15. The Luxurious Pet Washing Station
If you are tired of muddy paws tracking through your clean house or struggling to bathe your dog in a family bathtub, a custom pet washing station under the stairs is the ultimate luxury. This highly practical feature is best suited for stairs located near a mudroom, garage, or back entrance. Build a raised, tiled shower basin equipped with a handheld shower wand to make bathing your pet comfortable for your back.
Line the walls with beautiful, water-resistant subway tiles and install a glass splash guard to keep water contained. Beneath or adjacent to the elevated bath, design built-in cubbies to store pet shampoos, towels, and grooming brushes. This dedicated station not only keeps your main bathrooms clean but also turns pet grooming into a quick, stress-free, and highly organized routine.
