Calling all designer dogs and cool cats! It’s time for a pet style refresh.

When it comes to style, it’s all about personality. Your individual interests and what appeals to you is what determines your overall taste. Although your pet’s priority will come down to fabrics, much like what you get at Lesure with our buttery smooth textures (wink wink) but it's also important to keep in mind that the overall look of their pet essentials greatly influences the feel of your home and the vibe of their surroundings.
COLOR SPLASHING
One method of elevating your home space is by incorporating a single pop of color, which can easily be done in stages. Do this by slowly adding key pieces to your living room or kitchen. For city cats, the addition of color adds dimension and visual interest to smaller spaces. Adding an accent color can also add some flair and wholesome energy to an otherwise overly modern or monochromatic apartment.
Another method is by combining similar or complementary hues. Whether you’re going for bold and bright or soft and subtle – this style technique is more about creating balance. For example, if your furniture tends to be more on the neutral side with beiges, a splash of white could bring out more liveliness. On the other hand, adding similar tones of light tans or creams will showcase a more serene and uniformed vibe.
Having a theme for your space can also dictate visual flow. For example, combining pink and navy give off a fun preppy vibe, while the combination of dark greens and rich browns embrace a more nature-inspired feel. If you’re someone that enjoys the beach, different shades of blue or woodsy browns could also be your thing.

PRINT POPPING
Including patterns to your home decor repertoire adds an additional depth of interest by applying visual textures to a blank canvas. Whether you’re into intricate floral patterns or dreamy cloud formations, the key is to choose patterns that speak to you (and your furry friend).
Generally, geometric patterns tend to catch the eye, especially when scanning a wide space. This essentially creates a focal point by drawing your attention to a particular section of the room. For those who have a bigger space to work with, this pattern could work very well.
Clean lines like stripes, squares, and checks establishes a methodical foundation to any room. Psychologically, these patterns also add a feeling of harmony and tranquility as it breaks an overly stuffy or monotonous environment.
Spiral and hexagon patterns are associated with transformation. But visually, they showcase a sense of movement. Hence why these patterns are used in countless works of art and fashion designs. Incorporating these onto shelves and cabinets adds a level of intrigue or playfulness to your home’s ambiance.
