How to Match Your Dog’s Bed to Your Interior Design Style
A dog bed doesn’t have to be an afterthought—or something you hide when guests come over. In a well-designed home, every piece has intention, and that includes where your dog sleeps.
Choosing a dog bed that complements your interior is less about trends and more about thinking of it as part of your furniture. Materials, colour, shape, and placement all play a role. That's why here at The Artisan Dog Co, we love to work with you to create a dog bed that reflects you and your home.
Start with Your Overall Style
Look at your home as a whole. Is it modern, rustic, Scandinavian, or traditional? Your dog’s bed should feel like a natural extension of that style.
Modern: clean lines, neutral tones, structured shapes
Rustic: textured fabrics like linen in warm colours
Scandinavian: light tones, simplicity, function
Traditional: classic shapes with richer fabrics
Choose Colours That Blend, Not Clash
Instead of choosing a bold, standalone colour, pull from your existing palette.
Match tones from cushions or throws - or we can make your cushions and throws to compliment your sheme.
Echo colours from sofas, rugs, or curtains
Stick to muted or natural shades for a refined look
Think About Texture and Fabric
Texture helps tie a room together. A mismatch here often makes a dog bed feel out of place.
Woven interiors → choose tactile fabrics, for example, boucle, woven blends
Smooth, modern spaces → tighter weaves
Natural materials → cotton, wool, or linen
Consider Shape and Structure
The shape of the bed should reflect the lines in your home.
Modern homes → structured, rectangular beds
Relaxed interiors → rounded or cushion-style beds
Raised edges → more formal feel, like our pocket sided and classic collections
Flat designs → casual and minimal, like our pillow style
Placement Matters More Than You Think
Position the bed intentionally rather than placing it randomly.
Near furniture like sofas or armchairs
In visually balanced areas of the room
Where your dog naturally likes to rest
Don’t Ignore Practicality
A beautiful dog bed still needs to work in everyday life.
Ensure it's washable
Durable construction
Right size for your dog
A Shift in Mindset
Matching your dog’s bed to your interior is about intention. When treated as part of your home, it becomes a seamless element of your space—both functional and beautiful.
A well-designed home should work for everyone who lives in it, including your dog.
