trying to keep a home cozy when you live with a dog feels impossible sometimes. these are the things that actually make my space feel soft + pulled together without stressing about fur, mess, or muddy paws
Â
looks cute, but survives accidents + muddy paw runs
washable rug (the only way i trust having one)
Â
saves my sofa from fur + scratches, still feels soft to sit on
couch cover that’s not ugly
Â
fast cleanups before guests (or before i lose my mind)
lint roller / fur remover
Â
the one thing that keeps “dog smell” under control
odor & stain spray (highly recommend)
Â
hides the chaos while still looking intentional
storage basket for toys
Â
keeps things fresh without being harsh for pets
dog-friendly air freshener
Â
stops the dirt before it hits the rest of the house
entryway mat (muddy paw trap)
Â
blends with the room + keeps him off the sofa
elevated dog bed (looks nicer than a floor pillow)
Â
saves the floor from water splashes + crumbs
food mat for bowls
Â
functional but hides clutter/dog stuff
side table with basket base
Â
leashes, harnesses, and poop bags actually have a spot
wall hooks/leash rack (entryway sanity saver)
Â
protects high-traffic spots while still looking cozy
