Dog Room Design
DORSET
Blending craftsmanship with practicality, this bespoke dog room design for a 16th Century Jacobean farmhouse in rural Dorset, is a dedicated space next to the bespoke kitchen and informal dining room.
Created for a family with three large working dogs (a pair of Labradors and a German Pointer) it combines thoughtful design with the warmth and authenticity of traditional estate cabinetry, the perfect example of a luxury dog room.
The dog room design was approached with the same care and craftsmanship as every other room in the house. The dogs form an important part of the household.

Bespoke Dog Room Design
Every element of this unique space was made to feel as though it had always been part of the house; a dedicated room to suit both the dogs’ needs and to work in harmony with the architectural heritage of their Jacobean home.
The bespoke cabinetry, designed, made and prematurely aged in our Wiltshire workshop, echoes the warmth and authenticity of traditional estate joinery. The cabinetry is finished in Guild Anderson’s bespoke oak finish.
Below the worktop open sections provide generous spaces for each dog’s bed, while maintaining a sense of proportion and symmetry.
Every detail, from finish to fixture, was chosen to create a dog room that feels calm, functional, and utterly in keeping with the rhythm of rural family life.
A Luxury Dog Room Designed For Rural Life
At one end, a double cupboard conceals lidded bins for dog food, ensuring daily feeding routines are as practical as they are beautiful.
The antiqued Nero Zimbabwe granite worktops, with their softly rounded bullnose edges, bring practicality, durability and refinement, while the Optimum Brasses hardware in a traditional brass finish complements the aged oak perfectly.
Warmth was another key consideration. Multiple radiators keep the room dry and comfortable, essential for drying any muddy wet paws returning from long walks in the Dorset countryside.
The result is a luxuriously designed bespoke dog room that embodies the Guild Anderson ethos, crafted to belong, designed to endure. Built for the working life of the home, and for the loyal companions who are very much part of the family.
