Happy dog, happy home. Don’t forget about Fido when designing the interior of your home—after all, they spend more time laying around in it than you do… 😂 There are a lot of pet-friendly things that you can incorporate into your to make both your pup’s and your life easier. Keep reading for some inspiration!
Built-in Dog Bowl Area—With Water Spout!
Instead of putting your dog’s food and water bowls in a corner somewhere (where, inevitably, water and food will get spilled everywhere), give your pooch his/her own food and water nook within your kitchen island. This one even has its own water spout for easy refilling! Now how’s that for royal treatment?!
Dog Food-Storing Bin

Here’s another easy way to get your doggo their food every day. Create a built-in storage bin for their food (preferably right next to their food bowl!) so it’s easily accessible come breakfast and dinner time. Just make sure the bin closes properly and your dog can’t get into it!
Dog Bed Alcove

A throne fit for any good boy or girl, a dog bed alcove is perfect for putting into a nook or cranny of your home, like under the shelves of this built-in shelving unit. We’ve also seen them under kitchen cabinets and under the stairs (Harry Potter, anyone?).
Kennel-Meets-Furniture

Dog kennels can be a real eyesore, but this custom one doubles as furniture—and looks super tasteful with a lamp and other interior decorations on it. Genius!
Drop Zone
Drop zones serve multiple purposes, including functioning as a storage area for your pet supplies. A drop zone is a great place to hide away dog toys and leashes, and Fido can even use it as a sunning perch while waiting for you to get back home!
