Design Notes

Looking Out For Your Pet, Your Four-Legged Friend!

We all love our pets, but sometimes they can create problems when it comes to home design. For example, looking to create that perfect kitchen space you have dreamed of? And not sure where to put the dog’s bowl so that it doesn’t clash with the design? Are you wanting to create that amazing new bathroom but tired of the cat’s litter box being an eyesore, and unsure of how to hide it with style? We can help create a pet-friendly space! While we are a custom kitchen and bath cabinet design center, we can also do much more because we specialize in creating unique solutions for your home.

Creating Function Without Compromise

Here at Walker Woodworking, we care about the needs of our clients, and that extends beyond the two-legged kind. Since most of us here have our furry companions, we understand the importance of including them in the design. We have become experts in creating functional spaces without compromising beauty. Every pet owner wants their little friend to be comfortable, which sometimes requires planning to utilize the space to its maximum potential, which is where we come in.

We encourage our clients during the design meeting to share any specific needs or wishes they have for their pets. We want to help you create the perfect space. Knowing in advance what they need makes the planning stage much easier. These requests have resulted in some amazing little details added to some of the projects we have done over the years. One great example was a special cat-shaped door created for a litter box area. Allowing the owner’s cat to use the litter box while keeping with the design looks fantastic! Feeding areas for pets can be a problem, especially with dogs, since some of them enjoy turning their food bowls over. We solved that problem by creating an open cabinet with custom cutouts that fit the feeding bowls of the owner’s dog neatly inside while remaining easily accessible to their pet. It was a functional and practical space while remaining true to the original design. Here are a few other pet ideas that could be included in the remodel design process.

Custom Designs To Suit Both You and Your Pet’s Unique Needs

We strive to think outside the box, adding those little extra touches that meet a need while staying true to the design. It is possible for function and beauty to coexist. We take what you have, factor in what you need, and create a space that is perfect for everyone. Sometimes it is necessary to live in smaller spaces, which creates a need for a well-used area that serves multiple purposes. Because we are a custom cabinet shop, we can create the perfect space for your pet, seamlessly blending your pet’s needs into your lifestyle. Here are some essential questions we ask during our initial meeting with our clients.

  • What type of space are we working with?
  • Who will be using the space?
  • What style and atmosphere are you looking to create?
  • Are there any particular special needs we need to consider when creating the design?

It is our pleasure to assist you in having a home you have always wanted for you and your sweet companions. So don’t forget to include your furry friend in your design, they have given you so much love and deserve to be taken into account. We look forward to helping you create a space that is ideally suited to the whole family’s needs. Feel free to browse our gallery for more inspiration.

Taking the time to select a layout and design style that suits you is important. Here, we answer some of the more common aspects to consider when designing the ideal master bathroom.

Kitchen islands are a great place to add extra seating, but built-in seating, often called banquettes, is a wonderful way to add seating with style. Let’s discuss the benefits of including built-in seating in your kitchen and explore ways to incorporate it into your design.

Choosing the right countertops is crucial to enhance the overall look and feel of your kitchen, bathroom, office, pantry, or laundry room. Countertops are like the “icing on the cake” for cabinetry, and they can make or break the design of your space.

Choosing the right home products can help you create a wellness environment, giving you more peace of mind. Spend time evaluating your home and identifying areas for improvement. Let your home be the best it can be for everyone.

We love old homes, the history they hold, and the unique beauty each possesses. Preserving these dwellings is something we enjoy being part of because it gives us a chance to protect the past while making a few modifications that make it more convenient for today’s owners. There are many factors to consider for such a special project.
