Hello, my husband and I bought a smaller builder grade home 4 years ago in Edmonton, Canada. It was not what I would have chosen but it was what we could afford (I'm grateful to be able to have a home really). The house is open plan which is not my favourite but it is good for our needs, especially now with a 2 year old boy. The kitchen opens to a small living room and there's a dining room space to the right off the kitchen. I would like to maximize space by building cabinets on the wall where the tv is now, either by hiring a professional or having my husband do it (he's very handy) . the thing is, there are 2 narrow windows on that wall and I haven't been able to find lots of designs around 2 windows. The windows are also low which make it hard to do a bank of doors without covering at least a bottom portion. Oh and about a year or 2 after we took possession we realized that the wall width on both sides at each end is not the same, one space is shorter than the other (facepalm) . My idea is to do cabinets around the windows and leave a space in the middle for the tv.

Can anyone tell me if it's a good idea to still go ahead and do built in cabinets (or the look of built in cabinets) in that wall? or should I scrap off that idea and do a cabinet on the other wall to the left? That wall has a triangular cut off space where the stairs go so anything I build there would have to follow that slant.

Sorry, I don't know what to do.
