The Year of the Dog: top 10 PAWsome pup-themed homeware
The 2018 Chinese New Year starts this Friday! And it just so happens that 2018's animal of the year is our favourite critter: the dog!
Symbols of loyalty, happiness and honesty, we love everything about our canine companions - especially our office mascot, Waldo the pug!
If you love dogs as much as we do, then why not add some characterful pup-themed homeware to your pad? You'd be barking mad not to! We've picked our top 10 below!
1. Papa Peropon Drinking Animal Planter - Dog, £28

2. Evermade Zoo Portrait Cushion - Pug, £32
This cute pug art print pillow shows a youthful, awkward pup trying to be trendy with a mix of formal and casual attire! Trucker cap with suit and bowtie? Nice try Mr. Pug!

6. Really Long Sausage Dog Bookends, £15

8. Evermade Zoo Portrait Framed Print - Maltese Dog, £89
This unique animal art gives this pawsome pooch a human twist; turning your walls into a major talking point! However this rather low-key flat cap and overcoat makeover reflects artist Yago Partal’s sense of irony, given that Maltese pups are often found wearing bright pink bows in their hair!

This playful night light from Bitten Design is one home accessory which won’t go down like a lead balloon!
10. Evermade Zoo Portrait Cushion - Border Collie, £32
Another adorable addition to Yago Partal’s Zoo Portrait collection, this particular design features an adorable Border Collie puppy, who’s trying hard to disguise his sheep-herding role by sporting a posh plaid waistcoat and matching bowtie.
