Fun Houzz: Sweet and Quirky Homes for the Family Pet
These pet beds, homes and nooks prove your four- (or two-) legged friend deserves only the best
Houzzers love their pets, and for good reason. A pet always listens, never interrupts and won’t judge your secret love for Ryan Gosling. Therefore, Fido and co deserve a stylish pad to rival their owners’ own, and from which they can happily survey their little kingdom. In celebration of all the gloriously pampered pups, kitties and other creatures who we (more or less) gladly cohabit with, here are some of the most stylish, ingenious and downright quirky pet homes on Houzz.
For the jet-setter…
A worldly pup needs a pad that reflects her wanderlust. A suitcase-turned-sofa bed is the perfect answer.

…and her feline travelling pal
Cats reportedly like to take off once in a while as well, so make sure you give your kitty the perfect bed that signals he loves the jet-setting life, but still appreciates his comfort.

For the art connoisseur
Just because your dog can’t fully perceive the colour spectrum as you can doesn’t mean he can’t appreciate good art when he sees it. A little cubbyhole with some inspiring pictures on the walls is the perfect place for a blissful afternoon nap.

For the posh chicks
Just because they’re chickens doesn’t mean they need to live in just any ramshackle coop. A regal chandelier provides this feathered foursome with lighting fit for avian royalty.

For the DIY dog
This pup knows the value of hard work and resourcefulness, and his home shows it. A repurposed bin and some plywood create a spacious modern home that’s sustainable and unique.

For the one with separation issues
Being apart can be hard. That’s why this dog wants her bed to be as close to her owners’ as possible. It probably doesn’t hurt that it’s also the dog’s equivalent of a queen-sized bed as well.

For the observer
For a fish, you and your silly antics are the TV they watch on a daily basis. So make sure little Nemo can get the best view possible with this porthole aquarium that offers unobstructed 180-degree views of your living room.

For the bad boy
Your dog’s tough, and he needs the world to know it. A solid crate under the stairs with a sign that he’s ready to shake things up is just the home for your hardened canine. Just don’t mention the fact that he actually cuddles up with you at night because he’s afraid of the dark.

For royalty
This kitty knows that cats have been considered royalty in various cultures throughout the ages, so she expects you to acknowledge that fact. A regal, medieval-inspired bed is just the thing, and provides an ideal place for daytime naps and contemplations on world domination.

For the pop art pup
This pup knows she’s fabulous, and demands a whole nook to reflect that. A stylish Warhol-inspired self-portrait, colour-coordinated bedding and a graphic tote are all key décor elements for a stylish canine corner.

For the divas
These birds love being the centre of attention, which is why their splendid gold cage has to be set up in the living room, right where everyone can see them. They also really like to watch The X Factor for inspiration, so it’s rather important they stay close to the TV.

For the one with an expensive postcode
This dog has sophisticated taste, and knows he’s beyond simple nooks in the wall. He demanded something special, and boy did he get it. A custom bed overlooking a private window, a comfy rug, and an adjacent display niche for all of his belongings… Can I move in, too?
