So to keep everyone happy at home, especially our family and pets, here are some guidelines for easy-care decorating for pet-friendly living areas:

 Use ultra-suede fabric for upholstery.

My family room sofa can be scrubbed clean with a wet cloth in a matter of minutes.

I swear by its power to hold up to dogs, cats and even kids.

One of my favorite ways to hide pet hair (even long-haired cats)

 is an animal print for upholstery.

This Kravet fabric is rated 200,000 double rubs for upholstery

Stay relaxed with your rugs by using rugs made for outdoor use.
