Sizes range from small model doghouses just over 10 inches tall, to common decoration heights around 36–48 inches, up to large inflatables of about 72 inches tall.
Many Snoopy doghouse decorations are designed for outdoor use or for both indoor and outdoor placement. Smaller model and display doghouses are intended as indoor shelf or desk decor.
Options include pre-lit versions with incandescent mini lights on an electric cord, energy-efficient LED lighting, and plug-in inflatables that self-inflate and light up when powered.
Outdoor decorations often include stakes and tethers. Some lighted items also include replacement bulbs or spare fuses, ground stakes or a stand, and plugs with end connectors for stacking.
Styles include holiday and seasonal themes—Christmas doghouses decorated as gingerbread or with wreaths, Halloween scenes with costume accents—as well as classic red doghouse models and collectible reinterpretations.
Inflatables are designed to deflate for compact storage. Many two-dimensional lighted decorations are slim for easy takedown and compact storage in a closet or bin.
