Having a dog at home is a great joy: they keep us company, give us affection and learn to live with us by matching our habits and schedules - and certainly there are occasions in which they make us laugh heartily. It is important to keep them with us during the day and night, and to ensure that they are comfortable at home. To do this it is essential to be able to allocate a space in our rooms to accommodate a small area where they can take refuge and rest during the day and night.

Kennels, or beds or sofas made to measure for our friends can also be built with as DIY projects, perhaps using the wood of pallets, or even using furniture parts for space-saving but elegant solutions, and again by recycling old wooden crates in good condition or even the drawers of some disused furniture. You can then equip them with pillows and blankets - to be washed frequently to avoid bad smells and ensure good hygiene in the home. Kept in good condition, these doggy objects can become part of the furniture of the home. Check out some of the ideas below:

Amongst the most popular projects to build are dog kennels that are made from pallets. Pallet wood is large, robust, sturdy and totally suitable for large or particularly excitable dogs!

With planks taken from old pallets, or other recycled wood, you can create real miniature beds for our four-legged friends.

Using pallet wood and similar, you can create models of any size you need, perhaps even large enough to accommodate two dogs. And then you can paint them any color you want. The important thing is to always sand them carefully in order to avoid that you or your pets get hurt by splinters.

Models made with natural wood and natural wood color, which can be obtained with suitable staining and varnishing agents, and are also very beautiful.

A great idea to take advantage of the corner of a room and find a space for a large and comfortable dog bed.

A truly comfortable bed - even for larger dogs.

For those animals on the smaller size, on the other hand, you can also use an old wooden box in good condition, such as those used to ship wines, books or fruit!

You can also use a fairly large drawer of some disused piece of furniture.

Your dog's personal area could also be elegantly incorporated into the furniture.
