You may watch home renovation shows or house hunting shows where closet space has been added with a renovation, or designed as part of the original build. If you’re planning on home remodeling and want more closet space, but can’t figure out how to make it work without tearing down walls, consider adding built in cabinets. Armoires have been popular in Europe for decades and are becoming popular here. Rather than buying a piece of furniture that won’t exactly fit your space or suit your needs, consider having a cabinet designer come up with a solution that will fit the space perfectly and offer maximim space utilization.
The Beauty of Built-Ins
Built-in cabinets in the bedroom and bathroom, sometimes called armoires, can be configured to your needs and designed to fit your style. As you work with your designer on your home renovation, talk about the different spaces where you could add built-in cabinets. Some great options are between windows or in hallways. If you need to divide a room in two and add storage, consider a built-in cabinet accessible from both sides. Once you pick the location, you can begin designing how it’s going to work for you. Some of the many options for designing your space include shoe cabinets, shelves for sweaters, and hanging space. Your design will ensure the depth of the cabinet and the exterior design match your space and preferences.
The Finished Look
Once the space is chosen and the exterior layout is finalized, you can start designing how it’s going to look. Built-ins can be as plain and non-descript or as ornate as you desire. Our custom cabinet companies can make cabinet doors and drawers in difference species of wood and finishes so that they will coordinate with your bathroom. If you’re looking for something simple, consider hardwood painted or stained. Other options include laminate, beadboard and MDF, any of which you can have matched to coordinate with your decor.
Once you’ve chosen a design and finish, don’t forget the hardware. Pulls and knobs for cabinets and drawers can be ornate or plain and really finish the piece, especially if you want it to look like furniture.
