I start with an animal,
And finish with a material,
I also entertain people,
And make your house beautiful.
As most answers already have this, hint 1 is:
Wood
Got the idea based on this great riddle.

$\begingroup$ I am new here, so I don't know the correct way, as @Randal'Thor said, it's the form of the riddle thats based on, no other correlation... $\endgroup$– Gustavo GabrielCommented Mar 21, 2018 at 21:09

$\begingroup$ When I saw the title, I immediately thought of Fishsticks. The stick part even matched the hint! And then I read the rest of the riddle... $\endgroup$– PL457Commented Mar 22, 2018 at 10:33

How about
dogwood?
Starts with an animal:
dog.
Ends with a material:
wood.
Entertain people:
according to Wikipedia, dogwood is used to make mountain dulcimers, a type of musical instrument.
Make your house beautiful:
maybe dogwood is used in some kind of interior decoration?
(I posted this answer after seeing Herb Wolfe's, but thought of it before. At first I'd thought it unlikely, but given the OP's comment that Herb was close, maybe it's worth a try after all.)

Are you
Basswood?Dogwood
Starts with an animal:
Bass - a type of fishDog, a pet, and man's best friend.
Finishes with a material:
Wood, obviously a material.
Entertains people:
Many guitars are made using basswood, and guitars entertain people.
According to this Wikipedia disambiguation page, dogwood can refer to, among other things, a thoroughbred race, a NASCAR race, an amateur golf tournament, or a Christian punk band, any of which can be entertaining to people.
Makes your house beautiful:
The basswood tree can be used as an ornamental tree, which would make your house beautiful, and the wood itself is used for furniture and other decorative household items.
The dogwood tree is also an ornamental tree, and the beautiful wood can be used for a variety of smaller objects requiring a hard wood.

New guess. Are you...
Wormwood? Starts with "worm" (sort of an animal), ends with "wood", is an entertaining series on Netflix, and can be an ornamental plant for your house.
Old guess was...
A dogwood tree. Starts with "dog", ends with "wood", and makes your house beautiful. Not sure about the entertainment part, though.
