The Home of David, Luna and Charlie

The Home of David, Luna and Charlie

David Költgen, who has an affinity for design, lives with his two cats, Luna and Charlie, in their cosy home near Düsseldorf.
In our Home Story, David gives us an exclusive insight into life with his two furry friends and reveals what is important to him when it comes to designing his home with cats.

"Pets bring a unique sense of calm and warmth to a room. They radiate comfort and make a home feel more alive and personal."

David

How would you describe your interior design style?

I would describe my interior design style as calm and timeless, but with a certain liveliness. I like rooms that look curated without being too perfect – with books, objects and things that accumulate over time.

Luna and Charlie spend a lot of time in the living room, where our Torre scratching post stands near both windows. They sleep on the highest level and have a good view for observing from there.

What role do materials, colors, and shapes play in your home with cats?

A big role, especially when it comes to materials. They should be durable and uncomplicated without detracting from the tranquillity or aesthetics of the room. Colours and shapes then help to create a harmonious overall effect.

What is important to you when choosing furniture and accessories for your cats?

Functionality plays a major role, of course, but so does design. I try to choose items that are not only practical for the cats, but also blend in nicely with the interior design.

MiaCara products fit in well with my interior design style because they have a timeless and minimalist design. They blend in perfectly with the interior without compromising on functionality.

It is important to me to show that cats make a home even more lively without compromising on design and atmosphere.

For other cat lovers, especially those just starting with young cats, I would say: take your time, observe what works, and design your home so that it is equally comfortable for you and your pets. Small routines and a conscious approach to furnishings and materials help enormously.
How important is sustainability to you when choosing products for your home?

Very important. I make sure that materials are durable and that products are chosen as consciously as possible so that they retain their place over time.

For me, quality is above all consistency – things that last a long time and moments that are precious. This is also evident in my life with my cats. A safe, loving space where everything is just right.

For me, this works best with materials, colours and arrangement. When things fit harmoniously into the space and radiate a certain timelessness, it doesn't feel like a compromise between function and design.
