This client’s vision for their kitchen/hearth room remodel was to create a harmonious space for gathering and socializing with family and friends. Without the before and after photos, you would scarcely believe this was the same home.

Plumbing, flooring, electrical wiring, custom cabinets, structural engineering, appliances, windows, interior and exterior doors, entertainment and more.

The client was interested in new appliance technology, cabinetry to the ceiling, and an Island large enough to seat 3. They also wanted a built-in breakfast nook, improved pantry space, more functional storage on either side of their fireplace, and a built-in appearance for the TV above the mantel. The original built-in desk was not used, and they preferred for that space to serve as a small bar area with refrigeration and a place to store their printer. We designed several plans for the space before selecting the final layout.
The new design required the removal of the soffit over the old sink, as well as a small wall beside the old refrigerator. The wall beside the stairwell had to be shortened 13 inches and a new beam installed to carry the load of the home’s 2nd story to gain enough space for the large central island. The existing closet pantry walls were also reconfigured as per the new plan.
This serves as a great reminder that Dimensions In Wood is much more than just custom cabinets.
Central to the entire custom kitchen is an 8-foot Walnut island. The huge island, which comfortably seats three, is topped with Essenza Blue quartzite. The stone’s natural striations are beautiful. Quartzite is harder than granite, and less likely to stain than other stones because of its density. The couple had to look through multiple slabs to find a piece they LOVED. The island’s custom Walnut cabinetry, built to resemble a piece of custom furniture, was stained Bronzed Walnut by Sherwin Williams.
The 4-foot Galley Workstation in the island, handles all the kitchen’s prep, serving, and cleanup needs. The Galley’s culinary tools include an upper tier cutting board, upper tier drying rack, 2 lower tier platforms, 11″ colander with non-slip handles, and 11” mixing bowl with lid and non-slip bottom. Learn more about the amazing Galley Workstation here. A Waterstone gantry faucet in a pewter finish combines a pull-down sprayer for maximum mobility and a articulated swivel spout. A water tap with reverse osmosis filter provides the highest quality drinking water. To keep a clean and sleek counter we installed a raised air switch for the garbage disposal and integrated soap dispenser. The island also houses the Thermador Sapphire 7-Program Dishwasher with a hidden touch control panel and a custom Walnut wood front. The cabinetry under the Galley Workstation features a trash roll out, as well as storage for the culinary tools.
Shortening the stairwell wall, and reframing around the stairs, which included shortening the handrail, also made room for a bi-fold door walk-in pantry with extra roll out storage and space for a small microwave. Above the panty doors is a remote controlled, electric motor powered, lift up cabinet door which hides a flat screen TV, used while the family is cooking.
To the right of the walk-in pantry is cold food storage. The Thermador, 30-inch Freedom Collection refrigerator and 24-inch built-in freezer column with internal ice maker are covered with matching cabinetry fronts. An open display space was designed above the units, creating an aesthetically beautiful wall. To the right of the refrigerator & freezer columns is a tall cabinet designed for the built-in Thermador steam and convection oven. The convention steam oven is a relatively new technology for homes, but its versatility and food quality is amazing. To the right of this is a pull-out appliance pantry which provides easy access and storage for a stand mixer, blender, and any other appliance you do not want to clutter the counter.
The most visible wall of the kitchen features the 36-inch Thermador Professional Series Harmony Gas Range with Griddle. Between the range and custom designed wood hood, a framed mosaic tile accent in the backsplash, creates a focal point. To clear the air, the Professional Series Thermador 42-inch ventilation insert provides excellent exhaust capabilities, as well as providing multi-level, vivid LED lights for beautiful illumination.
The wall cabinetry symmetrically flanks the custom hood, utilizing deeper wall cabinetry on each end, allowing for storage of oversized dishware. The base cabinetry on this wall is made up of drawers, except for the corner, which is a Kesseböhmer LeMans II. This specially designed shelf system allows ease of access in underutilized blind corners. The dual action articulation system with soft close mechanism ensures a smooth open and close.
Rounding the corner to the outside wall, the base cabinetry was built to a narrower depth, providing additional space for the island, as well as easier access to the new larger pass-thru window which serves the screen porch. The client selected Black Vermont granite countertops with an ogee edge to contrast the Linen White painted cabinetry.
The door to the screen porch was replaced with a Marvin Exterior Door with a raised panel at the bottom of the 3⁄4 glass door.
Marvin Windows replaced the other windows in the space increasing the energy efficiency and value of the home. To establish the breakfast nook, a bench with drawers and an upholstered seat was built into the bay area of the room.
Custom bookshelves were built with open shelves, cabinet doors, and drawers on either side of the fireplace. A new stone hearth and fireplace surround were installed. Above the existing mantel we built a recessed space for the flat screen television hiding all wiring inside the walls for a completely clean look.
The space that was once a desk was transformed into a bar area. The glass shelves and glass cabinet front liquor cabinet stand out. But this bar area has hidden secrets. Tucked beneath the black granite is a Thermador under-counter double drawer refrigerator with matching wood front panels. They blend in perfectly with the cabinets. A wireless printer is easily accessed on a slide out drawer. Plus, what looks like merely wooden panels on the wall are concealing recessed storage for more bottles and glasses!
Overhead recessed lighting and speaker system provide illumination and entertainment through the entire space.
This luxury home had original, solid oak flooring through most of the first floor which the homeowner obviously wanted to keep but were in desperate need of repair and refinishing. Our master craftsmen wove in new wood flooring to match the old where needed, particularly where walls had been changed and where the floor was damaged. We sanded the floors, smoothing away years of wear and tear. The entire wood floor was then uniformly stained, making it impossible to differentiate where any repairs were made.

The clients requested not only a remodeled basement featuring a guest bedroom and bathroom but, more importantly, a superb, temperature-controlled wine cellar to safely store 900 bottles. Every detail was meticulously planned, as maintaining a consistent temperature was essential for proper wine aging. The instrumental cooling system played a crucial role in the project’s design, ensuring optimal storage conditions. Each element was carefully considered to protect the integrity of the clients’ prized wine collection. Ultimately, the result was a spectacular space that not only preserves the collection but also serves as a celebration of fine wine.

A 1927 colonial home in Shaker Heights, Ohio, received a breathtaking renovation that required extensive work, transforming it from a tucked away, utilitarian space, to an all-purpose gathering room, a role that most kitchens embrace in a home today. The scope of work changed over the course of the project, starting more minimalistically and then quickly becoming the main focus of the house's remodeling, resulting in a staircase being relocated and walls being torn down to create an inviting focal point to the home where family and friends could connect. The focus of the functionality was to allow for multiple prep areas with the inclusion of two islands and sinks, two eating areas (one for impromptu snacking and small meals of younger family members and friends on island no. two and a built-in bench seat for everyday meals in the immediate family). The kitchen was equipped with all Subzero and Wolf appliances, including a 48" range top with a 12" griddle, two double ovens, a 42" built-in side by side refrigerator and freezer, a microwave drawer on island no. one and a beverage center and icemaker in island no. two. The aesthetic feeling embraces the architectural feel of the home while adding a modern sensibility with the revamped layout and graphic elements that tie the color palette of whites, chocolate and charcoal. The cabinets were custom made and outfitted with beaded inset doors with a Shaker panel frame and finished in Benjamin Moore's OC-17 White Dove, a soft white that allowed for the kitchen to feel warm while still maintaining its brightness. Accents of walnut were added to create a sense of warmth, including a custom premium grade walnut countertop on island no. one from Brooks Custom and a TV cabinet with a doggie feeding station beneath. Bringing the cabinet line to the 8'6" ceiling height helps the room feel taller and bold light fixtures at the islands and eating area add detail to an otherwise simpler ceiling detail. The 1 1/4" countertops feature Calacatta Gold Marble with an ogee edge detail. Special touches on the interiors include secret storage panels, an appliance garage, breadbox, pull-out drawers behind the cabinet doors and all soft-close hinges and drawer glides. A kneading area was made as a part of island no. one for the homeowners' love of baking, complete with a stone top allowing for dough to stay cool. Baskets beneath store kitchen essentials that need air circulation. The room adjacent to the kitchen was converted to a hearth room (from a formal dining room) to extend the kitchen's living space and allow for a natural spillover for family and guests to spill into.

A coffee table is often the centerpiece of a living room, where family members gather to relax, entertain, and even work. Beyond its decorative role, a coffee table must also serve a functional purpose—holding beverages, snacks, or remote controls, and providing storage for books, magazines, or other essentials. This is where a coffee table with drawers shines. Combining practicality with style, these tables offer an elegant solution for keeping your living space organized while maintaining a chic aesthetic.
In this article, we’ll explore why a coffee table with drawers is a great choice for your home, discuss the different types available, and highlight some of the top options on the market today.
Why Choose a Coffee Table with Drawers?
Hidden Storage for a Clutter-Free Space
One of the most significant benefits of a coffee table with drawers is the hidden storage it provides. Whether it’s storing remote controls, extra coasters, TV guides, or even blankets, these drawers help you keep things organized without cluttering the surface of the table. This is especially useful in smaller living rooms or for people who like to keep their space tidy but need easy access to everyday items.
Maximizes Functionality
Coffee tables with drawers make the most of the space you have. If you’re working in a living area with limited storage, a table with built-in compartments allows you to declutter while still having a practical surface for holding drinks, snacks, or decorative objects. You get the best of both worlds—storage and functionality.
Versatility in Design
Coffee tables with drawers come in various styles and materials, meaning you can find one that perfectly complements your existing décor. Whether your taste leans toward modern, rustic, vintage, or industrial, there’s a coffee table out there that matches your vision. The added drawers often enhance the design, making them as stylish as they are practical.
Family-Friendly
Homes with children or pets can especially benefit from a coffee table with drawers. The hidden storage means that small, easily lost, or dangerous items (like pens, batteries, or scissors) can be tucked away safely. Plus, having a designated storage space can encourage tidiness in a household with busy family members.
Easy Organization
With drawers built into the coffee table, organizing your living room essentials becomes much easier. You can designate specific drawers for particular items (e.g., one for remotes, one for books, and one for magazines). This structured approach to storage reduces clutter and helps maintain an organized space.
Types of Coffee Tables with Drawers
Traditional Coffee Tables with Drawer Storage
These are classic designs with a set of drawers either on one side of the table or underneath the tabletop. They are often made from wood, offering a timeless appeal. You can find them in various wood finishes like oak, walnut, or mahogany, and they typically feature simple, clean lines.
Modern Coffee Tables with Drawer Storage
Modern coffee tables often feature sleek, minimalist designs with hidden drawers. They may include touches like glass tops, metallic legs, or smooth lacquered finishes. These tables focus on both aesthetics and practicality, offering ample storage without compromising on style.
Lift-Top Coffee Tables with Storage
For additional versatility, lift-top coffee tables combine the functionality of a regular coffee table with an elevated work surface. The top of the table lifts to reveal hidden storage beneath, while the surface can be used for eating, writing, or working. These tables often come with built-in drawers for even more organization options.
Storage Ottoman Coffee Tables
These hybrid pieces combine the cushioned comfort of an ottoman with the utility of a coffee table. Many storage ottomans come with a hinged top and internal compartments, while some models incorporate drawers along the sides. They are ideal for people who prefer a softer, more comfortable table but still need practical storage solutions.
Industrial Coffee Tables with Drawers
Industrial-style coffee tables use materials like metal and reclaimed wood, offering a rugged yet functional design. Often, these tables feature metal frames with wooden drawers or compartments. The utilitarian design makes them ideal for urban and loft-style interiors.

Tips for Styling a Coffee Table with Drawers
Keep the Top Clear for a Polished Look
While the drawers are perfect for storing smaller items, try to keep the surface of your coffee table relatively clear. Use a decorative tray, vase, or a stack of books to add style without creating clutter.
Use the Drawers for Hidden Storage
Use the drawers to store everyday essentials like remotes, magazines, or even small toys or blankets. This helps keep your living space organized without sacrificing style.
Coordinate with Other Furniture
To create a cohesive look, choose a coffee table that complements your other furniture pieces. If you have a sectional sofa, for example, consider a coffee table with a similar wood finish or metal accents.
Conclusion
A coffee table with drawers combines the best of both worlds—style and functionality. Not only does it serve as a central piece of furniture in your living room, but it also helps you keep your space organized and clutter-free. Whether you choose a modern, traditional, or industrial design, there’s a coffee table with drawers to suit your style and meet your storage needs. From hidden compartments for remotes to extra shelves for books and decorative items, these tables are a practical, stylish solution for any home.
