Pet Safe Blinds: The 3 Pets That Need Them Most

pet safe blinds kansas city

Your furry friends…loyal, charming and–sometimes–mischievous, they’ve found their way into your heart. Just as easily, they find themselves in challenging situations in your home. Sometimes intentional, but often enough, it’s accidental. Do you have pet safe blinds, shades or shutters in your home? Dangling cords can turn innocent play into frustrating tangles and even fatal injuries. It’s time to make safety a priority. But, that doesn’t mean you have to suffer. You can customize your home with pet safe blinds that meet everyone’s needs–including your pet. We think there are three kinds of pets in the world. Which one do you have?

The Active Pet

They love the view, staying entertained for long periods of time by foot traffic and squirrels.

Does your pet have 2-3 favorite spots around your home? This is the pet with a schedule. They lie at one window, soaking in the early morning sunshine. By mid-day, they are resting–or even sprawled out–on your bed. In the late afternoon? They’re positioned perfectly to see the kids walking home from school. You can’t give up all the benefits that window shades bring just so your pet’s schedule isn’t interrupted. PowerView motorization allows you to schedule adjustments based on daily activities and lifestyle so you and your pet can have it all. These pet safe blinds and shades remove the cords, making both safety and your pet’s schedule a priority.

The Anxious Pet

The mere glimpse of someone walking by–they go crazy, overwhelmed with anxiety.

You can’t bear the thought of your pet closed off from the world all day, feeling lonely and bored. Boredom can also lead to mischief. Getting tangled in cords due to innocent behavior can be frustrating and dangerous. We have great choices for your home. The louvers of plantation shutters, and the slats of cordless, pet safe blinds can direct light (and outdoor views) toward the ceiling for a home filled with daylight, while restricting the view. Top down shades are another option when you want to invite in natural light across the ceiling for valuable daylighting while blocking a view to the landscape and foot traffic.

The Combination Pet

The view outside is great, but only of the landscape. Passers-by can be too much for them.

This pet loves certain kinds of activity, but anything else can send them over the top. The consistent view of the backyard could be enjoyable at different times throughout the day, allowing them to be entertained. But the front of your home is off-limits…one too many joggers gets them riled up for the day. The answer? Customization. The great thing about pet safe blinds, shades and shutters is that you can select the products and operation that work best for individual rooms in your home based on you and your pet’s needs.

Lounge Chair

Relaxing Lounge Chairs Ideas from Interior Motives and More ... in Huntley, IL
A comfy arm chair, shown with Provenance® Woven Wood Shades

Lounge chairs are comfortable seating choices you can lean into.


If you think lounge chairs are a thing of the past, think again! They are new again and come in so many up-to-date styles, materials and colors. And who can imagine a more comfortable addition to your living room or great room? 

Lounge, sprawl, and stretch out. There are so many reasons to add a relaxing chair for comfy living: Give yourself a needed break and take time to watch TV, read a book, look out at a beautiful view or listen to music. 


Big, dark brown, battered leather is the stereotype image for a lounge chair, but there’s so much more. Today’s chairs can be more petite, with wingback or modern sleek designs or shaped more like chaise lounges. 

Lounge chairs come in loads of fabrics, including prints and light colors. Some have wood or chrome detailing, some come with welting, nail heads or tufting, and some have a swivel or rocker feature.


Things to consider:
– Plan your chair’s placement so there’s plenty of room for movement around it.
– Place a table nearby for snacks and beverages.
– Add a lamp if you plan to read while lounging.
– Make sure the lounge chair is the appropriate size for the room. If your other furniture is small, select a chair that complements this scale. 

Add a lounge chair for a new tilt on seating in your home. Then lie back and relax! For more ideas or for help with your next design project, please contact the team at Interior Motives and More ...
