nNo matter how well-behaved your pets are, accidents happen. Rather than letting stains ruin your rug, opt for a durable indoor\/outdoor fabric. <a href=\"http:\/\/dashandalbert.annieselke.com\/Rugs\/Rugs-By-Material\/Indoor-Outdoor-Rugs\/c\/FA81\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Dash and Albert<\/a> have a whole range of stylish selections to compliment any room in your house.\n\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-16603\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qcdesignschool.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Design-Blog-In-Post-130x130-2019-08-08T125011.447.jpg\" alt=\"home design interior carpeting cat knocking over plant\" width=\"850\" height=\"500\">\n\nWhat makes these indoor\/outdoor fabrics so awesome is how amazingly easy they are to clean. Since they\u2019re designed to withstand outdoor conditions, all you need to do is take them outside and give them a good hosing down every once in a while.\n\nDogs and cats love having a rug to nap on, so if you\u2019re working on a room with hardwood flooring we definitely recommend going for one of these <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcdesignschool.com\/2018\/09\/use-statement-flooring-right-with-your-interior-decorating-certification\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">hardy area rugs<\/a>. But you don\u2019t have to stop there\u2014you can also look into indoor\/outdoor pillows and furniture. Not every indoor\/outdoor piece will work in your space, but many pieces are just as stylish and comfortable as regular indoor furniture.\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_%E2%80%A6_But_you_can_play_it_smart_with_other_fabrics_as_well\"><\/span>3. \u2026 But you can play it smart with other fabrics as well<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\nThere\u2019s no way to get around it: some fabrics are more pet-friendly than others. Making smart fabric choices now can save you or your clients years of headaches and frustration down the road.\n\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-16600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qcdesignschool.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Design-Blog-In-Post-130x130-2019-08-08T124209.758.jpg\" alt=\"dog hair on couch of interior decorated home\" width=\"850\" height=\"500\">\n\n<i>Look for\u2026<\/i>\n<ul>\n \t<li><b>Leather:<\/b> Doesn\u2019t pick up hair easily, plus the smooth surface can make simple messes easier to clean up without staining.<\/li>\n \t<li><b>Velvet:<\/b> Perfect for cats who are chronic scratchers. Will they still scratch? Absolutely. But unlike other household fabrics, velvet doesn\u2019t have a looped thread structure, so cats have nothing to hook their claws into. Approach with caution, though: it\u2019s a bit of a pet-hair magnet and it can be tough to clean.<\/li>\n \t<li><b>Denim or canvas:<\/b> Durable and easy to clean.<\/li>\n \t<li><b>Crypton:<\/b> Resistant to stains, moisture, odors, and germs.

Save yourself the heartbreak and pick something more durable.<\/li>\n \t<li><b>Wool:<\/b> Tough to clean.<\/li>\n \t<li><b>Chenille:<\/b> Cats love digging their claws into this looped fabric\u2014and once the loops have been pulled, there\u2019s no easy way to fix them.<\/li>\n \t<li><b>Tweed:<\/b> Durable, but good luck getting the fur out! The uneven surface traps hair easily, making it a huge pain to clean.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Plan_your_color_scheme_around_your_pet\"><\/span>4. Plan your color scheme around your pet<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-16601\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qcdesignschool.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Design-Blog-In-Post-130x130-2019-08-08T124647.412.jpg\" alt=\"color scheme for interior decorating jobs\" width=\"850\" height=\"500\">\n\nPicking a sofa that\u2019s the same shade of grey as your furry friend isn\u2019t just a sign of your love. It also makes it way easier to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.doggroomingcourse.com\/2019\/04\/6-best-ways-remove-dog-hair-around-your-home-dog-grooming\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">hide their hair<\/a>! Of course, there\u2019s no substitute for regular vacuuming, but matching your carpet or upholstery to your pet\u2019s fur makes their hair less visible in between big cleans.\n\nLove that beige-brown color on your dog, but balking at the idea of doing your upholstery over to match? Patterned rugs and fabrics are another way to minimize how much hair shows in your house. Small, tight patterns can help to hide hair, as long as you\u2019re careful with your colors. A lighter pattern will still show lots of dark hair, and vice versa.\n\nA strategically placed throw blanket can also go a long way. If your cat loves to nap on the back of the couch, drape a throw across it to make clean-up quick and easy.\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Make_your_pets_the_center_of_attention\"><\/span>5. Make your pets the center of attention<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-16602\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qcdesignschool.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Design-Blog-In-Post-130x130-2019-08-08T124812.144.jpg\" alt=\"cat and dog sleeping space can be decorated to be trendy\" width=\"850\" height=\"500\">\n\nYes, the places where your pets like to hang out are going to see some wear and tear. That doesn\u2019t mean you should give up on them, though. Rather than tucking a ratty old pillow out of the way for your pet to sleep on, invest in a stylish (and comfy) bed. You can display it proudly wherever your pet likes to snooze.\n\nSame goes for your four-legged friend\u2019s food bowl. Many designers have started making luxury pet products. You\u2019ll have to splurge a little, but for your beloved pet (and your beautiful home) it\u2019s totally worth it. Or look for jars, bowls, dishes, and boxes you can use for serving and storing food, treats, and toys. As long as they\u2019re durable and made out of pet-friendly materials, they don\u2019t have to be specifically pet-designed.\n\nCheck out fabric toys to replace squeaky rubber eyesores. Online stores like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.etsy.com\/ca\/shop\/wagsandwiggles?page=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Wags and Wiggles<\/a> sell adorable toys that are durable, machine-washable, and cute enough to keep on the couch (or wherever your pet sees fit to stash them!)\n\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-16608\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qcdesignschool.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Design-Blog-In-Post-130x130-2019-08-08T130842.711.jpg\" alt=\"bunny pets decorate their cages\" width=\"850\" height=\"500\">\n\nFor pets like fish, birds, lizards, or bunnies that don\u2019t get to roam free, think about investing a little extra in a classy cage or tank and accessories. Your pet\u2019s stylish home can take center stage in your house\u2014and having it on display will remind you to clean your little friend\u2019s space regularly.\n\n<b>Bonus Tip:<\/b> Even the best-groomed pet will leave a few smudges and stains on your wall. Cats always have a favorite corner for rubbing their faces on, and some dogs can spatter drool everywhere with a shake of their head. When you\u2019re <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcdesignschool.com\/2017\/06\/paint-vs-wallpaper-interior-decorators-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">painting<\/a>, go for semigloss paint instead of flat finish. Semigloss is way easier to wipe down, whereas flat finish is tough to clean properly. A satin or eggshell finish also cleans up easily.\n<h3 align=\"center\"><i>Do you live with pets?
