Let\u2019s be honest: as much as we all love our dogs, a picture\u2011perfect home that looks like it came straight out of a magazine doesn\u2019t always go hand in hand with muddy paw prints, ugly dog blankets and hair on, well\u2026 everything. The standard dog accessories your pup uses aren\u2019t always the most flattering for your interior, unfortunately. <\/p>\n

But what if I told you that you CAN have a beautifully styled home and pets? And best of all: it\u2019s easy to achieve with minimal effort. <\/p>\n

Because let\u2019s face it, doesn\u2019t every pup parent and their dog deserve a stylish interior with beautiful dog accessories?<\/p>\n

With these 8 tips, we\u2019ll help you create a gorgeous, stylish interior that\u2019s also completely \u201cdog\u2011proof\u201d<\/p>\n

Stylish dog essentials | 8 tips for a beautifully styled home with a dog<\/h2>\n

Tip 1: Work with a colour scheme \u2013 including for dog accessories<\/h2>\n

Every interior designer will tell you: designing and decorating any home starts with a colour scheme. And within that colour scheme, you definitely shouldn\u2019t forget your dog\u2019s accessories. <\/p>\n

It\u2019s such a shame to walk into a beautifully renovated and styled home and see a dusty dog bed next to the sofa and a bright blue metal food bowl in the kitchen. Don\u2019t get me wrong, there\u2019s no judgement here. But it is a pity to put so much effort into decorating your home and then not do the same when picking out products for your pup. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/div>\n

Start by looking at the key pieces in a room to define your colour scheme. Once you clearly know which palette suits the space, match your pet accessories to it. Choose dog accessories in complementary colours, or go for a contrasting shade and add an accent colour. <\/p>\n

In general, a room\u2019s colour palette should have one main colour (e.g. walls), one secondary colour (large furniture, rugs, etc.), and a few accent colours and textures that tie everything together. Choose one item in the room that you love most and let its colour lead the way. Build your colour scheme around it. <\/p>\n

By including dog products in your colour scheme, you ensure they blend seamlessly into your interior, just like all your other beautiful pieces.<\/p>\n

Tip 2: The dog bed is key<\/h2>\n

One thing you shouldn\u2019t skimp on for your dog is their bed. Just as it\u2019s important for us to have a good mattress, it\u2019s just as important for your pup. They don\u2019t just sleep there \u2013 they relax and unwind, and it\u2019s their own safe little spot. <\/p>\n

The downside of a dog bed is that it quickly becomes quite a sizeable item. Even for the smallest dog, the bed is often fairly large. Because of that size, the dog bed soon becomes a prominent object in your room \u2013 there\u2019s not much we can do about that. <\/p>\n

So it\u2019s worth investing in a dog bed with clean, minimalist lines, durable materials and a contemporary colour palette (step away from the paw prints and cartoon patterns!). Look for hypoallergenic foam fillings and washable covers for ultimate comfort and easy cleaning.<\/p>\n

A high\u2011quality dog bed will last a (dog\u2019s) lifetime and is an investment you won\u2019t regret.<\/p>\n

If you want to make the bed extra cosy or protect it from muddy paws, add a beautiful throw. It doesn\u2019t just add warmth and comfort \u2013 it also helps keep the dog bed cleaner for longer. <\/p>\n

Tip 3: Choose durable, high\u2011quality materials for dog accessories<\/h2>\n

The materials you choose for your dog products can literally make or break your quest for a stylish, pet\u2011friendly home.<\/p>\n

Poorly made beds, collars and bowls will cost you time and money in the long run because they tear, wear out and break easily with daily use.<\/p>\n

What you\u2019re looking for are durable, practical yet stylish materials and finishes. Robust cotton, (vegan) leather and ceramic all offer a luxurious feel while withstanding everything your dog throws at them (whether that\u2019s drool, dirt or multiple attempts at chewing!). <\/p>\n

For beds, choose darker tones or subtle patterns if your dog tends to track muddy paw prints everywhere; for collars and leads, look for solid hardware and premium materials that don\u2019t just look good but also keep your pup safe.<\/p>\n

Tip 4: Make mealtimes part of your decor<\/h2>\n

Food and water bowls are often an afterthought in a stylish, pet\u2011friendly home.<\/p>\n

First, think practically: does your pup eat and drink indoors or outdoors? Do they need multiple sets of bowls? Would they benefit from an elevated feeder? And do they have a habit of tipping their bowl over? <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/div>\n

A beautiful yet fully functional go\u2011to option is ceramic bowls. They\u2019re weighted at the bottom and heavy enough to stay upright and not be knocked over or pushed around (no spills, no mess!). Plus, their glazed finish adds a luxurious, timeless feel that other bowls just don\u2019t have. <\/p>\n

The handcrafted ceramic bowls from Pawness<\/a> feature contemporary glaze tones that blend effortlessly into almost any interior. They\u2019re also made from 100% natural clay and glaze \u2013 good for your pup, your home and the planet. <\/p>\n

Tip 5: Give dog accessories a dedicated spot <\/h2>\n

\u201cA place for everything and everything in its place.\u201d This wisdom exists for a reason. One of the easiest ways to keep your home looking beautiful and tidy is to create a dedicated storage area for your dog\u2019s belongings. <\/p>\n

Grooming products, brushes and toys can all be neatly stored in a dedicated cupboard or basket. Choose a spot that\u2019s out of sight but still easy to reach. That way you no longer have random dog items cluttering up your living space. <\/p>\n

Woven baskets are perfect for storing toys you want to tuck away after playtime. Meanwhile, beautifully crafted collars and leads deserve to be displayed. Have a gorgeous, handmade vegan leather lead? Hang this beauty in full view and show people just how stunning it is. <\/p>\n

Tip 6: Throws are your best friend <\/h2>\n

Any seasoned pup parent will tell you: throws and blankets are the secret to a stylish, pet\u2011friendly home.<\/p>\n

Drape a blanket over your sofa, at the foot of your bed, or on the floor\u2026 A well\u2011placed dog blanket (of course matching the colour scheme you\u2019ve chosen) hides a multitude of sins, protects your furniture AND adds a stylish layer of texture to any room.<\/p>\n

Opt for a blanket made from natural materials \u2013 both soft and strong. Want more than one? Mix different textures and choose colours that sit within your palette to create beautiful accents. And the best part: these blankets are as practical as they are pretty \u2013 they protect your furniture from dirt, hair and muddy paws. <\/p>\n

Tip 7: Coat care is essential<\/h2>\n

By now you\u2019ve created a home that\u2019s worthy of a magazine spread \u2013 all your dog accessories match your interior perfectly (psst\u2026 and anything less stylish is hidden away behind closed doors). But to keep your interior looking this \u201cflawless\u201d, there\u2019s one final step: grooming. The last thing you want is for your beautiful home to be covered in a blanket of hair and to smell less than fresh. <\/p>\n

Depending on your dog\u2019s coat type, it\u2019s a good idea to brush them regularly. Some coats need more maintenance than others<\/a>, so it\u2019s important to tailor grooming to your dog\u2019s specific needs. Regular brushing keeps shedding under control, while a conditioning spray provides a refreshing scent and keeps both coat and skin in top condition. <\/p>\n
