The Most Paw-some Pet Hacks to Keep Your Space Organized

Dutch doors have all the benefits of your everyday doggie door but with a more charming aesthetic! Open the top part of the door so your pup can be within sight while staying safely inside, and close it when necessary. You can install a dutch door as your front door, back door, or even playroom or office door, so pups can stay contained but still be in on the action during family parties or events.

We all love our kitty cats, but something we don’t love? Their litter boxes. They can be fussy, messy, and stinky if they don’t have a lid—not to mention, they can also ruin a perfectly put together room design. But with this pet hack, you can keep your furry feline’s potty place hidden in plain sight. This cabinet from Wayfair is the perfect solution, and it even comes in an array of colors to match your other furniture.

How cute is this built-in pet food station that Drew and Jonathan designed for Emma Roberts’ Aunt Moo? The addition of the pot filler also means you’ll never have to make the long journey from the floor to the sink for water refills, either. As a bonus, the white oak hardwood that runs throughout the kitchen is extra durable, so it can handle the pitter patter of little paws.

Everyone knows that cats reign supreme! That’s why they deserve their own cat palace like this one. It has multiple levels that include scratching posts, tunnels, and flat spots to lounge. Turn an unused or thrifted wardrobe into their new favorite place to play by installing shelves and kitty playthings inside.

Mudroom meets mutt room with this clever idea! This bench performs double-duty as a place to hold pet bowls and food, as well as a place to sit while you put your boots on. It also keeps the puppy clutter out of sight from the main house, which leads to cleaner sight lines (and floors) in the kitchen.

Floating shelves are usually reserved for added decor or storage, but not in this house! Here, a mix of shelves and crates come together to create the ultimate kitty party zone. Add in a fake mouse and a fluffy bed, and you’ve got a purr-fect setup.

Dog crates can be pretty unsightly. Consider using a built-in for your pet, instead! Take away the shelves and replace the doors to one of your unused cabinets in the living room or TV room and voilà, you have a pet crate. It’s a win-win because it doesn’t take up additional space; no one will even notice it’s there when the doors are closed; and your furry BFF will look so dang cute inside. What’s not to love?

Every pet needs a special bed, and puppy Lucca was lucky enough to receive this sleek one from Drew and Jonathan. If you’re considering this look at home, try choosing a bed pattern or print that blends well with your decor and color scheme, and don’t forget to complete it with a toy or two. Your good boy or girl deserves it!
