Iron Dog Beds
One of the best looking places you can get for your dog to sleep are iron dog beds - essentially a wrought iron structure to hold the cushion in for the dog. These look much nicer to most people than a regular dog bed because they look a lot like something you'd just get for your house. They go really great next to a fireplace - it fits in well with the pokers and other metal things you've got up there. They look a lot like sleigh beds usually - upward curves on either end, with legs that hold your dog up off the floor so he's not sleeping in the cold. The best part about this kind of bed is that you can put pretty much any pillow you want on it - it helps a lot with trying to match the bed to your other furniture. Most other versions only come in one or two colors, and it's hard to find one that fits your scheme. With iron dog beds, you can just buy the frame and get another pillow somewhere else that will go with your stuff.

Iron Dog Beds
Besides the fireplace, another good place to put them is on either side of a couch or chair. It lets you sit there and still be able to reach over and pet your dog while he's sleeping next to you, and it looks like it goes there in most cases. Iron dog beds fit very well with a lot of different kinds of furniture - the color is usually black, which will pretty much go with anything as long as you get a pillow that does as well.
