Ding Dong, The Ugly Pet Bowl Is Dead
The bowl, the bed and the basket are getting the same design attention as the vase, the lamp and the coffee table books.
The pet bowl used to be the thing you kicked under the kitchen units before guests arrived. The dog's bed was moved out of the living room and the cat's toys were shoved under the stairs.
Not any more.
From pet nooks to designer beds, pet owners are proudly curating these things into their homes, making pet ownership part of the identity of the space rather than something to design around.
Pet things are now chosen for material and finish, in colours picked to work with the rest of the room. The category has widened, too, beyond the hard-working essentials.
THE BOWL
The bowl is a necessity, but there's no good reason for it to be the ugliest thing in the room.
THE BED
If something is going to live in your home every day, you should want to look at it.
THE WALL
The bowl is a necessity; putting the dog on the wall is a declaration.
