Sun Prairie pet owners know that caring for a dog, cat, or other animals also means having an assortment of pet-related things. Beds, toys, dishes, leashes, and more can quickly become a cluttered mess unless you have a way to keep them organized. There are numerous creative approaches to keep your pet accessories under control and easy to find. By doing at least one of these strategies, you can easily keep your pet’s area organized and your home clutter-free.
Pet Feeding Station
An extraordinary method to keep your pet’s area clean and attractive is to create a pet feeding station. A feeding station could have a bin for food and treats, hooks for leashes and accessories, and a pull-out drawer with food bowls. As such, everything will remain effortlessly in place. You could even buy or repurpose a cabinet, side table, or other pieces of furniture, something that will match with your current theme.
Walking Station
Another extraordinary way to keep your pet’s accessories organized is with a walking station. Consider utilizing pet-themed wall décor, hooks, decorative baskets, or other elements to create a place to hang accessories and keep essential items in a single spot. At that point, when it’s time to take your dog, cat, or even an iguana out for a stroll, you’ll have everything you need.
Under-Bed Storage
Pet beds can take up a lot of floor space. Why not maximize your square footage by making some storage intended to fit underneath a pet bed? With a couple of canisters or drawers and some creativity, you could create a bed frame that has space for storing toys, grooming supplies, and accessories. By using drawers, you also put all your pet’s things neatly out of sight when not being used.
Creative Storage Ideas
Even simply choosing some attractive storage bins or baskets can go a long way toward keeping your pet’s area organized. You could use a set of nesting bins or baskets to store items of various sizes. These can be placed neatly in a corner or tucked in a convenient spot. Or perhaps invest in an ottoman or chest that can be used for toys and other items. Ottomans and chests can do double-duty as great furniture pieces in a living room, adding aesthetic appeal while keeping your pet’s things all in one place.
If you need more space, you could even repurpose an old armoire, cabinet, or other pieces of furniture to use for pet supplies. Pre-owned furniture pieces are often easy to find and are cheap to buy and can be painted to coordinate your home’s interior décor.
De-Clutter Regularly
One of the best ways to maintain an organized pet area is to de-clutter on a regular basis. Donate or throw out old leashes, broken toys, and any food items your pet won’t eat. Only keep the items that you and your pet use often. Consider donating anything in good condition to a local rescue or shelter. In this way, you’ll help out other pets and have fewer things to keep organized at the same time.
