Built-in furniture has a way of totally transforming a home’s atmosphere. It’s sophisticated, attractive, and impressive, which makes built-in pieces the perfect investment for the new design of your favorite room. Of course, one of the most exciting parts about built-in furniture is that it can be constructed in any way imaginable. Talk to your contractor and see if any of these ideas could work in your home.
Around the Door Frame
If you have a wide door frame, like one between the hallway and the study, you could outline the entire frame in a bookcase. It would go up the left side, over across the top of the frame, and down the other side. With shelves at various depths and distances along the way, you can use the framed built-in to display your favorite books, collectables, and picture frames. This eye-catching floor-to-ceiling design will change your office into a legitimate “study.”
Glass Doors
An entertainment center can help bring your family room together and create a more cohesive look. Instead of books, toys, picture, and decor scattered across the room or stuffed into storage containers, you can spread everything out in a built-in entertainment center with glass doors. The doors offer a much more sophisticated look, and even average trinkets look a bit more attractive behind the glass. Consider a built-in entertainment center with a section for your TV atop a coffee table-height stand with drawers for storage, three skinny glass doors on either side of the TV, and a horizontal shelf running above the TV to connect the glass door cabinets closest to the TV.
Wall Climbing
If you want a built-in design that’s totally unique and funky, opt for built-in shelves that climb the wall in a connected fashion. The first built-in will only be a foot or two high, and each will rise incrementally until the final built-in along an adjacent wall reaches the ceiling. This is a stunning look that everyone will agree is simply eye-catching.
