26 Chic and Stylish Cat Room Ideas for Any Space and Budget

If you’re a cat parent, chances are nothing gives you more joy than indulging your fur baby. And what better way to indulge your cats than by giving them a fun room to call their own?

The good news is that cats don’t need large amounts of space so you can create a dedicated area for your kitty even in a tiny corner of a room.

But if space is plenty, you can convert an entire room into a cat-approved playground.

Take a look at these chic and playful cat rooms that will delight you and your fur babies.

Carve Out a Cat Nook

This little kitty has her own tiny living room created in a nook of her owner's living space.

Jen from @ikissedapurl even decorated it with cat-themed wall art and don’t miss the cute little seasonal decor touches.

Make a Playroom

If you’re lucky enough to have an entire room for your furry friends, why not create a playroom like Ange from @foongfamilyflat did.

Not only do the kitties have plenty of play opportunities with slides, tunnels and scratchers but the room also houses all their necessities.

DIY a Cat Tree

If budget and space are limited, a simple DIY cat tree may be the answer.

YouTuber Paws & Paradise created one that not only gave the cats a climbing, scratching, and perching space in one, but it’s also a simple enough piece to fit in with any style of decor.

Create a Themed Room

Our human babies often have themed bedrooms so why can’t our fur babies have one too?

The team at Divine Creatures turned this narrow space into a romantic Paris-themed room complete with a view of the Eiffel Tower.

Use a Doorway

As long as you have an empty wall in any room of your home, you can create some climbing fun for your cats.

Kate from Haus Panther made an industrial-style climbing wall with pipes, shelves, and scratching posts all around a doorway.

Build a Cat Castle

Using cardboard boxes, Redditor Puzius created a perfectly formed mini castle for Guppy, their cat.

It includes a cozy bed, climbing steps, and a tiny tunnel.

Depending on space, you could take this idea and create as big or small of a cat castle as you wanted.

Create a Cozy Corner

Most of us have a relaxing corner in our living spaces so why not add a small scratching tower with a relaxing perch for your cat too, like Priscilla from @styledbypt did?

You can both spend time together while doing what you each love.

Hang Some Wallpaper

Stella’s owners Kelsey & Ryan from Newbuild Newlyweds created a bedroom for her from a tiny sliver of space in between some closets.

The space may not be big in size but it’s definitely big in style.

Make a Personalized House

Turn a cardboard box into a little house for your cat just like the blogger behind Happiness is Homemade did.

To make it extra special, personalize it with their name and decorate the inside and the outside so it feels extra cozy and welcoming.

Customize Your Furniture

When you really don’t have any extra space, but you still want to indulge your furry friend, try adapting a piece of existing furniture.

Eileen from @etloves1982 cleverly hacked her bookshelf to create a scratching post and placed a relaxing bed on top.

Design a Mini Living Room

Redditor oishicat's lucky feline not only has her own living room but it’s so luxe too.

It includes a tiny gold coffee table, pink sofa, crystal lamp, and even a self-portrait for decoration.

What more could any kitty cat want?

Make Room for Two

If you’ve got a pair of cats that love being together, a kitty bunk bed could be perfect.

It takes hardly any room, and it gives them each their own space to chill out in, while still being close together.

Katie from Runs for Cookies even added in some stairs for a bit of climbing action.

Hang Up Some Shelves

It’s no secret that cats love to climb but they don’t need fancy cat furniture to do this.

Summer from Simple Stylings hung up some regular shelves on a wall and added a few toys into the mix.

The result is a perfect cat oasis without spending much time or expense.

Make an Entertainment Center

Got a spare wall? Turn it into a wall of fun for your cats.

Add different-sized boxes, mini bridges, scratching posts, and anything else you know your cats will love.

Redditor VHopearmy even added a glass bowl for her viewing pleasure.

Blend It in

If you don’t want your cat's playground to clash with your decor, make your cat wall a part of your decor like Jill from @jillsjunglecats did.

These wooden shelves and sisal scratching posts blend in perfectly in this nature-themed corner of her living room.

Give Them a TV

Apparently, some cats enjoy watching TV—especially nature-themed shows.

If that sounds like your cat, why not make them their own TV room like the people behind Cat Therapy did?

These cats also have plenty of other stimulation should they tire of the big screen.

Find a Spare Corner

This lucky cat has her own bedroom complete with mini furniture. Her owner went all in with wall decor, rugs, and even cat-sized bolster pillows.

Luckily, you don’t need much space to create a kitty bedroom like this one by Instagrammer @sadmouthsam

Wall Mount a Big Playground

If you really want to spoil your fur baby, go big with a wall-to-wall cat playground.

But don’t stop at one wall, use all the walls like the blogger behind Cat Lady Alley did.

Her cats have room to relax, climb, scratch, and eat in their large playground.

Make Room for Feline Friends

When both budget and space are on the bigger side, make a playroom large enough for your cat and their friends.

Priscilla from @styledbypt did just that by turning a whole room into a cat playground with enough entertainment to keep multiple cats busy.

Go Wild With an Animal Theme

A wild animal themed room is a great idea for your four-legged friend especially since you can pick your favorite animal.

The people behind Divine Creatures opted for a zebra themed room, complete with stripy bedding and an over-sized zebra artwork.

Create a Cat Jungle

Cats love spending time outdoors so why not bring the outside in with a playful cat jungle?

Add lots of plants and lots of climbing posts like Instagrammer @rioccd28 did for her cats.

Keep It Small and Simple

Not every cat room has to be big and elaborate. As long as your precious pets have a space to relax and play, they’ll be happy.

The Instagrammer behind @british_fluffs turned a little corner of her home into a happy cat haven.

Don’t miss the mini toy basket housing the cats’ toys.

DIY Some Shelves

If space is limited, it doesn’t mean your furry friends need to miss out on fun. Turn any narrow wall into a cat climbing and perching space.

Instagrammer @annikamarieee did just that by diying some shelves and covering them with a fluffy towel to make it extra cozy for her kitty.

A Bed With a View

Cats love to view their surroundings from high above the rest of us.

While cat bunk beds are a great idea, cat bunk beds hung high up are even better.

Add a ramp or some stairs not only for access to the beds but for some climbing fun too.

You can DIY the mini beds like Redditor Oldtarwater did or you can buy doll beds instead.

Create a Corner Retreat

If space is at a premium, consider going high instead of wide with your cat retreat.

Reddit user COBA89 made a tall scratching post with some shelves on the sides.

The shelves not only house plants but are perfect for climbing too.

Make a Mini Version of Your Living Room

Lauren from @everyday_olive created a stylish living room for her cats, in the decor style of her home.

She also went the extra mile by crocheting a sofa cover, blanket, and mini-throw cushions.

The finishing touches of a tiny coffee table, armchair, plants, and artwork make this the most stylish cat living room ever.
