Every home needs storage. If you are working with a home builder, adding built-in shelves is a great way to ensure every room in your new house has enough places for necessities and decor. Here are five benefits of adding this concept to your design today.

Reasons to Add Build-In Shelves

1. Optimize Space

While conventional bookshelves do come in handy, a built-in shelve clears floor space, which can easily open up a smaller space or help free up a home gym so you have more room to move. Built-in shelving also helps make a wasted area more functional, like a narrow hallway or corner where furniture will not fit well.

2. Customize Design

Home builders can design your built-in shelves to suit your personal needs. Every installation can be made to fit any length, width, or height requirements. You can also customize the shelves to suit whatever items you plan on storing there. In addition, home builders can take an irregular space and craft shelving to make it functional.

3. Add Flair

Shelving is not just for storage. Shelves can display art and more to spruce up any room. Accessories go a long way and can easily tie a room together, especially when your pieces include colors and textures that complement your interior design. You can also use shelving as a focal point over a sofa or other piece of furniture.

4. Organize the Area

The more shelving you have the easier it is to organize. This is especially true for rooms like kitchens and play rooms where items need to be accessible but adding more furniture or storage containers will only create clutter.

5. Include Doors

Built-in shelving can be open or closed off, depending on how much you want seen in each room. Adding a door can mask items you do not want on display. If you do want some seen but need protection, class doors over built-in shelving will safeguard items on each level.
