Just because your furry friends are sleeping on it, rolling around on it, drooling on it and making the occasionally number 2 on it … doesn’t meant it can’t be stylish too. Dog beds are inside your house, meaning they need to have a little oomph and pizazz to them! Whether you buy something fashionable or jazz it up yourself there is no need to get a plain jane dog bed that leaves a drab, boring spot in your home. Check out these ideas and inspiration … then go hunting for the perfect dog bed for your stylish pup!

1. Make it legitimate.

Add an actual bed frame to that boring ole’ doggy bed. It punches it up a notch, makes a cute little space in your pet’s personal nook and contains any doggy mess.

2. Make a cubby.

Repurpose a piece of furniture or try and make one from scratch. Either way, this is super stylish and blends in with the room so your guests don’t walk directly in your house and say, “O, look … a dog bed.” And those smaller pups will feel quite secure and cozy inside.

3. Make it a statement.

So maybe you don’t need or feel like adding anything to the bed to make it stylish. Buy or reupholster a dog bed with printed fabric! It’s an instant face lift for monochromatic bed.

4. Make it accessorized.

Add pillows and throws that add style or go along with its already fabulous decor! Your pup will enjoy the extra cushion and it’s just more fun for you!

5. Make it tall.

Give your pup a little exercise and excitement. Add height to their bed! A quick jump or step adds a bit of chicness to the bed itself and a playfulness for your pup!

Take a moment to look through some of these outrageously fantastic dog bed creations. Maybe they’ll provide some inspiration for your next doggy bed purchase. Go ahead and spoil your pooch … your home will love it! Take something ordinary and make it extraordinary. Use space at the bottom of a bookshelf for a bigger dog or turn that old, worn out suitcase into a comfy treat for a smaller pet. Blend your dog’s bed into your home’s decor or make it stand out for good reasons (and not because of the stains and excessive shedding!). Get inspired!
