If you have enough room in your laundry, a pet washing station could be the best move you've ever made. Avoid mud being run through the house and pet hair blocking your shower drains - win! A small tiled hob with raised floor and a hand held shower on the wall will make it easy for you to direct the spray and give your dog a luxurious soak.

Incorporating a hidden drawer at the bottom of your laundry design for dog food bowls is brilliant as it allows you to keep the bowls off the floor and hide the bowls when you have guests or it's not dinner time.

Make sure you get removable bowls for your drawer as this will make it easy to clean and replace.

Making sure our pets have a comfy place to lay their head in the new laundry is a top priority, but if you don't want a dog bed laying out in the open, try incorporating a space in the cabinetry.

Using Wall/Robe Hooks in the laundry can be used for so many different things but if we're designing our laundry for our pets, they are perfect for hanging leads and pet bags.
