Organizing Your Pet’s Space When You’re Renting a Home in Bryan-College Station

Bryan-College Station Tenant Spending a Lazy Afternoon with Their DogBryan-College Station 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 disorderly unless you have a way to keep them organized. There are many artistic strategies to keep your pet accessories under control and easy to find. Through one or more of these tactics, you can easily keep your pet’s area organized and your home clutter-free.

Pet Feeding Station

A great way to keep your pet’s area clean and nice-looking 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. Like this, everything will stay neatly in place. You could even buy or repurpose a cabinet, side table, or other pieces of furniture, something that will blend in with your prevailing décor.

Walking Station

One more great 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 necessary items in one place. Then, when it’s time to take your dog, cat, or even an iguana out for a stroll, you’ll have the whole thing in one space.

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 few bins or drawers and some creativity, you could create a bed frame that has space for storing toys, grooming supplies, and accessories. By making use of drawers, you also put all your pet’s things neatly out of sight when not in use.

Creative Storage Ideas

Of course, even just going for some attractive storage bins or baskets can go a long way to keeping your pet’s area organized. You could use a set of nesting bins or baskets to gather items of various sizes. These can be placed neatly in a corner or tucked in a convenient spot. Or maybe invest in an ottoman or chest that can be used for toys and other objects. 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 reasonably-priced to buy and can be painted to match your home’s central décor.

De-Clutter Regularly

One of the best 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. Only store 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 planned at the same time.
