Modern Christmas

Holiday Decor Ideas for Dog Lovers - Living room with white walls, black hutch, white chair and a cristmas tree. The hutch has presents wrapped in back and white with plaid ribbon. The chair has a red pillow. — The Yellow Cape Cod – on Houzz

Our first look at holiday decor ideas for dog lovers comes from Sarah Macklem at The Yellow Cape Cod. Sarah is the creator of this inviting Christmas scene (top and right pictures). To create the look she used the home’s black and white modern elements as a backdrop to design a fresh and inviting holiday room. In the top picture you can see the home’s Christmas tree, black hutch and white chair. By adding touches of red she adds a feeling of warmth to the room. The red pillow and white furry throw begs you to sit for awhile.

In the picture above we see that the family’s dog gets in on the design. He is relaxing on his black and white stripped dog bed while wearing a bright red sweater. He fits in perfectly with the black, white and red theme.

Christmas in England

Our next two Christmas designs come from across the pond. Susie Watson from Susie Watson Designs in Wiltshire, England not only designs beautiful rooms but also many of the textiles used in them. The soft rosy palette and whimsical design gets their clues from the English countryside.

Look closely at the above picture. Do you see the playful dogs on the Christmas sack? Or on the Christmas socking hanging by the fire? These home-made textiles add a touch of whimsy to the room.

The soft color palette is carried over into the bedroom. Here hand-embroidered Christmas textiles are used to make it extra special for visiting family and friends. We don’t want to forget our dog friends. A personalized raised dog bed is waiting for them at the foot of the bed.
