If any of you folks are fellow cat owners, you'll be familiar with the struggle of litter boxes. They're ugly, they smell and... well, for such dignified (read: snobby ) creatures, cats sure can be messy. However, if you've got an indoor cat, litter boxes are a necessary evil.

Until today! Allow me to share 12 super stylish DIY solutions for hiding your cat's litter box... and adding something special to your home decor.

1. IKEA Hacked Cabinet Litter Box Enclosure

Our first hidden litter box craft is an absolute winner. How modern and chic is this locker upgrade? It's a cute addition to any space... but it also completely hides the litter box.

(Plus, we all know what a die-hard fan of IKEA hacks I am!)

How these DIY litter boxes work is that your cat has a little door or hole hidden away on the side of the cabinet that they can sneak in through... but all the messy business is contained within!

And we have another gorgeous thrift flip! I love the dark blue finish on this cabinet; it gives it a more modern vibe. Personally, I would love to pick up an old cabinet from Facebook Marketplace, give it a black finish and get some faux-vintage gold handles.

That's what I love about these curation posts - they just give me so many ideas !

8. Chic Double Decker DIY Hidden Litter Box With Storage - Link

Here's my dirty secret: I love farmhouse décor. Not that there's anything wrong with farmhouse style - but, as someone who lives inner city in Australia, it's probably not quite targeted at me.

That said, I love this double decker litter box enclosure! It's perfectly practical too; one level is for the cat litter box and another is for supplies. What a lovely way to keep your home neat.

9. Easy & Cheap DIY Enclosed Litter Box

10. An Amazing Cat Tree With Built In Litter Box!

Holy hell, I am so in love. Now, this cat tree/litter/ all round amazing project is clearly a winner. If it were easier to recreate, I'd shoot it to number one on this list immediately!

However, this is very much a tricky project that requires a decent bit of woodworking knowledge. So (if you're a bit useless, like me) it might be quite challenging. But if there's anything that would motivate your girl to learn... I think we have found it!

11. Farmhouse Style Cabinet Hidden Litter Enclosure - Link

How quaint is this hidden litter box? I love how it blends into the furniture in the rest of the room perfectly. If it wasn't pointed out, I'd never guess it were cat litter at all!

12. Practical Cat Litter Bench Enclosure - Link

And our last option is perfect for utilising small spaces. It doubles up as a bench and a spacious litter cover. The real draw? The project looks fabulously easy, even for a total newbie like me.

Pop a velvet floor cushion on the top of there and I think this would look fabulous.

Alright, my friends, we have come to the end of this list! I'm obsessed with all of these stylish options... and, more than that, inspired.

Thank you so much for reading! I'm currently in research mode. As I mentioned in my office tour, I'm planning on moving my office into our sunroom. However one of our cat's litter boxes is in there - and naturally, that thing needs disguising!
