Dog Kennel Nooks

Let’s start with a simple yet effective idea: the dog kennel nook. This under-stairs dog house design provides your canine companion with a quiet retreat away from the hustle and bustle of the household.

Depending on the size of your dog, you can customise the dimensions to ensure a snug fit. Furnish this space with a comfortable dog bed, perhaps one tailored to your dog’s specific breed, ensuring they have a cosy spot to relax and call their own.

Stylish Dog Crates

If you’re looking for a more modern and integrated approach, consider stylish built-in dog crates beneath the staircase.

These bespoke designs blend seamlessly into your home decor, providing both a secure space for your dog and an aesthetically pleasing addition to your living space. Choose materials and finishes that complement your existing interior design.

Multi-Purpose Dog Area

Designing the under-stairs area to serve multiple functions is an excellent way to maximise its utility. Incorporate storage for pet supplies, a comfortable dog bed, and even a kennel door that leads to an outdoor enclosure for when your dog wants to enjoy the fresh air. This multi-purpose approach ensures that every square inch of space is put to good use.

Dog Cage with a View

For dogs that love to keep an eye on the world outside, consider designing a dog cage under the stairs with a large entrance.

This not only provides entertainment and stimulation for your furry friend but also allows them to enjoy the view of the interior home or outdoors from the comfort of their own space.

Small Dog Paradise

If you have a small dog, like a Cockapoo or a Chihuahua, create a miniature indoor playground under the stairs.

Think of it as a doggy paradise with ramps, tunnels, and climbing structures to keep your petite pup entertained. Add a plush bed for them to rest after their playtime adventures.

DIY Dog Den

For those who enjoy hands-on projects, consider embarking on a DIY under-stairs dog house adventure. This allows you to tailor the design to your dog’s preferences and your own creative vision.

You can incorporate unique features such as windows, a small kennel door for easy access, or even personalized decor to make the space truly one-of-a-kind.

#7

Dog Gates for Separation

In households with multiple dogs or when you want to create designated areas, installing a dog gate under the stairs can be a practical solution. It not only offers a way to keep dogs separate when needed but also aids in training and containment. Opt for sturdy and adjustable dog gates that can accommodate various breeds and situations.

#8

Storage & Dog Bed Combo

Maximise the utility of the under-stairs space by combining storage and a dog bed. Install drawers or cabinets to keep pet supplies neatly organized. Consider adding shelves for toys, leashes, and grooming essentials. On top of this storage unit, place a comfortable dog bed, making it a multifunctional and efficient use of space.

#9

Secure Dog Den

Design an under-stairs dog den with higher walls to provide added privacy and cosiness. This setup will make your German Shepherd feel safe and secure.

#10

Ample Space

Larger breeds, such as Labrador Retrievers and Golden Retrievers, need ample space to stretch out and relax. Design a generous under-stairs dog room with a spacious dog bed, plenty of toys to keep them engaged, and even room for a water and food station.

#11

Customised Room

Craft a cosy room under the stairs for your Cockapoo, complete with a soft, cushioned bed. Ensure they have a clear view of the room, a comfort that many small dog breeds appreciate.

Dog House for Unique Breed Requirements
