My Fluffy Friend’s Pet Shop by MCM Interiors. MCM Interiors have designed My Fluffy Friend’s Pet Shop in Vancouver, Canada. Description from MCM Interiors With a limited budget, MCM Interiors was able to change this 950 square foot space which used to be a very dark lounge, into a bright, fresh, and playful environment which was both pet and people friendly.

The large structural column in the middle of the front retail display space presented both a problem and opportunity. Starting with an outdoors theme, the column was transformed into an abstract tree form, with painted MDF rings suspended from the ceiling. The clients wanted an interactive space for both dogs and dog owners. The cash desk area proudly displays the company logo on the back wall, and a glowing green grass inspired back lit front panel provides light and interest.

Animal House Style. Colleen Paige's Pet Home Design |  Taming the Animal House |  Pet Friendly Interior Design  Articles. Animal house: New products make your home pet-friendly By Sheba R. Wheeler, New York Times The world looks different when you're 2 feet high. Decorating with a furry companion in mind means stooping to the animal's level. Some decor changes make pet ownership easier, but they may not benefit our four-legged friends. "If you have pets that are your family, there's no problem having a beautiful home," says Colleen Paige, a Seattle animal behaviorist. Couches needn't be covered in plastic slipcovers to avoid pet wear and tear. Paige, who often helps clients shop for new homes, can pinpoint potential pet problem areas and suggest ways a home can be modified to better suit its animal inhabitants.

Experts suggest starting any pet-friendly decorating with the area in which pets spend the most time -- the floor. Many designers warn pet-loving clients against carpeting in favor of stain-resistant ceramic tile or hardwood, which can be mopped or vacuumed. But Paige approves of carpeting. Best Friends Pet Care.
