People never used to get elaborate when it came to beds for dogs. Either the dog slept on the bed with them, or it had its own mat or a rug somewhere on the floor. Nothing too fancy. But for many dog owners, those days are long gone. Now, most dogs aren’t just assigned a rug or mat that was already in the house, but sleep on a bed that was bought specifically as a pet bed. And some of the pet beds out there go beyond a simple design and step into the realm of cool. Here are some cool dog bed ideas you might be interested in getting for your pooch.
If you’re thinking of luxurious dog beds, then there’s nothing more luxurious than a canopy bed, for humans or for dogs. The Horchow Collection of fine furniture and luxury linens doesn’t cater only to human patrons, but also sells a canopy bed for their dogs. It’s crafted by hand with a metal frame, the four corners rising to curve over the bed, adorned with brushed metal roses. These are, as the website describes, “hand painted in a Caribbean gold finish.” Of the various cool dog beds that are available, this one is expensive, but it truly is a work of art.
But taking a more formal route in a cool dog bed, one very interesting type is the Murphy bed. This is the sort of bed that folds up against a wall in the daytime, displaying only a smooth wooden cabinet, but then lowers the hidden mattress and bedding to the floor at night. This type of dog bed furniture can be both utilitarian and decorative. It saves space in the daytime, but can also be designed to match the other furniture in the room. It becomes an actual part of the decor.
The thing about this type of cool dog bed is that there is often an element of fun in the choice. Why else would you find beds in the shape of cars, tents, gazebos, spaceships or elegant divans? Gone are the days when a simple dog crate bed was good enough, even if a bit boring. Now people are looking for some style, a bit of pizzazz, to go along with the usefulness of the dog bed. Some of these unusual types of beds are just the thing to add that spice.
