11 Pieces Of Pet-Friendly Furniture That Won't Break The Bank

If any of your roommates are of the canine or feline variety, you might want to make specific decisions when it comes to decorating your digs, Your pet might want to dig a hole in something to stash a toy — and as much as we love our pets, our couches, and arm chairs and coffee tables are investments we don't want to see bite or claw marks in. Thankfully there are pieces of pet-friendly furniture that won't break the bank or your style. You can have your cute sofa and cute doggo too.

Pets assume plush armchairs are their thrones. They reign over the living room. And when they're done with their outside business, they drag in dirt, fur, and other things that aren't anything you want to nap on top of. But hope is not lost for the cleanliness of your couch — particularly if you choose the right fabrics, designs, and colors to counteract whatever your pet might come at it with. Some of this is going to depend more on what kind of shenanigans your pet likes to get into, but know this: It is possible to live out your Pinterest fantasies. Allow yourself and your pet to rule the kingdom of your home side by side with durable, pet-friendly fabrics and furniture pieces that are still on the affordable side.
