Incorporating built-in cabinetry throughout your home with Kraftmaid cabinetry banner

Installing built-in cabinetry throughout the home is one of the most popular remodeling projects for homeowners. Built-ins are not only an extremely practical form of storage; they give the home a beautiful and high-end appearance. There are many tutorials online for “faking” the built-in look with prefabricated cabinets or freestanding bookcases, but nothing can match the quality and craftsmanship of the real thing. See the endless possibilities of using cabinets in more rooms than just your kitchen and bathrooms. Consider the following most popular spaces in the home to utilize built-in cabinetry.

Living Spaces

Living rooms and family rooms are a wonderful place to utilize built-in cabinetry and bookshelves. HGTV states, “Built-in cabinetry can bring order to your living room, transforming it from a simple blank slate to a creatively curated exhibition. No longer plain walls with a window here and a door there, the space takes on a new dimension: foreground and background, storage space that closes up and display space that attracts the eye.” We love the floor to ceiling built-ins below that maximize every inch of square footage while enhancing storage and style at the same time.

Dining Room

Beautiful built-ins are at home in the dining room. From housing and displaying china to barware, we love open glass front cabinetry in dining areas. These cabinets give the appearance of an antique hutch, expertly displaying fine china with drawers below for flatware and serve ware. Our favorite design aspect of this space is how the built-ins coordinate with the custom fireplace. What a stunning focal point!

Office and Craft Rooms

The office, study, and craft rooms are the perfect place for cabinetry. Custom built-ins will provide a space for all documents, craft materials, and office supplies. This office space has a charging station for technology, a bulletin board, built-in bookshelves, and a shelf for the home phone and office supplies. When it comes to mail and documents, it’s important to have a place for everything and everything in its place.

Mudroom

Better Homes and Gardens advises, “Cut down on entryway clutter by giving each family member a personalized drop zone for coats, hats, bags, and more.” This built-in mudroom unit has a space that will corral everything from coats and jackets to shoes and bags. We love the combination of open and closed storage for ease of use but still enough hidden storage to keep the mudroom looking effortlessly tidy.
