The Dogs & Interiorist Series – Approved by Fritz
Welcome to The Dogs & Interiorist Series by Approved by Fritz, where we celebrate the perfect harmony of stylish living spaces and the dogs who make them home. Whether you're working from home, flipping through your favorite book, or relaxing after a long walk, there’s something heartwarming about watching your dog nap in their favorite spot or keep a vigilant eye on the neighborhood.
In this blog series, we sit down with dog lovers to explore their homes, learn about their design choices, and discover how their furry companions have shaped their living spaces. Today, we’re thrilled to share a peek inside Julie Cylt @juliecult and her dog Ohana. They live in a beautiful apartment in charming Lyon, a city in France. We have been enjoying Julie interior content for a very long time, so we thought its ready for an Dogs & Interiorist interview:)
Meet Julie & Ohana.
Tell us about you and your dog.
"My name is Julie, I live near Lyon in France. I’m passionate about interior decoration and design. I am a very happy and active person by nature and I love adding color to my interior. Our dog Ohana is six years old, she was born deaf but she is a real naughty girl who understands a lot of things with gestures."
A Home Designed for Dogs
What’s Ohana’s favorite spot at home?
Ohana absolutely loves her cushion. From there, she has the perfect vantage point to survey the entire room. She’s like the queen of the apartment, always keeping an eye on everything and making sure she doesn’t miss a moment of action!
Dogs & Home Life
What does it mean to have Ohana by your side at home?
Ohana brings so much joy into my life. She has this incredible way of soothing me, especially during moments of stress or tension. When I’m feeling down or under the weather, she’s always there—snuggling up beside me, offering comfort without a word.
Every morning, without fail, she climbs into bed with us, curling up on the pillow next to me. It’s the sweetest way to start the day and always reminds me how much she’s a part of our family.
Having her around means I never feel alone. She’s my constant companion, always up for a walk in the forest or a stroll through the fields. Those outings are like little doses of magic—keeping us active and reminding me to slow down and enjoy the moment. Honestly, I think of Ohana as my elixir of eternal youth!
Julie and Ohana’s story is a perfect example of how life with a dog can bring both beauty and joy into a home. From her love of design to the meaningful moments shared with her furry companion, Julie shows us that creating a space for your dog doesn’t mean compromising on style.
Whether it’s finding the perfect spot for a Fritz bed or simply enjoying those quiet moments together, we hope this story inspires you to embrace the little ways your dog makes your house feel more like a home.
