16 of the most stylish pet beds

Are you ready for cuteness overload with a round up of the most stylish pet beds?

Pets can wheedle their way into our hearts and become a huge part of the family. They have a starring role in the daily life in our homes, whether it’s greeting us with a wagging tail in the morning or curling up for a cuddle on the sofa in the evening. I really believe that our interiors should be designed for them in mind as well. Their resting place shouldn’t just be an after-thought, hastily bought but somewhat cramping the style of the rest of the space. A stylish pet bed should complement an interior and fit in with everything else in a room, so that they become an integral part of a happy home, and not something shoe-horned in the corner.

I take pride in my home and obsess over all the little details that make it feel cosy and inviting. Francis rules the roost and has us under his little paw, so of course I’m going to want to make sure he’s comfy too (dachshunds are also special little beings and creatures of comfort – he likes to sleep curled up under a blanket and won’t just sleep on the hard floor like a normal dog!). Anything I buy for him has to be functional, but it also has to look the part too. I get a lot of questions about his bed – the Divo pet bed by MiaCara (gifted in 2018). It echoes the style and tone of our sofa and fits in neatly by the radiator in the living room. It literally could have been made for the space.

There’s plenty of bright colours and cheesy patterns on the market but not actually many stylish pet beds that could fit in a minimalist home. What if you want something that’s simple, neutral and well-designed?

Here I’ve put together a curated edit of 16 of the most stylish pet beds for minimalist, design-conscious interiors. There’s a variety of styles and shapes for both feline friends and canine companions, whether they like to nest and burrow in a cosy cocoon or sprawl out on soft surface. With grey tones and streamlined finishes, they’re all guaranteed to add a stylish touch to any home.
