- Pets can be trained to stay off furniture using techniques like keep away spray, tape loops, and aluminum foil.  - Low pile rugs and stain-resistant fabrics help manage pet hair and accidents, making cleanup easier and maintaining your decor.  - Choosing pet toys that are visually distinct from your decor and using performance fabrics or indoor-outdoor rugs can prevent damage and extend the life of your furnishings.
