Even as a proud (very, very proud) dog mom, I didn't have dog art on my trending interiors bingo card for 2025. But boy, am I glad we're here.

I've been quietly collecting vintage dog prints from thrift stores and flea markets for years, drawn to their character and charm. So when I saw that designer Shea McGee had included a sweet Pointer pup portrait in her new Fall collection at Target, I felt totally seen. And now I am seeing this adorable style of artwork everywhere, Anthropologie just did a whole collection too!

Taking to Instagram this week, Shea shared a playful video showing off her latest canine design. 'How cute is this little dog artwork? I love it so much,' she gushed. Little did she know, she was speaking something (or someone) into existence with this new product drop...

'This is the only dog I'll have in my home,' she jokes in the video, later revealing the real-life puppy they have just welcomed into their family. 'I once said the only dog I’d ever have in my home was the one in our new Target collection... and then came Gigi,' reads the caption. Gigi, in case you're wondering, is the McGee family's adorable new Cavapoo.

And while we can't all start manifesting puppies into existence via wall decor ideas, we can certainly join Shea in this oh-so-cute trend. The best part is, it feels super stylish too.

Dog art, especially when it’s in a vintage style, adds humor and heart without compromising on sophistication. Whether it’s a stately oil painting of a Labrador or a cheeky little pug in a baroque frame, these pieces have a way of drawing you in and making you smile.
