Kitchens & Dining — Elevated Pet Dining & Stylish Storage Solutions
At Flaunt Consignment Furniture, Blinds, Interior Design & Real Estate, we believe every member of your household deserves thoughtfully designed space—including your pets! Your kitchen is one of the most used rooms in your home, and it can play a pivotal role in your pet’s daily routine. From clever feeding stations to streamlined supplement storage, we specialize in integrating pet-friendly features into beautiful kitchen designs.
Whether you envision a bespoke feeding zone or an ultra-organized pantry, here’s how we can help you elevate your pet’s kitchen experience—without compromising your home’s aesthetic.
1. Pet Feeding Stations That Feel High-End
Forget mismatched bowls on the floor. A well-designed feeding area can become a feature, not an eyesore. Here are chic and functional ideas:
- Built-In Bowl Drawers: Install a lower drawer with cutouts for stainless steel or ceramic bowls. Ideal in a kitchen island, mudroom, or pantry base cabinet.
- Pull-Out Feeding Stations: A custom drawer or toe-kick pullout that slides out with food and water bowls—tuck away when not in use to keep your floors clear.
- Elevated Platforms: Choose raised feeders in wood, marble, or metal finishes that match your kitchen's aesthetic. Bonus: Better posture for pets during mealtime.
- Water Refill Stations: Include a filtered tap or pot-filler near your pet’s bowls for easy access to clean water.
Design Tip: Coordinate your pet’s bowl station with cabinetry finishes or countertop materials to maintain visual flow.
2. The Ultimate Pet Pantry: Organize Like a Pro
Your pet’s dietary needs deserve a dedicated, organized space—just like your own dry goods. Here’s how to design a beautiful, efficient pet pantry:
- Zone It Out: Designate sections for dry food, canned food, treats, supplements, grooming items, and medications.
- Clear Containers: Use glass or BPA-free airtight containers to store kibble and treats. Label them with stylish decals or chalk labels.
- Tiered Shelving: Maximize vertical space with tiered shelves, baskets, or pull-out racks for easy access.
- Drawer Dividers: Use utensil trays to separate pill pockets, dental chews, and measuring spoons.
- Treat Jars as Decor: Choose ceramic or wood-top jars in your kitchen’s color palette and display them on open shelving.
Efficiency Boost: Include a small trash bin and a designated bin for recyclables like treat pouches and food cans.
3. Built-In Food Drawers & Storage Cabinets
A true luxury kitchen includes dedicated storage that serves every member of the household—including your pets.
- Slide-Out Food Bins: Install deep drawers with food-safe liners to hold kibble in bulk. Choose metal bins with scoops for a sleek, hygienic setup.
- Overhead Cabinets: Use an upper cabinet near the feeding station for supplements, flea meds, and backup supplies.
- Side Pantry Cupboards: Slim cabinets beside your fridge or oven tower can serve as vertical pet pantries with labeled containers.
- Pull-Out Caddies: Add a slide-out caddy with stacked bins and trays just for pet dining accessories.
Aesthetic Touch: Match drawer handles and finishes to your kitchen hardware for consistency.
4. Feeding Mats, Bowls & Accessories That Match Your Vibe
Even the accessories can elevate your kitchen style:
- Choose minimalist feeding mats in silicone, cork, or faux leather.
- Use ceramic or stainless bowls with matte finishes that complement your countertops.
- Pick up monogrammed placemats or custom bowls that match your kitchen colors.
Cleaning Tip: Keep a drawer nearby with extra mats, wipes, and a hand vacuum for quick cleanup.
5. Hidden Storage for a Clean Look
Keep clutter out of sight with intentional design features:
- Add a toe-kick drawer under your cabinetry for mats, spare bowls, or treat bags.
- Use cabinet doors with pet-safe latches to store supplements or vet paperwork.
- Install floating shelves with decorative bins for easy access to treats or toys.
Bonus: A small chalkboard or dry-erase board inside a pantry door is great for tracking feeding schedules or supplement doses.
6. Kitchen Islands with Pet Zones
If you're remodeling or building a new kitchen, consider:
- Adding a built-in feeding nook at the end of your island.
- Including lower shelves for pet accessories and food containers.
- Using waterproof flooring under the feeding area for durability.
