7. DIY DOG CRATE SIDE TABLE
Not all dogs beds are created for their aesthetics as there are some cases when dogs have to learn to sleep or stay in certain conditions. Dogs often need to spend time in crates whilst travelling, at the vets or staying in kennels. This crate is easily hidden by a curtain and is a stress-free way of ensuring they are happy and comfortable in any situation.

8. MODERN DIY DOG BED
This bed is the perfect puppy perch from which to lounge about in the day on and sleep at night. Kate from Centsational Girl has chosen to use outside as a day bed for her dachshund but it works equally well inside. We love the stripey vibe and think it would look fabulous in any colour combination!
