How many times have you thought to yourself, “I wish I were more organized,” or, “I wish I had more usable space”? Most people who have bought a house rather than built one feel exactly this way at least once after moving in. It never seems that rooms have enough closet space or the right type of storage space to meet our needs. This is where custom built-in cabinets can be very beneficial. Here are three more ways to use them.
Custom built-in cabinets are a great option in a den, study, or office where you want to display a myriad of books, maps, and knick-knacks, and store office supplies and equipment conveniently, but out of sight. While you could get bookcases or other shelving to meet these needs, getting custom built-in cabinets allows you a lot more freedom to organize and display as you truly desire.
| Storage Need | Cabinet Solution |
|---|---|
| Books and maps | Floor-to-ceiling shelving with adjustable heights |
| Office supplies | Closed cabinets with drawers and dividers |
| Equipment | Cabinets with ventilation and cable management |
| Display items | Glass-front cabinets with interior lighting |
| Files and documents | Deep drawers with hanging file systems |
| Reading nook | Built-in window seat with storage below |
Many people have collections of something or another. Because everyone’s tastes are unique and people collect different things, the mass-manufactured display options may not always be what you are looking for. If you have a unique collection, you can get custom built-in cabinets that will display the collection proudly in an organized and flattering way.
| Collection Type | Cabinet Solution |
|---|---|
| Figurines and models | Glass-front cabinets with adjustable shelving |
| Coins and stamps | Shallow drawers with felt lining |
| Art and prints | Display shelving with picture lighting |
| Vintage items | Open shelving with accent lighting |
| Sports memorabilia | Custom display cases with UV protection |
| Antiques | Climate-controlled cabinets |
