Pet Accessories For The Design-Conscious Pet Owner

Designed by William Morris in 1887, Willow Boughs is the perfect expression of a love of nature and the countryside. Patterned fabric is always more forgiving of scratches and dirt and this has an anti-slip base for pets who favour a run and a jump into bed…

You can’t beat Emma Bridgewater’s personalised pottery. Have this sweet polka dot bowl decorated by hand with your pet’s name.

A hefty seagrass storage basket designed to sit low to the floor to allow curious noses to pick out the right toys for playtime.

This luxuriously padded bed has all the markers of a Barbour icon – a waxed cotton outer and tartan inner for dogs who love the countryside.

Pet blankets are invariably printed with illustrations of paws or bones that might feel too twee for your tastes. Something a bit more classic like this hypoallergenic, organic cotton throw with a lovely trim of blue doesn’t even look designed for pets.

Charley Chau designs their day beds much like a sofa – the resilient velvety velour is more often found upholstering cushions, and it is filled like a sofa seat to stay soft and supportive over time. What all pets deserve.

You often need help corralling curious puppies or keeping older dogs away from slippery floors or steep stairs. This sturdy wooden gate from Lords & Labradors can be used in doorways, hallways and stairways, and it doesn’t detract from the design of your home.

Not all dog beds have to be in muddy shades of brown or grey – this bright floral makes nap times suitably cheerful.

You may need help in steering your cat’s attention away from your sofa or carpets, and a scratching post makes for an excellent distraction. Crafted from solid wood with a textured sisal ball, it’s understated and small enough to tuck into a discreet corner.

When HAY entered the world of pet accessories, we knew the collection would be colourful and covetable in equal measure. This hardy rope toy has been made from 100% recycled polyester.

Plastic packaging is rarely welcome in country kitchens, so you can decant dried pet food into this handy tin from Sophie Allport with matching measuring scoop.

Loaf are the purveyors of sink-in squidgy sofas, and their first dog bed has all the markers of a classic Loaf piece. Covers are extra durable and fully removable to make washing a doddle.

The treat jar is an essential, but it needn’t stand out from the rest of your kitchenware. This dishwasher safe, olive green enamel storage jar from Toast is perfect for stashing biscuits.

Litter trays are one of the least desirable aspects of cat ownership for the design-conscious pet parent. This wooden ‘washroom’ is a lovely and discreet solution.

One of Lord & Labrador’s bestsellers. The inner cushions are deeply filled, and its outer is made from a faux leather that is bleach cleanable, making it as practical as it is stylish.

Forgo all the plastic for a sweet set of four toys designed with snuffle pockets, squeakers and texture for enrichment.

Ideal for cats who seek a luxurious spot to lounge. This wall-mounted hammock is crafted from a simple wood with a soft fabric for your cat to sink into.
