East Lyme 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 disaster, except if you have a way to keep them organized. There are a lot of innovative options to keep your pet accessories under control and easy to find. By utilizing at least one of these procedures, you can easily keep your pet’s area organized and your home clutter-free.
Pet Feeding Station
A perfect way to keep your pet’s area clean and look well 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. Therefore, everything will remain organized in place. You may also buy or repurpose a cabinet, side table, or other pieces of furniture, one that will fit in with your current décor.
Walking Station
Another incredible way to keep your pet’s accessories organized is with a walking station. Consider using pet-themed wall décor, hooks, decorative baskets, or other elements to create a place to hang accessories and keep essential things in a single spot. At that point, when you want to take your dog, cat, or even an iguana out for a stroll, you’ll have all that you need.
Under-Bed Storage
Pet beds can take up a lot of floor space. Why not maximize your square footage by building specific storage that made to fit underneath a pet bed? With a couple of containers or drawers and some imagination, you could create a bed frame that has space for storing toys, grooming supplies, and accessories. By utilizing drawers, you also put all your pet’s things neatly out of sight when not being used.
Creative Storage Ideas
Even just choosing for some attractive storage bins or baskets can go a long way towards keeping your pet’s area organized. You may use a set of nesting bins or baskets to gather materials of various sizes. These can be set correctly in a corner or tucked in a convenient spot. Or maybe purchase an ottoman or chest that can use for toys and different things. 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’d like more storage, you could even repurpose an old armoire, cabinet, or other pieces of furniture to use for pet supplies. Pre-owned furniture pieces are always easy to find and affordable to purchase and can be painted to fit your home’s interior décor.
De-Clutter Regularly
One of the easiest ways to keep 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. Just keep the things that you and your pet use often. Consider donating anything in good condition to a local rescue or shelter. Thereby, you can help out other pets and, at the same time, have fewer items to keep organized.
