If you want to reduce clutter and maximize space in your house, hire a carpenter to install built-in storage. The fixtures can accommodate all of your storage needs in a wide range of styles while making your home sleeker. Learn more about the options in the guide below.

Benefits of Built-In Storage

Built-in cabinetry offers additional storage space, making it ideal for homes with limited space. For instance, if you have an empty corner in your living room where furniture can’t fit well, install built-in cabinets in that spot to store extra blankets, pillows, and other furnishings.

Built-in cabinets are also highly customizable. Whether you want a particular color, finish, style, or door handle, you can design the exact cabinet you want. For example, if your goal is to make the kitchen more open, install cabinetry with glass fronts. The transparent doors will make the room seem larger, plus you’ll locate your dishes and glassware faster.

Built-in cabinets can even save you money. Because they can be customized to fit in any room’s layout, you don’t have to spend money on a complete remodel.

Types of Built-In Storage

Cabinets

Built-in cabinets can be installed in any room in your home, from your kitchen to living room, and come in various sizes. For example, you might install smaller cabinetry above a desk in your home office or the bathroom vanity. Bigger cabinetry can house a flat-screen TV in your family room.

Shelves

Built-in shelves can keep your belongings secure and improve organization. Whether you have a carpenter add built-in shelves to your child’s room or your closet, items that used to create clutter on the floor will now have designated places.

The depth of your shelves will depend on the type of items you want store. For instance, a shelf 18 inches deep is ideal for storing children’s toys, while a depth of 9 inches works best for DVDs.

Bench

If you need extra seating in your home and storage for your items, install a bench with drawers or cabinets underneath. For instance, you can install a bench in your kitchen to provide seats for guests and storage underneath for extra tablecloths and appliances. Ask your carpenter to make the bench at least 4 feet long and 16 inches high so adults can fit comfortably on it.
