Dog Inspired Art for Your Home

If you are a Pet Parent like myself, it’s likely that you want to include your dog, and possibly animals in general, in the theme and decor of your home.

Currently, we are renovating our first house, and I am trying to find ways to add subtle hints of dog and animal-themed art and decor to our home. It would be dogs only, but let’s be real, we love animals and I’m excited to showcase that in our home.

As we approach this renovation, I have my eyes on a lot of really beautiful dog inspired art pieces that I think will complement the overall theme of our home. My goal is to ultimately have a nice mix and collection of art pieces that my husband and I love, that also fit into the theme of our home; traditional, urban, and cozy. I know that seems like a lot of words that don’t fit together, but our house is a small craftsman so we try to keep clean lines, and we live in the Bay Area which naturally lends to more urban styles with wood accents, but I also love blankets.

While searching for the perfect art pieces for our bedroom, which was the first on the list to get an update, I came across so many dog inspired art pieces that I want share with our readers. I split them into categories that I made up based on the actual art descriptions. I wasn’t specific about color or dog breed, I was simply looking for art that would subtly add whimsy to our home. Enjoy!

Our Room

We’ve made the most decor progress in our bedroom. So far, we have painted 1.5 walls (there is a half wall in our bedroom leading up to the window) a dark green that really makes our house feel a little more cozy. I’m afraid to think about how many Rooney hairs have been painted into those walls.

On one of the opposing walls, we are looking to add some art that complements the colors already dominating the room, which includes a deep blue green wall, gray bedding, and black lamps with brass accents.

 

Truth time: I painted our walls two weeks ago, and at least 100 Rooney hairs are stuck in that paint 😂 #DogHairEverywhere

My favorite of the 3 above is #1. I like that the dog’s fur also encompasses a forest, which complements the paint color.

I like #2 because it is so subtle and neutral, making it a great larger piece in the gallery wall. Lastly, #3 I was drawn to because it’s so hard to capture a black dog against a black background, and this artist captured this dog so beautifully. I would love to add this piece as a small additional to a gallery wall, and an ode to beautiful black senior dogs.
