Absolutely. A dog room can be just for sleeping, or it can be a hub for all dog activities.

Mount a set of hooks for hanging up their harness and leash. Get floor bins or a cubby unit for storing away grooming supplies, toys and treats. And throw in a small trash can for good measure. Have to put all that fur somewhere.

A wall-mounted set of hooks: Hanna Roberts Decorative Key Holder & Dog Leash Hook
A rustic wooden shelf with hooks for leash storage: Rustic Coat Rack Wall Mounted Shelf with Hooks & Baskets
A convenient pet supply bin: Morezi Large Dog Toy Storage Box

There’s no wrong answer here. As long as the space comfortably fits your dog, it will totally work.

A mudroom or walk-in closet will do nicely for a small dog room. Lots of pet owners have opted to use the space under their stairs for a cute dog room.

If you have a giant dog breed or would prefer to have enough space to hang out in your dog’s room with them, consider repurposing your garage instead.

Most people don’t have a master bedroom to devote to their dog, so don’t feel bad if the space you have to work with isn’t massive.

There are plenty of space-saving storage options, like ^{this feeding station} with a bin for kibble, a food and water bowl drawer, a shelf for toys and built-in leash hooks.

Even if you can only transform a corner of the room into a dedicated dog nook, you can make the space look nice. These spacious dog crates that blend in with the rest of your furniture are a great option.

Don’t Forget to Have Fun.
