  • A "brutalist cat-flap" and a room dedicated to "feline enrichment" feature in our latest lookbook rounding up seven homes created with design-forward felines in mind.

The article from MSN discusses seven cat-friendly interior design ideas that cater to the needs and behaviors of cats while enhancing the aesthetic appeal of homes. These designs include:

    Cat Shelves and Walkways: Integrating shelves at various heights to create a vertical playground for cats, allowing them to climb, explore, and observe their surroundings from different vantage points.
    Window Perches: Installing perches by windows so cats can enjoy the outdoors safely, providing them with natural light and views which are known to be calming for felines.
    Hidden Litter Boxes: Incorporating litter boxes into furniture or using decorative screens to keep them out of sight, maintaining the home's decor while providing privacy for the cat.
    Scratching Posts and Trees: Furniture that doubles as scratching posts or trees, made from materials like sisal or carpet, which are durable and appealing to cats for claw maintenance.
    Cat Beds and Nooks: Creating cozy, hidden spots or integrating cat beds into furniture like bookshelves or under stairs, giving cats a place to retreat and feel secure.
    Interactive Play Areas: Spaces designed with toys or elements that encourage play, like dangling toys or laser pointers, to keep cats active and engaged.
    Cat-Friendly Textiles: Using fabrics that are durable and easy to clean, considering cats' tendency to scratch or shed, ensuring the home remains both stylish and practical.
These design elements not only make the home more enjoyable for cats but also ensure that the living space remains functional and attractive for human inhabitants.
