House Digest says pet decor should be chosen like other home accents, with portraits and personalized pieces suited to a room’s style and colors. Suggestions include formal paintings, coordinated pillows and keepsakes such as dishes or paw prints.
Formal oil portraits are presented as a refined option; the article says they often cost $1,000 to $5,000, with price depending on the work’s size and the artist’s skill. For pillows, it recommends using the pet’s image in a color already present in the room; bolder styles can change the animal’s color while retaining its likeness.
The article also suggests placing pet art in rooms devoted to an owner’s hobby: a horse portrait among equestrian items, or a hunter-and-dog portrait in a hunting-themed den. For themed home bars, possible accents include pet-printed napkins, matchbooks and glasses, or a hand-painted stool bearing the animal’s face.
