Here at Carmen & Rafaele, we’re unabashedly obsessed with our furry companions, but who isn’t? Whether they’re curled up at our feet or knocking things off shelves with zero remorse, pets make a house feel like a home. Last week we celebrated National Pet Day, so we're here today to share our beautifully curated, animal-inspired products that are equally chic and charming. Just make sure you keep your vacuum handy if your dog sheds as much as mine!
A Bright Idea For Dog Lovers
Whimsical, classy and adorable, our Sausage Dog Table Lamp is a must-have for any dog lover with an eye for style. This dachshund is more than mere decoration, it's a statement piece that immediately brings character and fun to your space. Whether on a side table, lighting up a hallway, or tucked into your favourite reading spot, it adds a fun, doggy flair whilst still being undeniably elegant. Ideal for eclectic, rustic, or countryside decor that loves a touch of playfulness, this charming lamp is proof that puppy love and good taste can absolutely go hand-in-hand, or rather, paw-in-paw!
Paws With Purpose
Our Scottish Terrier and Maine Coon Cat doorstops bring a warm, whimsical touch to any space, each with their own irresistible personality. Both are perfectly weighted to keep doors gently in place, but it’s their cosy character and sweet, homely presence that really steals the show. Whether you’re team dog or cat (or both, like I am!), these little companions are a lovely way to add heart to your home.
Hooks With Heart
Want a sweet gesture to show love for your four-legged friend? Our Wagging Tail and Scottie Dog wall hooks are the ideal combination of functionality and charm. From holding leads and keys to your favourite dog-walking coat, our durable wall hooks bring a stylish and useful touch to your entryway or utility room. Their cast-iron finish offers a warm, lived-in look that reads perfectly with farmhouse, or rustic industrial decor, think natural textures, soft linens, and a neutral colour palette for maximum countryside chic. From outfitting a country retreat to simply bringing character to your hallway, these tail-wagging hooks are a sweet way to celebrate your pup and keep things tidy.
A Purr-fect Welcome
First impressions are important, and what better way to greet visitors than with our lovable Black Cat Coir Door Mat? Made of durable natural coir with a non-slip backing, it's as practical as it is adorable, perfect for muddy boots and even muddier paws. This little addition adds personality and charm right at the door, and it's purr-fect way to tell visitors: this house belongs to a cat, we just happen to live here too!
We think your home should express the things and the ones you love most. Whether it's a doorstop that reminds you of your dog's steadfast company, a mischievous table lamp that puts a smile on your face, or a doormat that respects your feline overlord, pet-inspired design is all about personality, warmth, and whimsy. On this National Pet Day, make your house feel more like a home, one paw print at a time!
