10 Visually Appealing Dog Beds

Did you know last Friday was National Dog Day? The special day was created in 2004 to honor those furry friends in our lives and bring recognition to all of the dogs that need to be rescued. I am a dog owner and like many families with dogs, she is more like a K9 Kid than just a pet. She is spoiled and we know it :)

We all spend so much time and effort making our living spaces creative and beautiful so why does it have to stop there? Our pets deserve a cozy and beautiful living space too! So today, in honor of National Dog Day I’m sharing 10 Visually Appealing Dog Beds. Try one out, your dog will thank you!

1. Small Dog Bed Tutorial from Ana White. 

2. Modern Suitcase Bed from Ready Made.

3. Quilted Dog Bed from BHG.

4. Rustic Crate Dog Bed from Home Frosting.

5. Old Drawers Turned Dog Beds by Liz Marie.

6. DIY Round Dog Bed from BHG. 

 7. Modern Dog Bed and Pillow from House of Turquoise. 

8. Cozy Dream Dog Bed from Crafted Niche. 

9. DIY Modern Coffee Table Dog House from HGTV.

 10. Side Table Turned Dog Bed from One Nutty Girl. 

Maybe one of these days my K9 Kid will get her own special bed. What about you, have you made a special dog bed for your fluffy friend?

    My dog is very crate trained, so no dog bed at this point. I really love the one you posted from House of Turquoise – very chic!

    Coffee table dog house! What a great space saver! My dogs hang out on the sofa, which translates into always having a large blanket covering it. Maybe if I make them a couple of cool beds they’ll be more inclined to actually use them. Thanks for the ideas!

    When our day comes to own a dog, we’ll surely need to do one of these, so cute. Especially the suitcase one. :)

POV: working with what you have and creating somet POV: working with what you have and creating something completely new! I kept all the original flooring, cabinets, backsplash and fixtures and did only cosmetic updates to update this space. I wanted to add more contrast, character, warmth and texture. By smoothing out the texture of the walls it instantly gave it an updated look, the new paint color added contrast, the wood ceiling added warmth and texture and all the antiques and vintage pieces gave it the charm. 🖤
