as much as I don’t care for cat trees aesthetically, I applaud cat owners who actually provide enrichment for their cats. It helps reduce a lot of behavioral problems. Kid stuff and pet stuff usually isn’t that cute, but there should be place for them to be the little gremlins they are lol

[@emelies272]

This is not meant to give any shade to Paige but I don't think that anyone likes the look of pet furniture. But please keep providing your pets (cat, dog, any animal) with all the things they need to thrive and be happy. If you are a pet owner you have to be responsible and give them what they need. It's not a matter of aesthetics. And having had both cats and dogs with no preference I can say they are both equally clean. It's when you don't want to put in the work that your animal needs that you get the problems. And if you don't want the work then you should be responsible enough to not get a pet. So please get all the cat trees, dog beds, and toys you can to keep them happy and healthy. I wish the interior design community would stop giving shame to people who are putting the needs of animals before aesthetics and instead show good solutions to incorporate the furniture with the overall interior.

[@vaderladyl]

And if you can afford it, there are amazingly beautiful pet furniture pieces out there for an elevated look.

[@sl3772]

@Kaitlynn p totally, I think ignoring those who live in your home, animals included, for aesthetics is sad. It's everyone's home. I've found a couple nice cat trees and beds.

[@annechorix]

I love interior design but I wish I had bought more cat trees for my cat instead of only caring about my home looking like a magazine. Cat trees are amazing because since most cats don’t go outside that’s a way of keeping them healthy, happy and entertained. When you own a pet the house also belongs to them so it’s fair to have things around that show a cat/dog lives there.

[@Siansonea]

Oh yeah, when you have pets or kids, your magazine quality house is going to have to accommodate them. But at that point you just accept that the pets/kids are the priority, and you don't worry about it.

[@meghanmagowan2101]

I think you should discuss all the reasons why people end up with the grey sofa. I think people get overwhelmed when they have to design from a blank slate and gravitate towards "something that will go with everything" because they have no idea where the room is going to go or they want it to look "new" ... To their great detriment.

[@lalalaidontcare321]

Exactly. When I purchased my regrettable ikea couch, grey was also substantially cheaper than the green shade or tan shade.

[@nilslusch6625]

[@AudreyII-]

[@Jules_Pew]

I was going to buy a new sofa, but my son boomerganged back and brought his grey one with him. Then he moved out, left it and said it wanted it back in the future. As I'm selling, it suited the room and I didn't care, I left it. Is that a good enough reason?

[@jmbwithcats]

As someone who has a few cats, cat trees aren't smelly at all because I take care of them and I want my cats to feel at home here, and anyone who loves their cats treats them as family so of course they make sure the space accomadates them. We have cats and dogs, so cat trees help a cat to have their own space, to eat away from dogs, and away from dust on the floor, etc... it's healthier for them, to look out windows etc...

[@kaitlynnp582]

Smelly cat trees? That's odd. I'm a cat owner and haven't had that problem. I dedicate wall shelves qnd floor space for cat trees because that's what my pets need to live happy lives, and that makes them worth it. My hot take is if you wouldn't make the effort to find an okay enough cat tree maybe don't have a cat. I won't make the effort of training a dog, so I don't have a dog.

[@TimeQuxxn]

Cat trees are meant to be REPLACED when they get too nasty. I always vacuum our trees weekly so they stay fresh for longer. They are necessary tho so they stay off the furniture. I care more about the furniture honestly. I agree tho, those who aren't proper caretakers just kinda leave them there

Yes! Feels judgey, but I never liked the idea of blowing up family photos and framing them on a wall. Just feels intense and to oversimplify relationships somehow. I remember staying at my friend's sister's place, arriving late at night and the first thing I saw waking up was a HUGE mushy wedding photo on the wall next to the bed of them gazing at each other. Was funny to me for some reason.

Vintage rugs are good enough quality to cleaned properly so it can be argued that they can be cleaner than new rugs, which usually don’t last unless they are super expensive!

Caveat to what I said, obviously you have to look out for staining, smells, and potentially bugs, but if you buy from a good seller that should not be an issue.

[@ChromeDrone.]

I hear you, but it doesn’t turn me off. Buying used saves so much, and rug cleaning actually uses less water than manufacturing a new rug. With what you save, you could get a newly-cleaned rug worth thousands for only hundreds out of your pocket. Versus getting a new rug that will eventually also get gross.

The oval mirror at 2:45 I think would look much better hung horizontally. (Maybe they are afraid to hang it because it's so heavy? Just get the right hardware.) It would fit the architecture of the wall better, and not detract from the items on the dresser. But it's hard to judge the scale here. If this is a bedroom and that's a functional mirror it might be too high if hung the other way. For a cat person and their cat, that is a pretty nice setup. Maybe have only one of the trees, the taller, less cluttered one because it's at the same scale as the other cat perches.
