Drool-Worthy Digs Designed Especially for Dogs

No need for a trip to the kennel. Constructed by Washington, D.C.-based Four Brothers Carpentry, this built-in dog kennel and spa is located in a spacious mudroom that includes the family’s laundry facilities. Two comfy cages hold large dogs, while a bottom drawer reveals a hide-a-way bed for a tiny pooch.

What once was an underwhelming, lackluster mudroom was transformed by design deity Joanna Gaines. The result? A total pooch's paradise! JoJo outfitted the room with a canine-sized shower, lined with classic, white subway tiles. For a final charming touch, she used newspaper wallpaper to line the walls.

HGTV designer Vern Yip gave HGTV Magazine a peek inside his dogs' room. Four plush beds line the walls, which feature playtime action shots in black and white. Above the photographs, Yip uses orange paint to pose the question, "Why wag a little when you can... WAG-A-LOT?"

Vern Yip's dog-room includes plenty of tennis balls and chic treat storage via glass canisters. The deep sink comes in hand for the occasional (inescapable!) muddy-paw-moments. Courtesy of HGTV Magazine
