Few things in this world are as pure as the love of a dog, which is why so many of us have canine companions we cherish. It’s also why we pay homage to our pups in dog art that makes our spaces almost as cute and cuddly as our furry friends.
You don’t have to sacrifice sophistication or style to make a room in your home — or the entire place; why not? — into an oasis filled with adorable dog decor. Thanks to the many options available, the possibilities are ripe with potential.
The Rise of Dog Decor
Thirty-three percent of Canadians are dog guardians — more than the global average — showing just how much our canine family members mean to us.
Naturally, as more and more people become pup parents, we want our dog art and decor to honour the four-legged fur children who mean so much to us.
Dog Art and Dog Decor Ideas
You can incorporate dog art and decor in your home in myriad ways, which is helpful given how nuanced our spaces can be. Fortunately, you can narrow down what works best for your home and sensibilities with some popular approaches.
The Dog Breed Aesthetic
Whether you’re a fan of golden retrievers, terriers, corgis, or other types of dogs, a unified theme that salutes your breed of choice can tie any space together. Execute this aesthetic with figurines, dog wall art, woof-forward wallpaper accents, throw rugs, and cute dog dishes.
Upgrade to a Luxury Dog Bed
This tip may be on the more practical side, but you might be surprised at what the addition of a luxury dog bed can do for a room. Instead of a musty, worn-out pillow that’s been a little too well-loved, a posh dog bed that matches a room’s decor creates stylish unity.
Pet Portraits
If you want your perfect pupper immortalized in dog wall art, commission a pet portrait from a local artist or Etsy merchant. This trend is super popular and ensures you have a unique, one-of-a-kind piece of art to proudly display. Bonus: You also support independent artists with your commissioned piece.
Sprinkle in Minimal Dog Elements
Don’t want to go all out and dogify your entire home? Think about incorporating smaller elements like coasters or a set of throw pillows with paw prints rather than a sofa upholstered with a busy dog pattern. One or two small elements will add warm, stylish accents without taking the decor over the top.
