Built in furniture always makes a home look custom. From bookcases around a fireplace to bench seating under a window, they combine storage and style.
Unlike freestanding furniture, built ins maximize awkward corners and unused walls. They also add resale value since buyers see them as permanent features.
While they cost more than shelves from a store the impact is worth it. Even small DIY built ins with plywood and trim can elevate a space.
Final thought: Built ins are both practical and beautiful. Where would you add one in your home?
