Having a pet in our lives can bring us a great deal of happiness and companionship, but having a pet also means lots of “stuff.” Pet supplies, which can range from food and toys to grooming equipment and accessories, can quickly take over our living areas. To help your pet’s supplies blend in, here are a few tips along with some Amazon links for extra inspiration.

Find supplies that match your décor

Ditch the basic, old fashioned silver food and water bowls, plain black crates and boring pet beds. There’s a world of cute and aesthetically pleasing pet supplies available to choose from.

Use decorative baskets and bins

Multifunctional furniture

A clever technique to conceal your pet supplies in plain sight is to choose multi-purpose furniture – especially if you’re short on space. Consider a chic ottoman that can also be used to store toys, leashes, and other accessories. Some pet beds come with built-in storage underneath to accommodate extra blankets and grooming supplies. We like this crate that doubles as an accent table.

Hidden Feeding Stations

Make a feeding room for your pet out of an existing cabinet or a tiny nook. Install a sliding or hinged door to conceal the supplies while not in use. If you’re up for a bigger undertaking and are building or redesigning your home, consider incorporating custom-built solutions that meld perfectly with the style of your home.

Have a home for everything

An important part of making supplies like toys, treats, food, and walking gear less noticeable is having a spot for everything in your home. Adding hooks and wall mounted storage in your laundry room or garage for all your items will go a long way in keeping your space organized and clutter free.

 

Don’t let your pet’s stuff overrun your home! Use these tips to seamlessly store and work items into your overall décor in a way that you and your furry friends will both appreciate.
