16 Stunning Dog Room Ideas to Spoil Your Pup (2024)

Dog Room Nook

Give your pup a place to kick back by transforming a corner of your laundry room into a dog lounge. Swap out cabinet doors with custom-made slatted doors that turn a regular cabinet into a dog crate. Add a comfy cushion for lounging, decant some dog treats into pretty jars on the laundry room counter, and keep a stack of towels at hand for wiping off your pup’s muddy paws when they come in from the yard.

Dog Crate Side Table

Wire dog crates can be unsightly, and usually take up a lot of floor space. If you need to use this kind of crate, hide yours underneath a pretty cloth cover and use it as a side table. This one has a piece of wood placed on top of the crate, stained to go with the decor of the room. A dog crate that doubles as a side table is a great solution for small-space living, and it keeps your pet near you while he lounges or naps.

Dog Room Shower

Make it easier to bathe your dog by having a pet shower built into your mudroom. This one has subway tile on its low walls and a handheld sprayer so you can easily rinse off your dog. It has an elevated bottom, so you don’t have to bend so far to scrub your pup, but is low enough that your dog can step in by themselves.

Dog Crate Cabinets

Turn a butler's pantry cabinet into an extra-large dog crate. Here, wire mesh replaces the lower cabinet panels and a two cozy dog beds create an ideal spot for lounging. A feeding platform sits nearby. Store dog supplies in cabinets hanging overhead so your pup has all they need in one area.

Dog Feeding Station

Turn a kitchen cabinet into a feeding station for your dog. This one is made by removing the middle shelf from a book nook and adding a feeding platform that rolls back into the cabinet via a pair of side-mounted drawer slides when not in use. Store food and water bowls on the platform when not in use.

Repurposed Dog Furniture

Repurpose an old chest of drawers into a dog bed with storage. To make a piece similar to this, remove the bottom drawers to make room for a dog bed. Then, paint the piece a color that matches your home decor scheme, and put wallpaper on the inside of the chest. Wall hooks provide a place to store a dog’s leash and the coat you’ll wear when you walk together. Here, there’s also a matching feeding platform next to a basket for squeaky toy storage.

Dog Room Command Center

Keep your pet’s supplies and schedule in one convenient place with this wall-mounted command center. Look for organizing solutions made for humans and adapt them for pet use or make your command center. This one uses bulldog clips and pot-hanging hooks to hold treats, leashes, and grooming supplies.

Dog Crate Entry Table

If you're tight on space, or simply don't want to look at your dog crate all the time, build them a cozy sanctuary under an entry table. Place the crate—with plenty of cushions in it—under a large table and add a curtain to hide the crate and provide privacy. This will give your pup a cozy napping area where they can watch who comes and goes from your home.

Dog Room Ideas for Large Pups

If you're in need of an oversized dog bed, put a twin mattress on the floor, and cover it with throw pillows and washable fabric. It’s big enough for even the largest of dogs, or for multiple pups to lounge together. This one is made even better by the big picture window where your dog can spend hours looking out the window and lazing in the sun.

Dog Daybed

Make an elevated dog bed out of a rarely-used daybed. Put washable, removable fabric covers on a daybed cushion and add a bolster pillow and some throw pillows. The result is luxurious lounging spot that’s big enough for you to share with your dog.

DIY Dog Steps

Give your dog a path into your bed with this stylish pet step. To make it, cover a block of craft foam in washable, stain-resistant fabric in a cute pattern. Cut the fabric to fit the foam block, then wrap the fabric around the foam as if you were wrapping a gift box. Attach Velcro strips to the fabric with a hot glue gun so you unwrap the block and wash the fabric. Foam steps work for small dogs who weigh less than 20 pounds. For larger dogs, you'll need to make steps out of wood.

Dog Room with Cabinet Crate

Here’s another dog crate tucked into a stylish place. We replaced the front panel of a laundry room cabinet with a metal grate and tucked a dog bed into the cabinet. Add a framed photo of your pup to the counter on top of the cabinet to show this space belongs to them.

Laundry Dog Room Ideas

A space under a laundry room folding table provides a protected spot for a dog bed. Pet supplies can be stored in the cabinet next to the dog. The best feature here is the water faucet and a dog-height sink built into the cabinet to make it easy to provide fresh drinking water for your pooch. That’s a feeding bowl next to the little sink. The gorgeous wall tile and wood floors make the functional space pretty and easy to clean.

DIY Dog Gate

Don’t settle for a cheap, plastic dog gate that doesn't match your home's aesthetic. Instead, build an attractive, sturdy gate and mount it to a hinge. Here, the gate is finished to match the trim on the doors, giving a seamless look to the space. Paint the gate with an eggshell or satin finish to make it easy to clean.

Designated Dog Drawer

Keep dog supplies organized—but out of sight—by stashing supplies in drawers beneath a windowsill seat. Put a plastic bin of kibble in one drawer; put leashes, toys, and grooming supplies in another. Cover the seat cushions with stain-resistant fabric so you and your pup can sit together watching squirrels and passersby.

Dog Room Storage Ideas

Turn a bookcase into a pet supply tower and dog bed. Remove the lower shelves of a thrifted bookcase and add a cushion with a removable cover made of washable fabric so your dog has a spot to relax. Install hooks on the side of the shelf for hanging leashes in easy reach, and place jars of treats on top shelves along with grooming supplies. Paint the inside of the case a bright, cheerful color, add a washable rug, and hang dog-themed art on the wall.

Tip: Use satin finish paint on the bookcase interior so it’s easy to wipe off drool stains and dirt smudges.
