Pet owners care deeply about their furry friends, so much so that many interior design elements are formed around these unique needs. Cabinets, drawers, and open storage can be customized to accommodate your pet and all of their accessories. Here are some unique options that could work for cat owners, dog owners, reptile lovers, bunny owners, and more.
Dedicated Food Storage Cabinets: Unique Sizing
Depending on the size and age of your pet, their food could range in size. Storing their food in a cool and dry place is essential for keeping it from contaminants. If they prefer wet or frozen food, you can conceal a fridge inside a cabinet. Working with a custom cabinet designer like Rasmussen Custom Cabinetry will give you unique sizing that you won’t get from pre-made options.
Custom cabinets can also come without shelving that can restrict large bags of dog food or tall jars. For specialized pets like snakes, birds, ferrets, or other “non-traditional” pets, their food could range in size and may not need a large cabinet dedicated to their food alone.
Litter Box Enclosures
Cat litter boxes can fill a home with unnecessary odors when not maintained. Having a litter box enclosure will give your felines a designated space to do their business and will make them feel loved, while limiting cat waste odors to this designated area. Cabinet designs for pet owners should make the daily care of a pet much easier.
Enclosures could have slide or lift up doors for easy access. Lift up doors can make it easier to clean or help your pets access at certain times of the day. Some litter box enclosures can come with fans or ventilation equipment to keep the area fresh.
Mudroom Cabinets And Integrated Food Bowl Holders
Dedicating your mudroom to your pets can limit dirty paw prints, spilled food, or odors from entering the rest of your home. A mudroom can also contain more durable materials for flooring, doors, and cabinets. This will prevent them from scratches, dents, and other types of wear.
Mudrooms or laundry rooms are often used specifically for storage. Including all your pet accessories and pet care options in a designated room keeps a home organized. A pet dedicated mudroom will limit loss of items and pet dander throughout your home.
Odor Control Features
Ventilation, charcoal filters, or waste absorbing pads can be put in your pets lounge spaces or in pet food cabinets. These features can be included in custom cabinets or drawers that will help keep odors from spreading. Small fans and filters are easy for a cabinet designer to integrate into cabinet designs for pet owners.
Toy And Treat Storage Drawers
Pet owners often collect toys and treats for their pets which can be hard to store and become clutter quickly. If you continue to buy toys for your cat, dog, or other pet, having deep drawers will be a great place to organize them. With customizable sizes and depths, working with a custom cabinet designer will help you fit even the most awkward shaped toys.
A treat drawer with built in compartments can also be helpful to pet owners. From teeth cleaning treats, healthy options, or special occasion bones, there are various sizes that you may need to keep clean and dry. Similar to a silverware drawer, compartments can be made that you fill with the appropriate treats.
Dedicated Lounge Spaces In Every Room
Your pets will often want to be near you during cooking, lounging, family dinner, and your nighttime routine. Having dedicated cut outs and lounge space with pet beds will help them feel welcome without blocking your path. The lounge spaces could have a door that folds or slides away when your pet is in there, but can be closed to conceal it when not in use. A sliding door will help the pet lounge space blend in with the rest of your cabinet set.
