furniture

So... are your pets allowed on the furniture? My cat tends not to ask. If anything, my cat allows me on the furniture sometimes, since obviously, the bed belongs to her, and the couch belongs to her, and the table... you get it. In my naivety, during the first couple days that I had her, I tried to keep her off the bed for fear of crushing her itty bitty self, but she persisted, and she won, because of course she did. 

And apparently, my cat is not the only one with such purrsuasive abilities. Twitter users have been sharing their own funny stories of (dis)allowing their pets on furniture, and we're both laughing because relatable and crying because relatable. Much as we want to keep our pets off our furniture, we're apparently all too weak for them.  

Why share a bed with your pet if you can give them their own space, right next to you? 

The Country Creations Pine Furniture of Clintonville, Pennsylvania, has designed and built this brilliant king-sized bed frame to fit not only you but also your pet who's just want to stay close to you while you sleep.  

This pet-lover bed is made out of pinewood and comes equipped with 6 drawers for extra storage in the bottom part of the bed frame. 

But the main attraction is definitely the dog bed add-on as it is a genius way of finding a compromise with pets who tend to take over your entire bed without any regard for your needs and desires when it comes to sleep. 

It has has a set of 2 to 4 drawers and a flight of stairs, making it easier for the pet to climb on. The total bed measures at 80 by 110 inches, while the pet bed is at 80 by 28 inches. 

The entire set will cost you around $1,200.

The Japanese designer, He Yuhui, created a new and functional concept in pet furniture- a modular home that will provide your furry friend with everything he needs for a comfortable everyday lifestyle.

The system consists of different components that can be added to the modular frame to keep cats comfortable and entertained in a minimal, noninvasive manner. It uses a familiar frame structure and it is flexible to the owner's space and the cat's demands – it also works for multiple cats!

The designer has imagined everything your pet needs to live their best life possible and included it in the details of this modular cat house. Every traditional shape and element has been reimagined to add a fresh perspective. The scratching board, for example, has been created to evoke an emotional response from the cat and make it a pleasant experience not bound by the stereotypical forms but still meeting the behavioral need to dig/scratch.

The designer explained his concept to Trend Hunter: "It is a balance between new and old. I have used our most common materials and structures in life to design new design styles, extend the life cycle of products, reduce product costs from another angle, and strengthen the relationship between brands and users by expanding product forms and functions."

One more great idea from furniture manufacturers, IKEA: few days ago they have launched its "Wildhomes for Wildlife" project, which asks local artists to create a series of animal homes, crafted from upcycled Ikea furniture. As part of the project, tables, lamps and chairs have been transformed into plush pads for blue tits, bats and bees. "Now," Ikea says, "all of our new neighbours can enjoy an amazing home. Even our furry, feathered and flying friends." Big like from us! Via: It's Nice That

Even if this is actually the worst couch to ever exist in the history of couches, Jordan is one hell of a salesman that we're even considering buying this monstrosity. Read the hilarious description below:  

IKEA has released 'LURVIG'—a collection of pet-friendly furniture that is likely to set tails wagging. 'LURVIG'—which means "hairy" in Swedish—is put together by pet-loving designers and supported by veterinarians. The series, which has been elaborately thought out, includes specialized houses, toys, and even beds. The collection has started making its way to stores in the US, Canada, France, as well as Japan. Have a look at some of the items. Via: Trend Hunter

Because you can't spell furniture without the word fur.
