13 Stylish Ways to Hide Your Pet's Stuff

Stash your pup’s stuff in this Merry Products cabinet that doubles as an elevated pet feeding station. Pull out the bottom drawer at mealtime and there’s a pair of stainless bowls mounted in holes in the drawer bottom. Each one holds 6.75 cups of food or water, enough to accommodate a large dog or a couple of smaller ones. 

Close the drawer when your pet finishes eating to tuck the bowls out of sight. The hinged bin in the middle of the cabinet holds about 25 pounds of dry dog food. Pegs on the side of the cabinet give you a spot to hang a leash and collar, and a shelf on top can hold treats and toys. It works for cats, too.

You can store you kitty’s supplies and give them a place to sleep in this stylish piece of cat furniture from Sam’s Pets. Its modern lines will go with a range of interior design styles.

Pet crates are necessary, but homely. Nothing makes a room look quite as unwelcoming as a big metal animal cage among the furniture. The solution? This New Age dog crate that looks like furniture – in this case, a side table. Pet crates tables are usually made of wood, MDF or a plastic-wood polymer. Tuck one of these crate/table hybrids next to your bed, desk or sofa, put a lamp atop it and visitors will have to look twice to know your dog is sleeping below.

Save floor space with this piece from New Age Pet that combines a pet bed and a nightstand in the same footprint.

Litter boxes, ugh. You want them out of sight. Hide yours in this mid-century modern style litter box concealment table from Staart that won’t just camouflage the litter box but also adds style to your room. Stash the box behind the double doors of the cabinet. Your kitty enters through a hole in the side that’s hidden by the extended end of the cabinet. Put this by your sofa or armchair and your cat’s litter box is disguised as a piece of furniture. Put the TV remote on top for good measure. Ingenious.

Combine your pet’s sleeping and eating quarters in one hardworking piece of furniture with Iconic Pet’s wooden bed with a pull-out feeding station.

The pair of bowls are removable and dishwasher safe.

Instead of hiding your pet’s bed, pick one so pretty that it looks right at home next to the human furniture.
