As a rule, such products are not cheap in specialized stores, but owners usually do not skimp on their pets, and the demand for these products is growing day by day.
These facts can be successfully used to open your own very profitable business - start making furniture for pets. You can work in several directions at once: make accessories for both dogs and cats, produce both houses and mattresses. Or you can master one specialization.
How to make a dog house
For a dog that lives indoors, a small chest of drawers that can be made from an ordinary kitchen cabinet is suitable. You just need to add loops at the bottom and sew the mattress with the cover.
An even better option is to make a chest of drawers of a certain size from cut chipboard. A drawer would be nice for dog toys or clothes, and a special hook on the side for a leash. The result is a comfortable and functional “kennel” in the home version.

How to make a cat house
It is well known that cats love to rest in secluded places - on the closet, in the mezzanine, in travel bags, etc. This feature of their behavior should be used when making a house. The body of the product should somewhat resemble a dog kennel with a small entrance. You can lay a karemat on the floor - the material from which travel rugs are made. It can be used for walls, and foam rubber for the ceiling.
Each detail of the house is a cover with foam rubber inside. We sew the finished parts together - and the house is ready. It wouldn’t be a bad idea to place a scratching post next to your cat’s home: she probably won’t refuse to sharpen her claws on a pleasant fabric.
A cat's house should not be too spacious: cats don't like that. You can also get creative with the shape - make a tower, a cube or even a yurt. A very good option is a folding house, which is convenient to take with you on the road.
Pallets
Pallets are wooden boxes or pallets with low sides that are used to transport furniture or other goods. They have long been adapted for garden furniture.
You can also make children's furniture for playing with your own hands. Just before giving the pallets to your child, you need to make sure that they are perfectly smooth and will not leave splinters on his palms.

It doesn't hurt to paint them in fun colors. From such pallets, a student can build a rack, a couch, a bench and other furniture. parents can help him or provide him with opportunities for creativity.
When looking at photos of homemade children's furniture, it is not always possible to distinguish it from factory furniture. At the same time, it will cost several times less or even be free.
Other furniture options for animals
A practical resting place for a pet is a bedding or mattress. Nowadays, few owners are content with a piece of old carpet or rags - usually a bright and attractive product is purchased for the animal.
If you add a little creativity to your work, you can create original and varied versions of such bedding.
For example, a mattress in a cover with a zipper is easy to use, the cover can be removed and washed. You can choose any fabric, but it is better to choose thick linen, sheared fur or tapestry. The size and shape of the product is limited only by your imagination.
Mattresses consisting of 30-40 ottomans sewn together look very unusual. This product is sewn as follows.
You will need fabric for the top and for the lining (to begin with, it is better to take a simpler and cheaper fabric). The lining fabric is cut into squares of 10x10 cm. For the top we take 40% more fabric. The lining fabric is folded in half, the fold in the center is cut 2 cm. Now we connect the front sides of the lining and the top, collecting the excess top fabric into folds.
We sew along the perimeter and turn it inside out - this creates a separate ottoman. When the required quantity has been sewn, we connect all the ottomans around the perimeter. You can use foam rubber or synthetic padding as a filler. The cuts must be sewn by hand, and the edges must be finished with piping.
Depending on your sewing skills, you can create any type of animal furniture in this way - from simple loungers to spectacular sofas.
When you set the price of a product, aim for it to be no less than twice the cost. Even higher prices can be set for complex types of products.
Practice before you start selling your pet furniture. Make the first product from cheap fabric and invite someone to evaluate the result. You can look for scraps of fabric or filling in sewing studios: they are often given for pennies or even free.
You can sell finished products through pet stores or work to order.
Furniture materials
Before any ideas and drawings for children's furniture, you need to decide and decide what materials it will be made of. The main thing with this choice is that they are natural. In fact, this is a good practice not only for the children's room, but also for the house as a whole, but when the issue concerns the child, the priority becomes clear.
Wood is best suited as the main material, but it is better to look at hardwood for greater structural strength. It is also worth using natural fabrics for upholstery, which will be well accompanied by hypoallergenic padding.
If you want to make something simple, but practical and reliable, then in addition to the details of the piece of furniture, you will only need simple screws, bolts and angles for fastening. If you decide to add a little interactivity and movement to parts of the structure, you may need additional guides and closers.
Next, you need to decide what furniture can be made from for the children’s room, and most importantly, what kind of furniture you can find in your home. First of all, this applies to upholstery materials - fabric or a soft blanket can be very useful. Everything else you can go and buy at a store or hardware supermarket.
If you couldn’t find something, the Internet will help. Despite the amount of work, which can be very pleasant, the end result will also turn out that with all the materials that had to be purchased or ordered, the price tag still turned out to be several times cheaper than when buying a finished piece of furniture in a store.
When thinking about how to make children's furniture with your own hands, you should not forget about what this creation is accompanied by. If the tree needs a primer, you should make sure that it does not have harmful components inside. The same applies to adhesive compositions along with paints - they must be natural and safe for the child.
