Dog Room Decor essential #1 - Water and food bowls
This one is a given really! Pets require access to clean fresh drinking water at all times so having bowls available to drink from is non-negotiable.
If your pup loves to make a mess with their water (or is prone to knocking their bowls over) you might like to make multiple water sources available or opt for a weighted pet bowl instead.

Pet gates and pens are great for keeping your pooches safe, secure and contained in their doggy rooms or designated areas (essential in our opinion).
Built-in options like the ones pictured above are awesome (especially if they're within your budget), but there are also lots of budget-friendly, temporary, free-standing and movable options on the market too, available in a range of colors and styles to suit your decor.
Another thing to consider is whether you'll be allowing your doggo access to the outdoors via their dog room or designated area.
If so, doggy doors are a great investment. Check out the below post for some great options.

Dog Room Decor Essential #5 - Monitoring Tools and Calming Devices for Anxious Pups and Pet Parents
Not really "non-negotiable" but nice-to-have in your dog-room or dog space are doggy monitoring tools and pet cameras like the Furbo Dog Camera and/or Petcube Bites.
Similar to a nanny cam or baby monitor, pet cameras like the Furbo and Petcube allow you to watch and interact with your dog while you are away from home.
Also, depending on the model you choose, you can also subscribe to receive bark and motion alerts to your smart-phone, which can provide valuable peace of mind for anxious pet parents.
