Our homes are often designed with people in mind first—but we believe pets are part of the family too. Whether you're a dog lover, cat parent, or both, adding custom built-ins for pets can help create a cleaner, calmer space while making life more comfortable for your four-legged companions.
If you're already dreaming of a pet-friendly mudroom, a stylish feeding nook in the kitchen, or a tucked-away litter box, you're not alone. Thoughtfully designed built-ins can keep pet clutter out of sight while making your daily routine a little easier.
Pet-Friendly Mudrooms That Do More
The mudroom is the perfect place to keep pet essentials organized and off the floor. A built-in feeding station keeps bowls in place and easy to clean, while custom drawers or cubbies can hold leashes, treats, towels, and toys.
Some families add a built-in dog bed or kennel to give their pup a cozy resting spot near the door. If space allows, a built-in pet wash station can make muddy paw cleanups a breeze. With a dedicated doggie corner, your entryway stays clean, and your pet feels right at home.

Kitchens Built for Everyone—Even the Pets
Today’s kitchens do more than just cook meals—they’re the heart of the home. Adding custom features for pets can keep things functional and looking great at the same time.
Some popular built-in kitchen features for pets include:
- Hidden or pull-out feeding and water stations
- Built-in crate space in a kitchen island
- Pull-out trash bins to keep curious noses away
- Cozy window nooks where pets can perch and watch the world
Keeping pet items tidy is easier when everything has a home. These design touches make it easier to keep pet gear organized and out of sight without sacrificing style. From food bins and brushes to toys and medication, having dedicated drawers or cabinets for your pet’s supplies keeps them out of common areas and helps maintain a clean, uncluttered look.
Built-in pantries or custom cubbies let you store what you need without piling it on the counter. Even better, your pet’s routine becomes easier to manage with everything in one place.
A Doghouse That Blends Right In
One of the most creative trends in pet design is a built-in doghouse tucked under the stairs. This space-saving idea turns an otherwise unused area into a cozy nook your dog can call their own.
You can add a soft bed, custom trim, and even a gate, mini barn-door, or cabinet door for a clean look when guests come over. It’s the kind of project that not only declutters your space but also infuses personality and charm to your home.
Stylish Litter Box Solutions for Cat Owners
We love cats too! But litter boxes are an unavoidable part of their care. Why have it be an eyesore? A built-in litter box station can blend into nearly any room while giving your cat the privacy they prefer.
Some homeowners install these cabinets in laundry rooms, hallways, or bathrooms. You can even add built-in shelving above to store extra litter, scoops, and other supplies.
With the right design, everything has a place, and nothing has to be left out in plain sight!
A Home That Works for the Whole Family
When your home is designed to meet everyone's needs, including your pets, life just runs smoother. These custom touches make caring for pets more convenient while giving your home a polished, finished look.
