Use IKEA Hyllis shelving to give your feline that catwalk of its dreams. Customizable to any room or entire living space, the shelving can be arranged in various heights and lengths so your kitty can stay entertained and, when desired, stealthily get around your home.

2. When living in a matchbox

Shaina from the blog Life Is My Runway needed a space-efficient but oh-so-comfy sleeping solution for her pups. Using an IKEA SKUBB box, she DIYed a stylish yet cozy trundle dog bed that slides under her bed when not in use.

We found our fave fashionable IKEA pet hack on If It’s Not Baroque. Design blogger Lauren and her hubby remodeled IKEA PAX wardrobe frames into dynamite dog kennels for their adorable pack of diminutive canines.

7. The drawer has gone to the dogs

Tired of dog food bowls littering your kitchen, living room or bedroom floor? These pet lovers hacked an IKEA Haddal dresser into a dog-food hideaway that can also store other pet essentials.
