5 tips for picking the pet-friendly sofa of your dreams -

Cause we know you’ll eventually give up your favorite spot for your four-legged furry friends

 

 

 

Pets have the knack of breaking the few rules you lay out for them.

But having a pet doesn’t mean you have to wrap all your furniture in plastic. 

You might have to work a little harder to keep your favourite pieces looking like new, but by carefully choosing the right material, you’ll have a much easier time maintaining your sofas over the years.

 

 

Check out these 7 juicy tips that’ll help answer all of your pet related furniture questions:

 

1.Light Weave fabrics are your friend

 

 

Your pets can now stretch all they want on your couch. 

 

The tighter the fabric weave, theless likely it is to catch on your pet’s claws. We have plenty of fabric options for you.

Any veteran pet owner will tell you: leather is the best choice when you have animals at home.

It’s durable, wipesclean, and won’t snag claws!Besides, a little wear and tear add to the distressed look.

Genuine leather is the best option if you don’t want to change sets every few years.

4.Patterns,Texture, and Colour hide fur

 

 

If you can’t be bothered to clean or didn’t have time to (it happens to the best of us!) , a sofa set which matches the colour of the fur of your lil buddies is a clever way to ‘hide’ the shedding. 

 

We’ve found that medium-toned grays and creams, with tints of brown and black through them are the best for hiding fur (yes we’re pet owners too!)

Our Elizabeth Fabric 3 Seater Sofa or the Abraham 4 Seater

Fabric Sofa with Chaise are great options to blend in the fur.Besides, they are comfortable, easy to clean, and meet pre-approved wearability and durability AHFA standards.

5.When all else fails, HIDE it!

 

 

 

If you have tried all of the above with no success, Don’t Panic!

Throw Pillows to the rescue!

Hide scratches and loose weaves by adding a few throw pillows to your favourite sofa or chair. 

They also tend to prevent pets from sitting on the furniture.

If your pet does make a mess, however, the pillow is more likely to bear the brunt of the damage. And we can all agree that a cushion cover is easier to clean or change than your whole couch!

Throw pillows look stunning on our Lincoln 7 Seater Modular Fabric Lounge Suite large enough to sit your whole family and your 3 dogs.

 The Werribee Fabric 3 Seater Sofa can be easily accentuated with accent pillows since its understated grey colour can be matched with almost everything!
