Built-in furniture can change the entire appearance of a room and the entire atmosphere of a home. Most well-built, high end homes have built-in furniture because it lends any room a sense of seamless customization with a sophisticated look that other furniture, no matter how expensive, just can’t achieve.
It’s exactly what it sounds like; furniture that is built into the space of the wall instead of free-standing against the wall. This maximizes space, adds storage, and brings a sense of refined style into your home. Imagine the possibilities for build-in bookshelves, fireplace mantels, hutches, media storage, armoires, bars, and entertainment centers.
- According to Architect Sarah Susanka, a 2,300 square foot home with a great deal of built-in furniture will cost nearly as much to purchase as a standard 4,000 square foot home. That’s how much value built-in furniture can add to your resale value! Home buyers are usually looking for a new home that feels unique and speaks to them. Built-in furniture can be that game changer.
- Built-ins give you an enormous amount of storage to take advantage of in creative and design-savvy ways. If you have an entertainment and shelving center than spans the length of an entire wall, floor to ceiling, you’ll have plenty of lower shelving to store movies, electronics, and more day-to-day items, while the top shelves can be designated for elegant decorations, pictures, and indoor plants.
- Built-ins give you the options for really neat lighting! You can install small lights at the top of each shelf to shine down on that shelf’s contents. It creates a gorgeous effect that makes the fancy built-in shelves look even more distinguished. Lighting also creates a homey, cozy feeling. You’ll have a home that you love to spend time in, and your guests will be very impressed!
