1. The Right Materials Make All the Difference
The foundation of a pet-friendly home starts with the right materials. For Ankara’s living conditions, scratch- and moisture-resistant floors — such as ceramic tiles or luxury vinyl — are durable and easy to clean.
When choosing fabrics, opt for stain-resistant, high-performance materials to maintain both elegance and practicality.
For window treatments, cordless roller blinds or shutters are ideal, offering safety while allowing easy control of sunlight during Ankara’s bright seasons.
2. Dedicated Spaces for Pets
Creating special corners for your furry companions enhances their comfort while maintaining order in your home.
-
Raised food and water bowls support better digestion and keep feeding areas tidy.
-
In smaller apartments, multi-functional furniture — such as ottomans or benches with built-in pet beds — saves space while providing cozy resting spots.
These personalized spaces help establish routines and harmony between pets and their owners.
3. Safety Always Comes First
Safety should always be a priority in pet-friendly design.
-
Secure tall furniture to the wall,
-
Choose non-toxic indoor plants,
-
Keep electrical cables properly hidden.
Considering Ankara’s cold winters and hot summers, it’s important to create temperature-controlled resting zones, away from drafts and direct heat sources.
4. Smart and Seamless Storage Solutions
Pet supplies don’t have to be visible.
-
Use built-in cabinets for food and treats,
-
Install ventilated, hidden litter box enclosures for cat owners,
-
Add wall niches near entryways for leashes, toys, and grooming items.
These clever storage solutions keep essentials organized while maintaining a clean, cohesive aesthetic.
