If you love kittens and cats, but don’t love the big box pet store options for cat furniture, towers, scratching posts and cat trees, fear not. Here are 11 of the best expensive cat trees, towers, scratching posts and other furniture for every kind of luxury home décor right now. Nary a one of them is boring beige or overly obvious. Yay!
can cat trees and furniture actually make a design statement in a luxury home?
There are a handful of silver linings from the era of the coronavirus pandemic and the mandatory shelter-in-place restrictions that so much of the world has been living through – and from which we hope we are now slowly emerging. One of them is that lots of people of adopted or purchased new kittens and cats.
Another is that these new cat parents started to inquire about cat trees, towers, scratching posts and other cat accoutrements that would actually fit their luxury home décor and their personalities. As one interview subject noted “since cat items are really expensive anyway, you might as well get what you really want.” Well said! The result is that there are a lot more options now than there ever were before to level up your cat furniture.
We recently adopted an adorable kitten, and one of the essential buys on our list was a cat tower, and perhaps a couple of other items of cat furniture.

2. For lovers of Scandinavian style: Tuft & Paw.
Tuft & Paw’ is well know for chic luxury cat furniture with a clean, minimalist line. Like this bestselling cat tower, The Grove. It comes in short and tall versions and in two finishes. The slatted design keeps the feeling light and airy, and the faux shearling perch at the top makes for some lovely cat hygge all year ’round.
3. For the elegant minimalist: The Refined Feline
The Lotus cat tower is almost six feet tall and it makes a statement that is beyond the one announcing “yes, I have a cat living in my house.” We purchased one and people frequently mistake it for a piece of sculpture or home décor. Our kitty loves it, and never seems to tire of climbing and playing on it. Win-win!

4. For the serious design maven: Rinn
Designed by Tokyo-based “cat lifestyle brand” Rinn in collaboration with product designer Yoh Komiyama, the Neko Modern Cat Tree features a column-like construction anchored by a marble base (sourced from Greece). The three circular levels—each of which includes a felted section—form a protective screen while also allowing light through. The company will create only 22 per year – thus the waiting list and the expensive price tag.
