Some of us are just as attached to our furry friends as they are to us. By tucking their crate below a bench at the foot of your bed, you get the comfort of having them by your side, without having to sacrifice any space on your side of the bed.

Every living room has a similar setup: Sofa, coffee table, lamps and end tables. Well, a nice wooden crate with a solid top can serve as the perfect end table to hold a lamp, a few coasters and magazines. And if you already need a table this size in your space, why not make it multi-functional to include every member of your family into the hub of your home.<\/p>\n

6. Built Into Your Built-Ins<\/h2>\n

Built-ins are the perfect place to integrate an attractive pet crate into your home. They’re usually customizable, so by swapping out a set of base cabinets you have the ideal nook for a crate that can be made the ideal size for your specific pet. You can do this in\u00a0any room in your home, including the kitchen, laundry room and basement.

If you don’t want to go out and buy a new crate or build a custom one from scratch, you can always reuse an existing piece of furniture. An existing dresser that doesn’t see much use\u00a0might be the\u00a0perfect piece to work with. It will look like a normal dresser to the naked eye, but will function like no dresser you have ever had before.<\/p>\n
