The Design-Lover’s Guide to Living with Pets

We’re all for a beautifully styled space, but if it can’t stand up to muddy paws, post-walk zoomies, or the occasional nap-on-the-sofa situation, what’s the point? But living with pets doesn’t mean sacrificing good design. In fact, it’s the perfect excuse to get even more intentional about how you decorate.

From heirloom-quality furniture that can handle daily wear to surprisingly stylish cleaning hacks, we’ve rounded up our favorite picks for pet-friendly living, plus a few tried-and-true tips for keeping your space feeling fresh.

Furniture That Holds Up (and Looks Good Doing It)

Let’s be honest: the couch is not just for humans. Whether your pup has claimed their favorite cushion or your cat thinks every chair is a scratching post, choosing the right furniture matters.

Enter the Milo Sofa—modern, elegant, and made with performance-grade fabric that’s ready for real life (yes, even pet life). We’re also longtime fans of the Miller Utility Cart, which serves as the perfect spot for storing your pet's everyday essentials.

Quick Tip: For soft surfaces like sofas or armchairs, try this: sprinkle baking soda over the fabric, let it sit overnight, and vacuum in the morning. It’s an easy, natural way to neutralize odors—no harsh sprays required.

Bedding You Can Actually Share

Pets love a cozy moment as much as we do, which is why we swear by bedding that’s built to get softer with every wash. Our quilts, throws, and duvets check all the boxes: beautiful, breathable, and made to last.

One favorite? The Stillwater Floral Quilt. With its vintage-inspired print and just-right weight, it’s ideal for year-round layering and long Sunday naps (with or without your four-legged friend).

Quick Tip: Forget the lint roller, grab a pair of rubber dish gloves instead. Run them under cool water, then sweep them gently over bedding or upholstery. Static does the rest, lifting pet hair like magic.

Rugs They’ll Love, Too

Let’s face it, your pets probably spend more time on the rug than you do. That’s why we’re big believers in picking options that are equal parts stylish and easy to care for.

Top of our list: the Ashlar Handwoven Wool Rug for its texture-meets-softness appeal, and the Plaid Wool Rug, which comes in an array of cozy, earthy hues that hide fur surprisingly well. They’re durable, grounding, and pretty much made for midday naps in the sun.

Quick Tip: Shift things around! Rearranging your furniture every so often helps redirect your pets’ traffic patterns and cuts down on rug wear in high-traffic zones.
