There is no arguing the fact that our dogs can quickly take over many areas of our lives.
We make travel plans with our dogs in mind, download dog-specific phone apps and spend our money on buying them the best of everything
In time, however, the clutter can add up!
I can’t even count how many toys my dogs have at this point.
Chew toys, rubber balls, stuffed animals and more…
But what about my home? No one wants to trip over dog toys everywhere that they go!
If you are looking for a solution to your dog’s toy storage needs, you’ve come to the right place.
Today, I have put together a round up of different toy storage items designed to fit your home, whatever your style may be.
From clean and modern to rustic chic, I’ve got you covered!
Check Out These 10+ Dog Toy Storage Ideas!
Collapsible Pet Storage Bin
Let’s start with the simplest design, a collapsible storage bin.
Select a bin with a fun pattern that matches the décor of the room around it, allowing you to keep your dog’s toys out and accessible while also organized and off the floor.
Collapsible Storage Bin for Smaller Dogs
If your first thought when looking at the first storage bin is that your dog wouldn’t be able to reach their toys, here’s a similar bin with a slight twist.
The curved opening at the front of the bin provides easy access for your dog.
Meanwhile, the large bin is capable of holding up to 20lbs, easily storing your dog’s toys away safely.
Steel Basket Storage Bin
Is your home décor best described as ‘industrial’? Do ‘cutesy’ fabric storage bins just not fit?
This steel basket design will hold your pet’s toys safely while fitting into your aesthetic.
With rust-resistant finish, it can stand up easily to any dog slobber or mess that may come hand in hand with dog toy storage.
The best part? You can easily wipe it clean with a damp cloth.
Oversized Cotton Rope Storage Basket
We talked about the needs of a small dog, but what about those dog owners who share their home with a larger pup?
Not only are our dogs larger, their toys are too!
This cotton rope storage basket is jumbo sized, offering a lot of storage space, while the simplistic design will complement most spaces.
Whimsical Canvas Toy Storage Bin
If your style is best described as fun and whimsical, this bin may be exactly what you’re looking for.
The soft cotton material of this toy bin is durable and easy to clean, making it the perfect choice for those looking for a toy bin that will last.
A matching lid makes it easy to hide your dog’s toys away when company is over. Meanwhile, the cute 3D dog on the front makes it clear who it belongs to.
With three different sizes available, there are options to suit any space.
Combination Dog Stairs and Dog Toy Storage Box
If you share your home with a smaller dog that struggles to get up onto the furniture, you may have already entertained the idea of adding dog stairs to your home.
Why not select stairs that also double as a toy bin?
The bottom step here opens up, providing a safe, easy place to keep your dog’s toys tucked away.
Plus, the design also offers a warm, cozy house for your dog to curl up in.
Stackable Fabric Storage Organizers
If the idea of storing your dog’s toys away out of sight is appealing, but you have no need for dog stairs, these stackable organizers will do the job.
Each organizer will hold a large number of toys while the magnetic lid will keep everything tucked away neatly.
Sold as a pack of 2, you can use thee bins individually or stack them together as a set.
Canvas Storage Bin with Lid
Another covered storage option, this canvas bin is a simple, clean option for your dog’s toy storage needs.
This bin is both stylish and functional, providing plenty of storage space.
They come in different colours to match your style including shades of grey, brown and beige.
Inside the bin, the divider can be added or removed, allowing you to choose between 2 smaller storage areas or a single large bin.
Collapsible Toy Chest
Looking at a larger option, this collapsible toy chest will hold all of your dog’s toys while also folding down flat for easy storage.
Both the lid and the available center divider are attached with Velcro for easy access.
It is available in plain beige or grey, or a chevron design for a little extra flair.
Faux Leather Storage Ottoman
Why not think outside the box, looking at storage options that are regularly marketed to humans instead of dogs?
This stylish faux leather storage ottoman will look sharp in your living room or hallway, while offering 80L of storage space, enough to easily keep your dog’s toys stored away neatly!
When closed, it can be used as a footrest or a shoe bench.
It’s the perfect combination of stylish and functional.
Wooden Dog Toy Box
While this wooden toy box isn’t going to offer a lot of room for larger dogs, it’s the perfect adorable solution for the small dog in your home.
The toy box is easily assembled and can be painted or stained to match any space.
Not only will this keep your dog’s toys organized, but it will also make an adorable conversation piece.
Wooden Storage Chest
If you are a fan of the wooden storage solution but need more storage than the previous option provides, check out this storage chest.
This chest is available in both dark brown and white with built in handles to move it around easily.
In addition to storing your dog’s toys, this storage chest also works as a reliable bench in your entry way, holding up to 397 lbs.
Consider using smaller dividers or storage bins within the chest to expand your storage possibilities.

We use a box meant for children’s toys for our cats toys! xx
That’s a great idea. We currently have a laundry basket that we have repurposed for dog toys. Although I think I want to do something that will match the decor in that room more. The laundry basket is working great for now though (it matched better in our last house).
Some fab options here! Definitely some to bare in mind for when we get a dog in the future!
Thank you!
This could not have come at a more perfect time. I had a huge clear out of Hugo’s toys at the weekend, got rid of the tatty ones and did a huge sweep of the house, and put away all of the ones he had stashed in random places. Turns out his toy box is overflowing when they’re all in there. The oversized cotton one looks perfect for him! x

Isn’t it funny how they add up and we don’t necessarily notice it because they are busy stashing their toys in random places? We did a vacuum under the bed the other day and found 3 there that weren’t there just a few days prior… lol
Great ideas and suggestions here. Dogs definitely come with a lot of “stuff” and it can definitely make a room look a little messy!
It doesn’t take long for everything to start looking cluttered lol
These are some great ideas. We have a wooden crate that we made ourselves for Trixie’s things. We painted it to match the decor and it has her name in wooden letters on the front.
That sounds like a beautiful alternative! I love the idea of DIYing something to match your decor.
We currently have a shoe box tucked away underneath our stairs filled with dog toys, its over flowing so we definitely need to invest in something else. Thank you for sharing these cute ideas, there’s so many I love!
That is similar to where we were at a few years ago. I had a cute wooden toy box but it wasn’t big enough with 2 large dogs. That meant that it was overflowing and we had a mess almost all the time around the house. I’m so glad that we decided to upgrade to a bigger option.
I use our cupboard. my border collie often next to it and we all know why
They are smart, aren’t they lol
way too smart I think. I used to have one of the shelves of said cupboard for other things but it was super annoying having them all up and ready for toy so we gave it up for toy completely (and it’s for the better considering raising numbers)
Hahaha, I understand the growing numbers ALL too well!
You post about dogs always make me want one. I just know how much a responsibility another pet would be and I really want to wait until my infant son is a bit older before I commit. These are great dog toy storage ideas! I love the wooden bone shaped one!
It’s a sign of how great a dog owner you will be that you can recognize that this isn’t the right time for you and your family.
These are so cute Britt! We had a cute one for our pup like some of the ones you have here, but she shredded it to bits! I think either the metal or wooden one would be the way to go with Ipo. I’d never seen those two options before, so thank you!
Oh no! Sounds like someone wanted to play with the bin as much as the toys inside it (if not more)! I had a wooden toy box for my girl Dav’s toys when she was younger.
What a helpful array of options for storing away dog toys! You are really an expert in pet resources. Keep up the good work.
Thank you!
It’s so easy to end up with loads of pet toys. You always need t make sure you allow plenty of storage space and containers.
They add up and FAST! We were just going through our toy bin recently and weeding out what toys we were keeping because there were too many to fit in their large toy bin.
I am definitely one that prefers to hide the mess and make everything look put away as much as possible – I don’t know what I’ll do when I have my own children, I’m sure my house will look like a bomb has gone off haha!
Rosie
I am the same way! I prefer having the option to tuck things away out of sight.
I love the box idea it seems like a good way of clearing everything quickly!
Right? We just got a new bench style storage bin for our front entryway area. It’s amazing how easily you can tuck things away with them.
These are some great storage ideas for dogs. I am going to share this with my friend who’s a dog mom.
Thank you! I hope that she finds that perfect solution for her home.
Some of this look really cool and chic! I am loving them, specially the white wooden chest as it fits perfect with the rest of my furniture. No more toys on the floor for me to step on it at night !
Isn’t it great how they can fit into your decor so nicely? It turns a big mess into a statement piece!
Any of these are really great options. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you!
These are great storage ideas and they’d be great for cat toys as well, because those can definitely get around the house too! xx
That’s so true, our cats love leaving their toys around everywhere.
We tried baskets but our dog would just get everything out again once it was filled. We ended up with an ottoman in the living room. If he can’t see the toy, then an old one is new again in a few months!
We rotate toys for the same reason – they always feel like they have new toys but we’re not disposing of/buying toys all the time.
These are good storage ideas of toys. I will also share this with my friends with dogs.
Thank you!
OH my – these are so cute. I don’t have any pets but they make me want to get one for the cute “accessories!”
I love that I can take care of the storage needs in our house without taking away from the work that we put into decorating the home.
This is a great post! I have a few ideas for dog toy storage that I will be trying out. Thanks for the inspiration!
