It's hard to find a really nice dog bed that fits into a house. The last thing you want is to invite friends over and all they talk about is your grotesque dog bed, instead of a gorgeous piece of art on the wall.
It can be tricky styling out a house while keeping pets in mind, especially dogs and cats with all their accessories they come with. The idea of a dog bed is not to take away from the room, but to add something subtly to the design.
When I researched some dog beds, here were some of the options I found online.
Online with Harrods.com, The only bed they show on their website is:
What do you think? Really Harrods... I think you can do better then that!Here are a few others I found along my way... (*If you actually like any of these, feel free to click on the picture and it will take you to the site where I found them*)
This looks like something maybe Paris Hilton would like for her pup... oh wait, doesn't she own a micro-pig now? This would definitely suit a little micro-pig.
That bed fits perfectly... outside where no one can see it!
Yes, it's faux leather... pink... and quilted...
Don't be confused, you are still looking at dog beds. Yes, this is a dog bed...literally.
When I first saw this bed I thought it was a joke. But no, there is an actual website selling thos dog bed, and not only in this pink color but also the option of lavender. Sorry if anyone is interested, as the website says it's sold out.
As a dog owner myself, I am frustrated with the options out there for my pooch. I want something that is going to be comfortable for him, yet not take away from the room where it is. Even if the bed is in a side room, you don't want it to look out of place from the rest of the house. I find that a lot of my clients have the same problem.
Here are a few of the really great beds I found
The Dog Pod
The Ellipse Dog Bed
These dog beds are from Glenn Ross of Vurv Design (www.vurv.ca). He makes each one to order, and when you order you have a choice of 5 different veneers (black walnut, bamboo, maple, cherry, douglas fir). These beds would look gorgeous and blend into a room, rather than being a loud and ugly statement piece.
Another of my favorites is from Mungo & Maud, a London-based store in Belgravia. They make some really gorgeous products, but on the idea of dog beds, this has to be the best from their range.
It's made from handwoven Italian leather. What a piece! It comes in either dark chocolate, tan or white. This bed would enhance any room and not take away from it. It's simple, yet gorgeous.
I think any pup would be happy to have a nap in this little bed.
The last dog bed I found, I really like. It would fit perfectly in a really modern home with lots of windows and glass around. The makers at www.wowbow.com know what they're doing with dog beds.
The Mija dog bed is not only simple and practical, it is a piece that would be an asset to a design. I highly suggest taking a look at their website:
Have a look at all the different options of color for the plexiglass and all the colors for the cushions. They have photos of every option so you really know what you're ordering. And if you're going to order one of these fabulous dog beds, why not order a matching dining table!
