Delightful Doggie Decor

Hi. I’m Joanna, a writer for Design Shuffle, an online portal for interior designers to share their portfolios of beautiful homes and work spaces. I search the web daily for the most beautiful interior design ideas and share them on blogs such as this one. Thank you to A Vintage Touch for allowing me to share today. The doggies pictured here are pampered by their owners with cushy digs around the house. From built-in dog boxes to plump dog beds, these pups have it made. How do you pamper your own dog?
 These two pooches are sitting pretty in ornately carved antique chairs with modern dog bowls at the ready.
 This regal pup looks chic and sophisticated on its decadent velvet covered dog bed. A bed such as this one blends well with the rest of the furnishings in the room.
 A turquoise acrylic daybed and bowl is the perfect style for the modern dog in this modern bedroom design.
 From its own drawer, a precious pug guards her owner's sacred shoe collection from other looting hounds.
 A plush dressing room provides the perfect setting for this frou frou little poodle and owner to primp and play. How about this space for inspiring lots of decorating ideas?
 Built-in dog boxes offer these hounds an out of the way play to spend the day napping and relaxing.
 A portrait of a hunting dog looks lovely hung with hunting scenes and landscapes. The rich green on the walls provides the perfect backdrop for these framed pieces.
 Looking for kitchen design ideas with a delightful doggie point of view? You can tell this canine companion was in on the design planning process. He gets his own spot in the kitchen built into the island with a comfy cushion. Images1|2|3|4|5|6|7| 8 Can't get enough of the various interior design styles out there?
