Ways to Decorate Your Pet Door

Pet doors are a popular choice for homes with dogs or cats, giving your furry friend the freedom to roam. Many animal lovers strive to make pet doors work for their needs too, seeking ways to customize a dog door or cat flap match their home’s design scheme. With the creative tricks below, a simple coat of paint or transparent paneling can transform a standard dog door into a functional yet attractive pet accessory.

Get Crafty

If your pet uses an outdoor flap that’s comprised of a simple aluminum or wood frame, try a quick coat of paint to blend in with the rest of the door or wall. You can also use stamps or sponges to create a painted design around the opening of the pet door.

Seek Functional Designs

Using an unsightly baby gate to keep pets from entering different rooms of the home? Skip the bulky plastic and try a pocket door, which stays hidden when not in use. Pocket doors can be fully customized to match a wall or door, including decorative moulding or metal hardware.

Use Transparent Panels

Glass panels are another great option for gating pets between rooms – especially for smaller pets that don’t pose the risk of shattering the surface. Your pet will love being able to see what’s happening on the other side of the gate, and you can try different types of glass for a custom look. There are many options available, from frosted panels to stained glass gates.
