Your dog bed doesn't need to be hidden behind the sofa. In this lookbook, we share how to choose designer dog beds that double as furniture, from soft teddy textures and considered neutrals to structured silhouettes that read as a design piece. Discover how to style, place and layer a luxury dog bed so it suits your interior, and gives your dog a spot they'll never want to leave.
Your home has been planned down to the last cushion, so why settle for a dog bed that looks like it came from the pet aisle? A well-chosen dog bed can sit in your living room as naturally as an armchair, and your dog gets a spot that feels like theirs.
Here's how we style our beds so they look like part of the room.
Designer dog beds that suit your interior
The quickest way to make a dog bed look like furniture is to choose a fabric that belongs in your home. Our beds are made in premium teddy fabric, the same soft, deep-piled texture you'd find on a boucle accent chair or a statement throw. It softens hard floors and clean lines, and it pairs beautifully with timber, linen and wool.
Pick a neutral that works with your palette
Oatmeal is our lightest shade and the easiest to style. It suits Scandi, coastal and minimalist interiors, and brightens a darker floor. Chestnut brings warmth to earthy, mid-century and Japandi-inspired spaces, especially alongside walnut, leather and terracotta. Olive is the deeper option, a natural match for green-toned rooms, indoor plants and moody, layered interiors.
Let the shape do the work
A structured silhouette is what separates a dog bed from a pile of cushions. Our signature braided surround gives each bed a defined, sculptural edge that reads as a design piece, not a pet product. It also doubles as a raised rest for your dog's head, which is why so many dogs sleep with their chin propped on the side.
Place it like furniture
Treat the bed as part of the room layout. Tuck it beside the sofa where an ottoman or side table might go, set it near a window for afternoon sun, or anchor it on a rug to create a defined zone. Choose the right size too: Medium (70cm) sits neatly in smaller spaces, while Large (100cm) holds its own in an open-plan living area.
Layer it up
Finish the look with a matching teddy blanket folded across the bed or over the arm of a nearby chair. It ties the bed to the rest of the room and gives your dog something extra to burrow into on cooler nights.
Beautiful, but still practical
Style shouldn't come at the cost of daily life with a dog. Every Hersh Bed has a removable, machine washable cover, a waterproof liner and a non-slip base that keeps it in place on floorboards and tiles, so it stays looking good in a real, lived-in home.
A bed that belongs in your home
Dog owners across Australia are choosing beds that look good in their living rooms, and their dogs are refusing to leave them. As one Victorian customer told us, their pups simply won't get out of theirs.
