Why Have a Basic Doggy Door When You Can Wow Your Guests With a Custom Design?

If you have a doggie door and are tired of the common look in your home, then continue reading this article. The most common reason people get doggie doors is for the freedom and convenience it brings their dog when they need to go outside. It’s especially helpful when the owner works during the day and doesn’t want to crate their animal, also allowing them to get their playful energy out before you arrive home. Thus, most who enjoy this convenience have a simple door bought from the manufacturer. Almost all the time when we see amazing looking pet spaces, they are normally comprised by a designer on television. Either this, or the space is created by someone who took a lot of time out of their schedules to build and decorate the posh dog sanctuaries. However, to make something cute for your dog, you don’t always have to dedicate an entire room to your furry friends.

That being said, if you have a doggie door and don’t have a lot of time available you can designate to crafting, there are a lot of adorable and easy ways to get the job done. One design option includes simply buying a chalkboard and write your pets name in the desired font. You can then hang it up above the little door and you have a cute little personalized decoration for your pup. Another option is building a smaller version of a regular door you would see on your own home and there are so many different designs to choose from if you’re wanting to go this route. Some popular renditions are victorian, modern, and even a hotel style entry. Additionally, adding stylish floor mats, small (pet safe) plants, and décor suitable to your style will really add to the preferred aesthetic you may be trying to achieve. If you’re not sure where to start your DIY process, head over to Pinterest where you can find literally any design option under the sun. There are many cute design ideas with specific directions telling how to achieve your coveted look. DIY stores such as your local Hobby Lobby and Lowes carry decorations and supplies needed to build and decorate your new and improved doggy door.

Now that you’ve read thus far and still don’t know if you’re someone who can fit these DIY’s into your schedule, there are business out there who will customize your dog door for you. While it’s hassle free for the customer, the cost ranges from anywhere to over $200. However, if you do decide to go this route websites like Etsy have some great options. Overall, whether you’ve decided to take on a DIY or to forego the project altogether, remember to have fun decorating your pet’s door. There are too many options out there not to have a perfect customized design for you and your pet. So, keep pinning to your board and scrolling through customized websites until you’re satisfied with the product you will be purchasing.
