I’m a design editor and also a proud dog owner, so when these two topics merge, I get very excited. After our digital director came back from trade shows noting the increase in designer dog beds hitting the market, I had to investigate this recent development.
Now, luxury fashion houses have been offering logo-fied dog beds for decades, but lately there’s been an influx of design-forward pieces from home brands leaning into craftsmanship and aesthetics. The dog bed is simply another furniture piece in your home that signals your impeccable taste and style.
“Pets play an integral role in how we live day in and day out, which is why our homes are designed to accommodate every member of the family, including our furry friends,” says Gaelle Dudley, founder and principal designer of GLDESIGN. “Gone are the days of flat, beige dog beds covered in pet hair. Today’s options are thoughtfully designed to blend seamlessly into a home’s aesthetic. From mod leather to gingham rattan, there is a bed (dare I say furniture?) for every size and breed.”
I’ve personally invested in a luxury dog bed from Thuma for Willow because I didn’t want it to distract from my curated living space—and I have no regrets doing so. When someone sees my apartment for the first time, they always comment on how fancy it looks, and I just beam with pride (I like to be validated for my expensive purchases, OK!?).

“[The rise in design-forward dog beds] isn’t a trend as much as a pivot in how we live,” Dudley adds, emphasizing how owners want to give their pets the best life possible, down to their accessories. “Dog bed selections are now much more elevated. It’s no longer a ‘hide the dog bed out of the photo’ philosophy, rather an ‘aww look how cute that dog bed is.’ Our pets are now part of the story and are no longer an afterthought.”
With this in mind, if you’re a dog lover looking for a stylish bed that’ll blend seamlessly into your space, check out some very fancy picks ahead.
Love the Ralph Lauren aesthetic? You’ll want their dog bed. Available in two sizes, this piece is crafted from 100 percent nylon (spot-clean only, please) and features the label’s signature embroidered Pony logo on the front.
A fancy sofa meets a bed for the fanciest dog in the world. The curved silhouette encloses your pooch, so they feel safe while sleeping or observing family functions from afar, while the cushioned seating gives them a soft and supportive feel.
Made in France, this dog bed from Louis Vuitton is a worthy splurge if your pet is your life. The details echo the luxury house’s iconic trunks—think gold-tone hardware, a monogram-coated canvas, handles on each side, and cowhide leather trims. The cushion on the inside is removable and can be dry-cleaned as needed.
If you didn’t tell me this was a dog bed, I’d think it was an elevated, cushiony chair for toddlers. The removable nylon cover and removable cushion are made from water-repellent nylon featuring the luxury house’s iconic GG logo, which merges design with function. This will help the piece weather any post-bath zoomies. Another detail I love? Instead of scratchy fabric tags and labels, this dog bed has a leather label stitched on.
If you’re a fan of Thuma’s beds and want the same joinery technique and minimalist feel for your dog’s bed, get this one. It comes in three sizes, four finishes, and two fabrics.
I was looking for a pretty dog bed to place under our stairs, so I got the espresso-dune option from Thuma. The quality is superb, and the removable cover is machine washable, which is perfect because my dog walks all over the city and she sheds a lot. I put a towel on top of the cushion to extend the cover’s life, since Willow likes to occasionally nest and paw at her bed before settling down for a nap.
Compared to some of the other beds on our list, this Giorgio Armani feels more understated, but make no mistake: the materials used to craft this bed are luxe. It’s made of 99 percent virgin wool with a pinstriped design inspired by classic tailoring, as the house is known for. The wool offers a warm place for your dog to lie, and when it’s time to wash this bed, simply remove the cover for easy laundering.
With a name like Kensington, this deep brown leather bed is certainly fit for the royal dog of your home. It comes in six different designs, though I love the classic Boathouse Ticking stripe, which the brand says is meant to “evoke seaside resorts and charming English country cottages.”
Dog beds aren’t just made from wood and nylon; they can be crafted from rattan too. If you prefer the coastal look or cottage charm for your home, this piece will fit right in. It’s ethically handcrafted by independent artisans in North India. I suggest adding a towel or custom cushion on top for padding.
Humans have daybeds, so why not dogs? For a piece that breaks from the typical bedroom mold, grab this 2.8 Design for Dogs wool daybed. The inner mattress has a layer of memory foam, which is very comfy, and the roller cushion is adjustable so you can move it up or down depending on where your dog likes it. If you have two small buddies, get the larger size and move the roller to the middle; that way, they each get a side to sleep and rest their head on.
Dogguo, founded by Veerle Schuyt and Jet Raven in the Netherlands, has been on my radar for a long time, as the brand believes in making fashion-forward, colorful dog beds that are designed to match your home’s interiors. Truly, the sofa throw pillows they offer come in the same fabric and pattern as the beds!
This is the regal bed that could make your dog go viral on TikTok and launch their career as an influencer. The ornate energy comes from Versace’s iconic Baroque print, which may not speak to all pet owners, but if you happen to love it, it’s yours for a mere $950.
You may not be able to get your hands on a Kelly or Birkin right away, but you can still satisfy your shopping urge by picking up a little something-something for your beloved pet. This leather bed is made from “taurillon H leather” (a specialized, high-end bullhide leather produced by the brand) and has an anti-scratch and water-resistant finish. The cover is removable if you need to spot clean it, though if you have a particularly rambunctious doggo, you’ll want to throw a blanket over the bed to preserve the leather long-term.
In case you weren’t aware, Moon Boots makes dog beds, and this is one of the cutest options I’ve seen yet! The design echoes the footwear’s futuristic snow boots and looks just as cushioned as the shoes. I can easily picture this dog bed in a ski chalet or upstate cabin come winter.
