The Happily Ever chair is a great way to experience that togetherness with your pet. The seat is designed with room for two seats on the top (cushion for owner, no cushion for dog or owner) and a [small cubby hole on the bottom](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dog-hut-bed) (for the dog). Happily Ever establishes your dominance as the owner (being higher up than the dog) while still creating a [friendly and lovable environment](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pawstairs). Whether you’re just relaxing with your dog, or laying on the floor playing with him/her, Happily Ever is a great family endeavor. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.3/10 - Popularity: 16% | Activity: 15% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Pets](https://www.trendhunter.com/pets) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Pet-bonding Furniture:** Designing furniture that promotes pet-owner togetherness and bonding creates an opportunity for disruption in the home decor industry. - **Dual-purpose Pet Products:** Innovating products with dual purposes for both pet and owner, like the Happily Ever chair, is a trend that could lead to disruption in the pet products industry. - **Elevated Pet Seating:** Creating seating that elevates pets to join their owners on equal levels provides an opportunity for disruptive innovation in the pet furniture industry. ### Where This Applies - **Home Decor:** Home decor companies can incorporate pet-bonding furniture in their product offerings to tap into the growing demand for pet-friendly designs. - **Pet Products:** Innovating dual-purpose products that cater to both pet and owner needs in the pet products industry can create a disruptive market opportunity. - **Pet Furniture:** Designing elevated seating for pets and owners that promotes togetherness and bonding creates an opportunity for disruptive innovation in the pet furniture industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Elevated Pet Office Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pet-chair.md) - [Posh Pet-Friendly Chair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nomad-juno.md) - [Multi-Use Dog Beds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/foldable-human-dog-bed.md) - [Posh Pet-Friendly Chair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/quella-chair.md) - [Pet Bed-Equipped Chair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sharing-joy-armchair.md) - [Dog-Friendly Desk Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/agility-desk.md) - [Demure Dog House Desks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dog-hut-desk.md) - [Human-Quality Dog Beds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/human-quality-dog-beds.md) - [Dog Bed-Equipped Side Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/home-furniture-design.md)
