Ever gone shopping for a specific product only to find that every option on the market is just plain ugly? In our series Not Hideous, we suss out the best high-performance buys that aren’t total eyesores. Function, meet form.
One of the first things pet owners do when they get a new puppy is decide what kind of products they want to invest in for both their pup and home , as well as whether they will crate train them or not. Depending on your dog’s breed and your household’s needs, crating a dog could be beneficial . It helps to prevent accidents, keeps them safe while you’re out and about and gives them a cozy place to relax that is all their own. That said, design-wise, most standard dog crates leave little to be desired — that’s why it’s downright thrilling when something as simple as a dog crate is aesthetically pleasing.
Crates are generally sizable, making them not-insignificant additions to a room. So why not pick one that enhances the overall design, and maybe even does double duty as a side table? Below, I’ve rounded up shockingly stylish crates from both small designers on Etsy and larger pet brands. They range from modern to rustic at a variety of price points and are guaranteed to look as good as they make your sweet pup feel.
