10 Modern Cat Litter Boxes That Hide in Plain Sight

As much as we adore our feline family members, their litter boxes can be major eyesores in your home. "We live in a small apartment," explains Tuft + Paw founder Jackson Cunningham. "When we rescued our own cat, we realized it was pretty much impossible to find cat furniture that met the standard of things we wanted in our space."

Fortunately, with a little digging, you'll uncover an assortment of modern litter boxes on the market that were designed to fit seamlessly into your décor scheme. "Most cat owners have gotten used to the idea that an ugly litter box is a necessary evil and have accepted that it's something that needs to be tucked away in a corner or closet," Cunningham says. "We felt like any object in your home, regardless of its purpose, deserves to be designed with intention. Most people are interacting with their litter box every day, so having a thoughtful design can make a huge difference."

Of course, a thoughtfully designed litter box should be more than attractive; it should make the otherwise tough job of kitty cleanup a breeze. "The most important factor of a well-designed litter box is that it's easy to clean," Cunningham says. "Look for ones with simple, clean lines—that don't stray unnecessary bits of litter."
