Aesthetic Dog Beds

Aesthetic dog beds have always been my aim for our family dog. I have spent hours, days, weeks even, making sure my home decor is how I want it. Spending my hard earned dollars on soft furnishings and repairs every year! And I bet you are the same. It’s no wonder my family and yours are invested in making sure the dog’s bed doesn’t ruin our home reno efforts. If you’re looking for a dog bed which is attractive rather than an eyesore, look no further. I’ve rounded up a dozen beautifully designed dog beds to suit every taste, without sacrificing comfort, durability or practicality.

Is it crazy to look for aesthetic dog beds?

I don’t think so! Even though my own pup’s nest is pretty utilitarian, he has a toddler size comforter in it and I love finding brightly patterned cases for it in thrift stores or online. And if you have spent time and money making your home beautiful, it’s only natural to want a dog bed which complements your interiors rather than clashing with them. Especially if you have a big dog, who needs a big bed!

That said, it probably is a bit crazy to choose a dog bed which is all style and no substance. First and foremost, the place our pooches sleep needs to be comfortable. For more heavy set breeds, like Labs, that often means having a thick mattress or elevated mesh base to support their weight. For older dogs, a beautifully designed bed needs to be easy to get in and out of, as well as easy on the eye. And of course, you’ll need to be able to keep it clean! All of the aesthetic dog beds I’ve picked to showcase here are practical and functional, as well as visually pleasing.

Majestic Pet striped dog bed

Aesthetic: Hamptons beach house

When my friend Clare bought a bed like this for her Vizsla and put it in the lounge, she kept finding her human guests sprawled out on it instead! It’s stylish, inviting, comfortable to crash out on, and besides a very discreet label, nothing about it really says ‘I am supposed to be a dog bed’. But it’s still packed with dog-friendly features, including supportive fiberfill stuffing, washable covers made from outdoor-treated polyester, and heavy duty zips.

Carhartt duck dog bed

Aesthetic: Cabin in the woods

Carhartt workwear is famous for being comfortable and durable in equal measure. Their dog beds are made from washable ring-spun cotton canvas, and will blend seamlessly into any home which combines coziness with pared back simplicity and practicality. Choose from 3 sizes and 6 colorways, including classic Carhartt brown, and cases with warm sherpa fleece tops.

Tonbo small plush beds

Aesthetic: Kawaii

These aren’t for everybody, but if you love cute and playful interior design, you won’t be able to stop at buying just one of these. Besides avocados, choose from flowers, cookies, fruit, drinks, and many more designs. The whole thing can go in the wash, and previous purchasers report that they wash and dry well without shrinking, fading, or losing their shape. The only drawback is they’re only 24” across, so they’re best suited to small dogs, and puppies of larger breeds. But it’s not hard to imagine an adult Lab using one as a pillow!

Pawaii elevated dog bed

Aesthetic: Colorful contemporary

The size of your dog is no problem for this eye-catching dog bed. Available in three sizes, the largest can support a pet (or two) up to 110lbs! I love the juicy colors in the pattern, which will be easy to keep bright because it’s printed on heavyweight, wipeable, water-resistant oxford fabric.

GOODPPY floral print canvas dog bed

Aesthetic: Maximalist

Do you love saturated colors and bold patterns? Is more always more when you’re shopping for soft furnishings? Then look no further than this stunning bed – it even comes with a coordinating pillow! The designers didn’t lose sight of their canine customer though – the deep walls of this bed resemble calming beds for anxious dogs, and the covers can be removed for washing.

Laifug faux fur dog bed

Aesthetic: Hygge

If your aesthetic is luxurious and inviting, then this stylish dog bed will channel the same warmth and coziness as the rest of your home. Underneath the deep faux fur top is a memory foam mattress to keep any size of dog comfortable. It has pragmatic touches too – the case is washable, the underside is non-slip, and the inner liner is waterproof.

Made To Roam lunar bed

Aesthetic: Modern adventurer

Modern adventurer aesthetic dog beds combine stylish design with impeccable outdoor credentials. The focus is on premium materials and high-end looks, so this bed is made with thick, dirt-resistant fabric, faux leather handles, and shredded memory foam stuffing. Choose between two sizes and two colors: dark blue and sage green.

Christopher Knight ‘Elvis’ pet bed

Aesthetic: Industrial loft

Christopher Knight are so pleased with the appearance of this dog bed they even suggest that it might be ‘too opulent for a mere animal’. Big words, but we can see why! The iron frame is chic and built to last (and be warned, heavy too!). The mattress is piped at the edges and even button tufted in four places. Previous buyers recommend purchasing caps for the feet, to prevent them scratching your floors.

African woven dog basket

Aesthetic: Bohemian

These beautifully made dog baskets are handwoven from natural and sustainable elephant grass. Due to the nature of their construction, each one is unique. You’ll need to add some padding and perhaps a blanket yourself, and the end result will be rustic, charming, bohemian and lovely. I think almost any interior would be enhanced by the addition of one of these!

These gorgeous dog bed covers are available to complement a range of styles, from Scandi neutral, through bright and bold, all the way to cottagecore. The manufacturers claim the fabric is based on high-performance sportswear, in order to be dig-proof.

Ecoflex dog bed and nightstand

Aesthetic: Disguised

Finally, for some people aesthetic dog beds don’t just blend in with the decor. They are completely camouflaged! To cater to this market, there are lots of examples of furniture such as end tables incorporating dog crates. But, there are relatively few examples of furniture with a built in open bed. This nightstand is an exception. Made from recycled materials and thoughtfully designed, I dare say the dog bed underneath isn’t even the second or third thing you’d notice about it, let alone the first.
