Finding the right spot to hide your litter box can sometimes be a challenge, especially if you live in a smaller space where every inch counts. A great option is to find litter box furniture – a dual purpose piece that looks like a side table or other storage piece while concealing your kitty’s private business. This can help you maximize the space without sacrificing aesthetics!
How does litter box furniture work?
Litter box furniture is a valuable piece to add to your home, especially if you have a smaller space and multiple cats. You can even find pieces that work with self-cleaning litter boxes, like the Litter-Robot.
Litter box furniture works by covering up your cat's litter box with a unique design aesthetic. They not only help resolve smaller space parameters, but they also create a look that you can be proud to show off!
If we’re being honest, even a sleekly designed litter box like the Litter-Robot can stand out in a smaller space. If your limited space requires that you need to place your cat's box in a high-traffic room, finding the best litter box furniture will help you keep your room’s design cohesive while still providing your felines with much-needed bathroom space.
What makes good litter box furniture?
Finding good litter box furniture can be tricky. After all, you want to ensure that the furniture functions properly while complementing your home. The point is to make the piece be undetectable by your guests while still giving your pets the space they require. Here are a few other features you should look for.
Functionality
Your litter box furniture should serve two purposes. The first is to be accessible to your cats. If they cannot access their litter box easily, they will begin searching for other places to go. The second purpose is to provide a decorative element to your room. The piece should properly function as a table, credenza, or another piece of furniture.
Easy to clean
No matter how beautiful or functional the piece is, you will want to have easy access to the litter box for cleaning. The enclosure should be accessible so you can slide the litter box tray out and refill the litter compartment. If not, you should continue your search for a different piece.
Good design
Finding a piece that fits your design aesthetic is valuable. After all, if you have a traditional home, adding a modern piece might stick out like a sore thumb. Instead, find a piece that fits your current design style to seamlessly match the room.
You will also want to ensure that the piece has clever placement of doors, walls, and flaps to give your pet privacy while still being easily accessible.
Maximizes space
Litter box furniture is a space saver. When you find a piece that serves multiple purposes, it is a win-win! The convenient all-in-one solution can help you maximize space.
Cat-preferred
The most important feature for your litter box furniture is if it is cat-approved! If your feline refuses to use the new furniture, it is not worth the money. Having the litter box be easily accessible will be key to keeping your felines happy. But remember, with all-new litter box products, your cats might take a little time to adapt.
