Built-ins, are they in or are they out? In many instances, built-ins serve as the best choice to maximize space while others may argue they restrict versatility and flexibility. Regardless, built-ins serve a functional purpose and built well, can create a long lasting, space saving option.
Looking to integrate built-ins into your home? Here are some top tips.
- Hire a professional millworker or cabinet maker. Built-ins are custom and require proper measuring to ensure flawless execution.
- Consider laminate instead of wood if on a budget. Laminate as a cabinet face option is more affordable than wood and comes in a variety of colors and textures.
- Mix and match. Instead of opting for only cabinets, consider mixing cabinetry with shelving.
- Pair different textures. A current trend in millwork is to blend different textures in the same space, such as pairing wood with lacquer, either matte or glossy.
- Add a bit of bling. Highlight your built-ins with decorative hardware such as knobs or handles.
