However, no one said it has to be this way. In this list of dual-purpose home furniture, you’ll find beds, crates, gates and more. All of these don’t just work functionally for your pet, they also add style and luxury to your home through classy designs and high-quality craftsmanship.

2. Design Imports Oakley Pet Toy Basket
