How to create a pet-friendly kitchen

At Dekton Surfaces, we know that kitchens aren’t just for cooking – they’re for living. They’re where dogs nap in sunny corners, cats patrol worktops, and food bowls somehow always end up well, right under your feet.  If you share your home with pets, creating a pet-friendly kitchen doesn’t mean compromising on design. It just means choosing surfaces that are made for real life.

Designed for busy pet pawrents

Life with pets can be unpredictable, but your kitchen surfaces shouldn’t be. Dekton Surfaces are engineered to cope with the everyday chaos of a lively home,  from claws skidding across the floor to water bowls tipping over at breakfast. Our ultra-compact surfaces are highly resistant to scratches and wear, making them ideal for kitchens that see constant movement (both human and four-legged).

For households with energetic pets, darker tones like Kelya, Sirius, or Trilium are especially popular, helping to disguise paw prints and minor marks while still delivering a bold, contemporary look. If you prefer something lighter, Aura, Rem, or Albarium offer a softer aesthetic without sacrificing performance.

Hygiene made simple

A pet-friendly kitchen needs to be easy to keep clean. Because Dekton Surfaces are completely non-porous, they don’t absorb liquids, odours, or bacteria. That means spills, accidents, and feeding-time messes stay on the surface and don’t sink into it.

This makes everyday cleaning refreshingly simple. A quick wipe with standard household cleaners is all it takes to keep your kitchen hygienic and looking its best, even when your pet insists on supervising dinner prep – and begging for scraps.

A kitchen that keeps up with you

Busy kitchens often mean hot pans, quick meals, and multitasking – sometimes with a dog-shaped vacuum under your feet. Dekton Surfaces are exceptionally heat resistant, so placing hot cookware directly on the surface won’t cause damage. It’s one less thing to worry about in a home where things rarely stay still.

Our surfaces are also UV-resistant, meaning your kitchen will maintain its colour and finish even in sun-filled spaces where pets love to stretch out and relax.

Style without compromise

We believe a pet-friendly kitchen should still reflect your personal style. From industrial-inspired finishes to natural stone-inspired designs such as Laurent or Arga, Dekton Surfaces allow you to create a kitchen that feels curated, not cautious.

Used across worktops, islands, flooring, and even wall cladding, Dekton brings cohesion to your kitchen while standing up to everyday life with pets.

At Dekton Surfaces, we design with real homes in mind – homes that are shared, lived in, and occasionally a little messy. With durability, hygiene, and timeless design built in, Dekton Surfaces make it easier to create a kitchen that works beautifully for everyone in the household – furry friends included.
