Tile saying
A house isn’t a homewithout a dog
FamilyA clean floor is not the same as a good house. Dog owners never need this explained: the noise in the hallway and the hair on the sofa are the difference between an address and a home.
- Baked into the ceramic, not printed on top. Colourfast and waterproof.
- Arrived damaged? You get a free replacement.
Where this saying comes from
A modern homeware phrase built by negation — it takes the familiar house-versus-home distinction and makes one condition decisive. The same frame gets reused for cats, children and books, which shows how portable it is.
When to give it
For a new puppy, a rescue adoption, or the friend who talks about their dog more than their job. Also a considerate gift for someone who has just moved and is waiting for the house to feel occupied.
About this design
Delft flower corners and an open centre suit a line that runs long — the two lines need width more than they need a frame. The italic classic serif gives an everyday truth a slightly ceremonial delivery.
