Get inspired to make your home a happy place for everyone with these gorgeous animal-lovers' spaces from HGTV Magazine.
First off, family dog, Buster, knows how to get comfy — though it's not hard to relax in this charming corner. The spotted wall treatment (which gives major dalmatian vibes) was created using decals.

The Purr-fect Shade of Pink
Meesha, a lynx point cat, has claimed this guest room as her own, and it's easy to see why. The walls and ceiling painted dreamy mauve (Sulking Room Pink by Farrow & Ball) create a stunning jewel-box effect.

A Different Kind of Doggy Door
Dutch doors add instant charm to a home, like this one in Sabrina Soto's Los Angeles abode. They are also a super pet-friendly choice — just ask her dog, Harper. This stylish door makes it easy to let in fresh air, greet the mail carrier or pay for take-out without any furry friends making an escape.

Room for Two

A Wag-Worthy Entry
White paint on the walls and floor helps this entryway feel more spacious. Slim stools from Serena & Lily tucked under a floating shelf offer a place to perch near the front door, which is where the family’s vizsla, Quinto, likes to stand guard.

A Happy Laundry Room
Mint green cabinets, graphic yellow wallpaper and retro-style penny tile make this, “the happiest little room,” says homeowner Kathryn O'Neal-Dunham. The family’s rescue dog, Mellie, often ventures in for a treat from the jar on the counter.

A Grand Staircase
For his Florida beach house, Vern Yip hired his artist pal Michael Boudreault to paint a mural that spans three stories; it was inspired by The Great Wave by Japanese artist Hokusai. Vern's Great Pyrenees almost looks small in comparison.

This Kitchen Serves Up Style (and Treats)
When first-time homeowners Patrick and Katie Roetker moved in, the kitchen was completely bland. Green painted cabinets, patterned tile flooring and dashes of orange spiced it up. The couple's rescue dog, Ramona, is the official taste-tester at meal time.

A Cozy-Cool Nook
This under-the-stairs reading nook is anything but cramped — the bench seat fits a twin size mattress. Plenty of room for a pile of cool pillows and this tiny pup.

A Pup-Proof Entry
Porcelain tile in the entryway looks striking, and it stands up to kids and dogs (Rebel and Baxter, the family’s English cocker spaniels). The funky pendant light and the gold-tinged cork wall covering create a warm greeting, but nothing compares to a four-legged welcome committee.

Patterns Unleashed
This spot is spring-like year-round with its painted wall mural featuring sprawling florals and bird-motif pillows (the fabric is by Schumacher). Joining the pattern party: a buffalo-check print on the bench, also in blue and white. Hudson, a goldendoodle, is the cutest neutral.

A Pampered Pooch
With teal Otomi wallpaper by Hygge & West surrounding the tub, this room feels like a spa for homeowner and designer Shauna Glenn (for labradoodle Rooney, too).

A Fetching Atrium
Even cooler than a mudroom: an interior open-air courtyard. The midcentury-loving homeowners made it peaceful with a bed of river rocks, plenty of plants, Bertoia Diamond chairs and a hip rug. Their English bulldog, Mackenzie, is equally glad to chill here.

A Pastel Perch for Cat Naps
Minty greens in the wall paint (Pale Vista by Benjamin Moore) and Matouk bedding and gleaming silver geometric wallpaper bounce light around this soothing bedroom. The trio of windows are ideal spots for the family cat to birdwatch.

A Playful Pantry
One of the highlights of this bright and airy Florida kitchen: the nearly 5-foot-deep walk-in pantry. It provides plenty of space for storing cookbooks, a mother lode of after-school snacks and, of course, dog treats.

A Drool-Worthy Entry
A leafy color on the walls perks up this small entry space. Homeowner Brittany Kingery painted an old dresser mint (Pale Oak Grove by Valspar) and added a vintage clock for quirk: “I didn’t want the first space people see to feel formal,” she says. The rug, a Craigslist find, brings the cozy — and pooch, Jellybeans, approves.

Laundry Room Lovin'
A big family means lots of laundry. This functional space has two sets of stackable washers and dryers, a laundry chute and a deep Kohler sink. "I’m in heaven in this room!" says homeowner Stacey Hogan. She’s not the only one: Sadie, the boxer, loves to nap here on her dog bed.
