There’s one word you don’t tend to associate with pet furnishings and that’s ‘stylish’. From scratch posts to pawprint dog beds, it’s safe to say that once you welcome a pet into your home, any plans you had of keeping to a certain aesthetic are scuppered.
But it doesn’t have to be that way. Thankfully there are more and more online stores wising up to the fact pet owners want visually-pleasing products which actually go nicely with current interior trends. From blush pink pet beds to brass food bowls, here’s our pick of the cream of the crop right now.
Blush Pink Medium Pet Bed, Made.com, £159
This luxurious little number comes with a hefty price tag but, saying that, every little detail has been thought of: from the blush pink, velvet material to the copper legs in a mid-century style. Do they do a human version too?
Petsafe Ceramic Water Fountain, Pets Pyjamas, £85.99
Pet water fountains can be a great way to encourage your cat or dog to drink more – and this ceramic version from Petsafe isn’t an eyesore either, which is a major winner in our books. Simply add water, plug in and you’re good to go.
Rattan Pet Basket For Cats Or Dogs, Not On The High Street, From £72
The natural look is on trend right now with rattan having a major resurgence. If your home is a haven of natural materials you might want to invest in a sturdy, albeit beautiful pet bed to match. You can buy it in small, medium, large or extra large, and can either purchase the basket on its own or with some blankets.
Walkies Dog Lead Hook, Not On The High Street, £75
If you’re looking for a hook stand with a difference, look no further than this cute little number made with vintage playing cards from a 1930s spelling game. The cards spell out “Walkies” and are double mounted in cream and black card in an elegant box frame, with four hooks for leads.
Terri Teepee, Made.com, £49
To mark the 50th anniversary of Woodstock festival, Made.com is selling a plush pet teepee which comes with a reversible sherpa cushion inside and a felt and pine exterior. It’s purrfect for cats as well as medium-sized dogs.
Personalised Ceramic Cat Bowl, Not On The High Street, £23.50
Let’s face it, pet bowls are far from glamorous, but they can be pretty cool if you choose the right ones. These fish-shaped bowls from Gilbert and Stone can be personalised with your pet’s name and you can also choose the rim and letter colours. Peggy would 100% approve.
Kyali Small Oval Pet Bed, Made.com, £99
If you’re after something a little more minimalistic in your search for a nice pet bed, check out this bed which has a natural ash frame and stylish grey cushions (which are machine washable, FYI). You can also buy a medium-sized bed for £159.
Gibraltar Pet Bowl, Lords & Labradors, £9.99
Looking to bring a touch of Spanish design into your life? This ceramic pet bowl features a charming turquoise and blue pattern. 15/10 would look fabulous in your kitchen.
Faux Fur Fleece Comforter, Charley Chau, £40
Whether you’re throwing it across your sofa, car seats or the end of your bed, this blanket is the height of comfort and comes with two sides – cool cotton and faux fur fleece. Some might say it’s the dog’s pyjamas.
Caviar Cat Bowl, Cheshire & Wain, £28
On a scale of one to 10, how snazzy is this cat bowl? We’ll answer that, it’s a solid 10. The hand-thrown porcelain bowl features a caviar tin design and has been made in collaboration with potter Rachel Dormor in Cambridge, England. Fancy.
Purrshire Felt Two Level Cat Stool House, Pet Planet, £22.99
Is it a bed? Is it a cat tree? It’s kind of both, to be honest. Made with grey felt and natural wooden legs, it’ll go with most types of decor and won’t look horrendous whether you place it in your living room, kitchen or bedroom. Your cat will be chuffed (read: mildly impressed) too.
Brass Pet Bowl With Stand, Made.com, £45
Dog owners can now treat their pooch to a raised bowl set which is easier on bigger dogs’ necks. The stylish brass-coloured bowls contrast nicely with the black wire frame and will undoubtedly make feeding time a fancy affair.
