Are the kids’ wardrobes overflowing? Are the drawers of your desk spilling over with paperwork? Does the thought of Christmas or birthdays fill you with dread? Simply can’t seem to find enough storage space in your home? The good news is that, with custom built-in cabinets, you can transform your home from cluttered to chic! These cabinets are a great way to give your home a more cohesive look whilst at the same time providing ample storage.
With the 5 tips we have outlined below, you can use custom built-in cabinets to minimise clutter and maximise space in your home:
- Install Open Shelving
No matter what room you want to reduce clutter in, from the kitchen or study to the lounge or bedrooms, the addition of open shelving is a fantastic solution. Shelves can break up the wall and add a splash of the unexpected, particularly when combined with cabinets. Shelves are a great place to show off beautiful dishes, store recipe books and provide access to items that you might use on a regular basis.
- Add Storage to Kitchen Islands
If you like to bake or cook a lot, you probably have a lot of kitchen tools and utensils that simply don’t fit in standard cabinets. Oversizes pots, deep fryers, griddles and mixers are just some of the items that we have found people struggle to store neatly. If your kitchen has been blessed with an island bench, you can add some storage in the cavity that enable you to store away all of these items with ease.
- Customise Your Dream Wardrobe
The wardrobes are one area of the home that seem to be neglected the most, which means they’re often cluttered and over-packed. By installing some built-in cabinets, you’ll be able to design the wardrobe of your dreams plus ensure that there is a place for everything. This is true of both built-in and walk-in wardrobes, although the approach you take for designing either will depend on how much space you have.
- 4. Hide Storage with Half Walls
If your home has more of an open-plan concept, it’s likely that there are a few half walls to divvy up the space. Why not put these half walls to good use by installing some cabinets on them? If there is a wall separating the kitchen and the lounge room, it can be a great space for storing party platters and other items for entertaining. Having cabinets on either side is a great way to add style to both rooms.
- Customise Your Entertainment Centre
If you want a cohesive look for your lounge or rumpus room, a custom cabinet design that also serves as an entertainment centre could be just what you’ve been searching for. You will be able to easily organise and store DVDs or Blu-Rays, games consoles and associated games, DVD players, set top boxes and even hide away the wiring. The space can also be used to store board games and other knickknacks.
No matter where you need extra storage, custom built-in cabinets are sure to be just the solution you have been looking for. From the kitchen and dining room to the lounge and bedrooms – not to mention all the rooms in between – there is no solution that better ticks all of your boxes. Just ensure that you have employed the services of an expert cabinetmaker to ensure that the design complements the rest of your home and that the storage is long lasting.
