For design lovers who also love their dogs, these elevated decor ideas strike the perfect balance between personality and polish.
Any dog owner knows that Fido isn’t merely a pet; they’re a four-legged family member. While photographs are a straightforward way to celebrate family and pets in your home, there are a myriad of additional dog decor ideas to infuse their essence into every corner of your home.
When it comes to honoring a dog in home decor, you want to celebrate your furry friend in a creative, tasteful way, rather than with accents that feel tacky. Thankfully, we did the hard work for you and found the best dog themed decor that’ll enhance your space.
1. Bucolic Dog-Motif Wallpaper
If you want to curate an elevated-hunting-lodge vibe for your home office or den, one option is to use this pet print wallpaper as a base. The charming dog motifs bring cheer and whimsy while the soothing green tones imbue the wallcovering with a refined, soothing feel.
2. Chic Dog Brass Bath Hook
Finishings, like wall hooks and drawer pulls, are spots to get creative and let your personality show. Eschew plain bath hooks in favor of these canine-inspired ones for a powder room that feels fun and fresh.
3. Whimsical Dachshund Doorstop
If you’re wondering who let the dogs out, just ask this handsome figure stationed at the door. What better to pair with a brass dog hook than a coordinating decorative doorstop crafted to resemble a Dachshund?
4. Eclectic Throw Blanket with Illustrated Dogs
Gifting home decor to friends can be a risky maneuver. However, a throw blanket that shows off their penchant for four-legged creatures is a great option. Since throws can be taken out or stored away when needed, they’re a solid option if you want something quirky while still keeping your permanent decor more minimal.

Decorative candles fashioned to resemble everyday items are having a moment right now.

7. Dainty Dog Figurine Hinge Toppers
When it comes to striking a balance with festive pet decor that doesn’t lean too kitschy, sometimes a less-is-more approach is best. Take these hinge figurines, for example. Placing a trinket atop a few door hinges is a fun and understated way to accessorize your pet-friendly home. Plus, they’re the perfect way to surprise and delight guests visiting your home.
8. Sophisticated Shower Curtain with Blue-and-White Canine Toile Pattern
While 18th-century French Toile de Jouy patterns, often just called toile, typically feature botanical or pastoral scenes, some also showcase assorted animals. Since toile patterns are inherently busy, many iterations involve a menagerie of motifs that would look gaudy on their own, but flow nicely together when part of a complex pattern.

9. Floral Staffordshire Dog Figurines
Staffordshire dog figurines first gained popularity in the 19th century and often crop up at antique stores. While many vintage versions of their figurines were created with bold colorways that can be difficult to style, these modern floral reproductions showcase a softer palette. The ceramics are hand-painted in subtle shades of blue, yellow, and green that would fit right in on a mantel, bookshelf, or entryway table.
