Concept Overview & Aesthetic Appeal
A specialized, elevated tiled wash station built adjacent to the utility sink and washing machines, designed for washing family pets and rinsing muddy gardening boots before entering the home.
Step-by-Step Execution Guide
-
Frame an elevated 30×40-inch curb basin 12 inches above the finished floor level to prevent back strain while washing pets.
-
Waterproof the basin with a continuous Schluter-KERDI membrane and line with white subway tile and charcoal grout.
-
Install a commercial-grade thermostatic mixing valve with a flexible handheld high-pressure hose and slide bar.
-
Add a frameless glass splash guard on one side and a built-in leash anchor clip in the wall tile.
-
Locate the station directly next to the exterior entry door so muddy paws never touch the main room flooring.

Pro Styling Tip
Install a recessed niche inside the dog wash tiled wall to store pet shampoo, grooming brushes, and quick-dry microfiber pet towels.
