Many people in today's world see their pets as one of their children. For many people that do not have children, their pet is their child. And there is an ever increasing trend in the home remodeling business that substantiates the growing bonds that homeowners have with their pets as they work to have their home modified to accommodate their pet's needs.
Projects can vary in size and creativity, but below are listed some of the trends industry experts are seeing as written in Qualified Remodeler Magazine:
• Doggy showers with low-level, hand-held sprayers, are often located in mud rooms or garages. These spaces, often tiled and custom-painted to suit a pet's personality, make bathing or rinsing off muddy paws a breeze.
• Feeding stations can be built into a family's kitchen or mud room. Wall build outs accommodate feeding bowls and can include adequate space for the storage of food and other pet-related items, such as toys and medications. Some spaces even feature an installed water line that automatically refills the water bowl as needed.
• Litter boxes can be discretely located in custom cabinetry with whimsical, cat-shaped cutout entryways to help contain a kitty's potty area.
• Pet doors have become elaborate with options including French doors, screen door panels, and infrared and magnetic key options.
• Hideaways and sleeping areas can be built into laundry or foyer areas, creating peaceful and private spaces for pets to retreat.
• Windows are being designed to be located lower to flooring so pets have excellent outdoor views- complete with personalized 'pet seats' for four-legged friends to enjoy hours of "built-in" entertainment.
