Pet supplies have a way of ending up everywhere. With these 8 pet storage ideas you can find a proper home for all of it and make your space feel like yours again.
If you share your home with a pet, you’ll know that their toys have a habit of taking over. They bring a lot of joy – but pet food, treats and toys can quickly cause clutter. With a few small changes to how you store your pet’s things and a bit of clever organisation, you can make a real difference to how your space looks and feels.
Need somewhere to store the bigger bits? We’ve got flexible short-term and long-term storage options for every need.
To help you with organising your pet supplies, start with decluttering. Gather all of your pet items and sort it into categories like food, toys and grooming. This way you can see exactly what you have and decide what to keep and what can go.
Walls are one of the most practical places for storing pet supplies, especially in hallways or utility rooms where space is tight. Wall-mounted hooks or pegboards are brilliant for leads, accessories and any other extras like poo bags, treats or brushes.
Pegboards, in particular, are a really flexible option as you can just adjust the hooks and fittings for exactly what you need. If you’ve got a dog, hanging daily supplies near the front door means you won’t have to rush around before a walk; you can just grab what you need on the way out.
Vlatka Lake, Space Station’s storage expert, shares her top tips: “We often forget about using wall space for storage, but it’s a great way to break up areas of the home that can often feel cluttered. Higher-level storage is great for keeping everything easily accessible and out of the way.”
If you’ve got the space for it, giving your pet their own dedicated area really helps to keep things organised. It could be anything from a section of a kitchen cupboard, a unit in the utility room or a corner of the hallway. The idea is that everything lives in one place – food, toys, grooming bits, towels – so you don’t have to hunt around the house for things.
Depending on your space, you can add some organisation with different baskets or even add in some hooks for hanging leads and harnesses. If you’ve got the room, you could even pop your pet’s bed nearby to make it their own little zone.
One of the smartest pet storage ideas, and one that works especially well in smaller homes, is furniture that doubles up as storage. An ottoman or bench with a lift-up lid is ideal for tucking away pet blankets, towels, toys and anything else that doesn’t have a home. It keeps everything out of sight, looks great and gives you loads more space – win, win, win.
It’s always the little bits like nail clippers, flea treatments and spare collar tags that end up scattered at the bottom of a drawer. Adding in some drawer dividers will make a big difference and save you from buying extras of what you’ve already got.
Vlatka’s expert tip: “A great solution is to optimise free drawer space by using dividers and trays to group items together. Categorise items such as nail clippers, vitamins and supplements, and grooming tools – it’ll simplify your pet’s care routine and help to prevent clutter.”
Pet toy storage doesn’t need to be expensive; a basket, canvas tub or even a wooden crate in the corner of your living room is all you need. If you pick something that matches your style, it’ll blend in nicely with the rest of your décor. Keeping the basket at floor level is great if you want your pet to be able to grab a toy themselves, but you can also lift it up if you don’t want them rooting through and pulling everything out.
Pet admin is one of those things that nobody really thinks about until they urgently need some important paperwork and have no idea where it is. Set aside a dedicated folder or drawer for all of your pet’s important documents, like vet records, vaccination certificates and insurance details. This will save you stress down the line and also help out any future pet sitters in the case of an emergency.
A simple shower caddy or small basket works perfectly to keep everything you need for grooming in one place. It’s easy to carry wherever you’re doing your pet grooming or to take with you if you’re travelling, and you can rely on everything you need being there. Then, at home, you can pop it in a bathroom cupboard, under the sink, or wherever makes the most sense for you and your pet’s routine.
Bulky bags of dry dog food or piles of cat food pouches are major culprits when it comes to pet clutter. Move dry food into airtight sealed containers to keep it fresh and make it look much tidier. Just remember to keep the original packaging or make a note of the expiry date before you throw away the bag. For wet food, keep the pouches or tins in a basket to keep them all in one place and easy to pull out when you need them. Once opened, though, they need to go straight into the fridge, tightly covered and used within the recommended timeframe.
If you have a larger dog and go through food quickly, a pull-out cabinet or built-in pull-out bin is a great solution; it keeps the food hidden away and saves space. Added bonus: if you add a scoop, you can grab portions quickly and easily.

Wall-mounted storage is your best friend in a small home or flat. Make use of any empty vertical space with hooks, shelves or a pegboard to keep your pet supplies tidy and out of the way. You could even opt for dual-purpose furniture like a storage ottoman for hiding toys in, that way you get the storage without taking up any extra space.
If you’ve decluttered or your pet has outgrown a bed, crate or carrier, and it’s still in good condition, local animal shelters are always grateful for donations. For items like unopened food, vitamins or grooming supplies, check with your vet or a local pet food bank, as they too might want them. Anything broken or worn out should be disposed of responsibly.
