Fabulous Pet-friendly Flooring:  We curated a wonderful collection of tile, planks, wood and other flooring options that are ideal for pet and pet-people homes.

Before you build, remodel or replace your flooring, peruse our collection of flooring options that are great for pets of all shapes and sizes. When choosing flooring consider your pets ability to move about, issues with slipping, or clean up needs for pets who love to bring the outdoors in. Don’t give up style when making decor choices, there are so many wonderful designs, colors and styles to choose from. So if you have a chance to build your home, choosing wood, tile or one of the new materials that are waterproof, wash up easy and are very strong is always a good choice.  If you have carpet, converting to one of these hard surface options may be your first choice before choosing your decor pieces.  The best options are hardwood, bamboo, vinyl, laminate, faux brick, stone and cork.  Make sure that what you buy is considered pet friendly as some of the above are more delicate and not as pet friendly as you might hope.   Here is a great article from the Floor Critics – “Best Flooring for Dogs and Cats” and it breaks each floor type down for you, with the pros and cons of the flooring choices.

How

Pet-Friendly Vinyl Flooring

Vinyl flooring is an excellent choice for homes with pets and people alike. It’s durable, cost-effective, and available in a variety of options that suit different needs, from commercial-grade to antimicrobial varieties. This versatile flooring is waterproof, mark-resistant, and scratch-resistant, making it ideal for homes with active pets. It’s also comfortable and quiet underfoot, skid-resistant for older pets, and compatible with radiant heating systems. Available in styles that mimic natural stone and wood, vinyl flooring combines aesthetics with functionality. Although it can dull if the protective layer is thin and is less eco-friendly, its overall affordability, ease of maintenance, and durability make it the best fit for both humans and dogs. Choosing a stylish option can even boost your home’s resale value.

While both laminate and luxury vinyl plank flooring have their merits, LVP tends to be the better choice for homes with pets. Its superior resistance to water, scratches, and stains, combined with its realistic appearance and easy maintenance, make it a practical and stylish option for any pet-friendly home. Mask pet hair, dirt and debris with mixed wood planks with a distressed vibe to reduce time cleaning pet and people floors.

Pet-Friendly Laminate

Hand-scraped laminate flooring will help pets from skidding and slipping.

Bamboo Flooring

Natural flooring such as bamboo and cork are great options for pet homes. Both are renewable resources that continually replace themselves, making it a great ‘green’ choice, but they are also very durable, waterproof and provide easy clean up. Here are a few bamboo and cork options.

Pet Friendly Porcelain and Ceramic Tile

Choose porcelain or ceramic tiles with texture and dimension for pet and pet-people floors to help pets with stability when walking and running to protect hips, legs, and backs. Mixed tones and textures are ideal for masking pet wear and tear.

Adhesive Wall and Furniture Tiles

Repair walls, stairs and other vertical spaces that have enjoyed some pet loving with clever wall coverings that hide holes, scratches, and love chews. You can apply hole or scratch filler or choose an adhesive tile that will adhere and cover the damage. Ideal for fireplaces, walls, stairs, and walls that need an update or a smart way to create walls that allow pets to be themselves without worrying about dirt and damage. Choose patterns that are naturally rustic or naturally strong to hold up to every day pet and people life.

We hope you were inspired to create pet-friendly interior spaces, repair pet and people loved areas, or to design the perfect pet space with the right materials and style. When we think it terms of everyday life when we design, our spaces become welcoming. There is no reason to follow everyday home design plans that don’t consider pets. It is the small details that make big difference, especially in spaces that are meant for both pets and their people.
