Beautiful Built-ins: Stylish & Practical Design Ideas
What is a great way to add character, function, and storage to a room? Built-ins of course! Custom, built-in furniture can make the most of every inch of your home. Built-ins are secured to the wall thus saving the usual few inches required with free standing furniture pieces. Their custom nature makes the options endless and the configurations more flexible for your particular space.
Awkward kitchen nook with no room for a table? Consider banquette seating with storage underneath. No storage for your serving dishes and linens? Add built-in cabinets to your dining room. They can add value and function to almost any room in the house...

It's key to have the right combination of open and closed storage. A window seat between bookcases provides a comfortable spot to read.

The closet doors are so chic! The workspace is nicely integrated and makes the most of a small space.

I love the arched curves and the contrasting grey paint. With the right accessories this would be perfect!

This blue is breathtaking!
Simple, functional, and classic. I'm a sucker for coat hooks!

| Love the clean lines and proportions here. Just enough open storage for easy access and more closed to hide all the office clutter. |
| This built-in banquette provides seating for 4 in a tight kitchen nook. |

| I wish full height cabinets were used more -- such a seamless look. |
| What a cozy library/bedroom! The built-ins turn a small room into an elegant and functional space. |

sixminutestyle Gorgeous photos. We recently added a built-in banquette seat in our kitchen, along with a built in buffet cabinet. Both pieces - in cherry and trimmed in walnut - add so much to the space (both in terms of character and function!). Thanks for the post.

The Welcome Home: Interior Design Solutions These are great ideas. I am not lucky enough to have built-ins. Our solution for our extensive collection of books (and an empty corner) was to buy a set of bookcases that came in different configurations so that they exactly fill the corner. The rich wood tones and massive height (an additional set of caps that we added) always make people take notice and many believe that these are built in. Added benefit, should we ever move, we can take them with us. We saved the floor molding so we can put it back.

Hickory Furniture Mart We're always working with clients helping them maximize their storage and space. These are some great suggestions about how to incorporate double-duty built ins to your most used living paces. Another option is to also include double duty pieces of furniture! We talk about a couple options - http://bit.ly/DoubleDutyFurniture

Sassy Sunshine anyone have more tips for creating the built in look for less? We have a perfect place to put in a built in but it is SO expensive.
