Organizing Your Pet’s Space When You’re Renting a Home in Germantown

Germantown Tenant Spending a Lazy Afternoon with Their DogGermantown 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 catastrophe until you have a way to keep them organized. There are many innovative ways to keep your pet accessories under control and easy to find. By using one or more of these schemes, you can easily keep your pet’s area organized and your home clutter-free.

Pet Feeding Station

An outstanding way to keep your pet’s area clean and gorgeous 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. In this way, everything will stay organized wherever they’re put. You could even buy or repurpose a cabinet, side table, or other pieces of furniture, something that will blend in with your existing décor.

Walking Station

One more wonderful means 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 items in one place. Later, when it’s time to take your dog, cat, or even an iguana out for a stroll, you’ll have whatever it is you need 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 meant to fit underneath a pet bed? With a few boxes or drawers and some artistic imagination, 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 in use.

Creative Storage Ideas

Of course, even just preferring to go for 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 collect items of different 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 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 inexpensive to buy and can be painted to match your home’s interior furnishings.

De-Clutter Regularly

One of the most effective 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 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 orderly at the same time.
