Pets are part of the family so it's no surprise that some owners are redesigning their homes with their furry friends at the forefront for the latest ‘Barkitecture’ trend.


The craze, which is surfacing on social media, is set to be one of the hottest interior trends of 2022. If you're a lover of all things interior or just want to make your fluffy friend feel as at home as possible, the team at tails.com has five ways you can incorporate the trend into your abode….

If you have an old cabinet with no purpose, transform it into a luxury day bed for your canine companion to rest in after a long walk. Make sure to remove any nails or sharp objects first, then add in soft comforts such as toys, cushions and blankets to put your dog at ease when they test out the space.



Create a space for them under the stairs

Transform your under-the-stairs storage space into a new room for your pet. It’s a great way to give your dog their own private area for relaxing in, while making the most of wasted space. You can deck it out like any other room by adding in a door, light and furnishing, or go for a stripped back look with their familiar favourites.



Make an at-home grooming parlour

Install a shower or wash station in your utility room or kitchen to wash down muddy paws after a walk. It will stop your pooch from destroying the house and making a mess of the bath.

Test out your carpentry skills by making your pooch their very own dog house. It will give your furry friend somewhere comfortable to rest while they enjoy the garden, and will also allow them some breathing space from house guests.



Transform an unused space into a dog room

If you’re lucky enough to have a spare room in the house, consider turning it into a bedroom for your dog. This will give them their own space to retreat to when they get tired and also gives you the chance to go crazy with doggy decor.


If you decide to give any of these ideas a go, I'd love to see your transformations. Send me your pictures on Facebook.
