Dog owners looking for a bigger DIY project can look into building something like this indoor rustic dog house with dog toy storage. It’s both unique, and homey.
The built-in storage makes it easy for your dog to have all of their important things (toys, bed) in one place.
5. Fabric Baskets
This is a great solution for multi-dog families, or for gifts.
Each special dog in your life can have their own personalized bin (or you could personalize one bin with all your dog’s names).
These baskets are lightweight with handles making them easy to move around if needed. Plenty of sellers offer these online on Amazon. You can go further, and even add your dog's name(s) (and decals like bones, paws, etc.) yourself.
6. Spot Dog Bone Basket
If you want a unique dog toy storage idea, a basket woven in the shape of a bone is a great statement piece. This fun DIY project can be personalized with details that fit your dog, and if you don’t have the patience to make one it’s pretty easy to find sellers who make them online.
The sturdy metal frame used to weave this basket makes it a nice durable option.
7. Travel Dog Toy Storage Idea
If you’re someone who often travels with your dog, a car organizer might be the perfect way to keep your dog’s favorite toys and other essentials at hand when you’re on the go.
You can find fancy car organizers designed for dogs, but a lot of regular car organizers would work too. This will keep your dog’s toys easy to reach and away from the car floor (or under the seats).
If you’re feeling extra crafty why not sew your own!
8. Wooden Dog Toy Box
If you have some leftover wood from other projects and about an hour of your time - you could build this cute wooden dog toy box with legs. It's wide making your dog’s toys accessible. And, there is plenty of space for their growing collection!

9. Creative Repurposed Galvanized Bucket or Tub
How clever is this?! This DIY storage ottoman is super cute and multi-functional but does require some experience working with upholstery.
It uses a galvanized tub with a lid cushioned and upholstered with water resistant fabric. It keeps your dog's toys hidden and clean when you aren’t outside playing and looks great while doing so.
10. Shop Kids Toy Organizers
Ikea's TROFAST collection and Target's BRIGHTROOM line of toy organizers specifically designed to store toys, supplies and other items are the perfect storage solution to hold a mayhem of dog toys.
They are sleek and minimalist, and will seamlessly fit into any room in your home (without ruining your aesthetic, of course).
