What Are Built-Ins?
Built-ins are custom pieces that are incorporated into the architecture of the home. These structures are not freestanding, they are designed into the specific area and are reinforced to ensure they stay with the home. This prevents the likelihood of furniture falling over or being damaged during a natural disaster. Proper built-ins can be installed during the original construction of the home, however, many bookcases or office shelving can be installed after you have lived in the home.
Benefits Of Customized Built-In Storage
There are numerous reasons why you should choose custom storage options. Built-ins are just one option to help improve the functionality of your home. Cabinets, drawers, bookcases, and built-ins will all of these options can help improve your home.
The biggest benefit of customized storage is space efficiency. One of the reasons homeowners choose built-ins is because they have awkward areas in their home that they feel could be used as storage. Underutilized corners, blank walls, and other dead space can be made into built-in storage.

Bookcases
Built-in bookcases are the most common options when installing built-in storage. Cases with multiple shelves of various sizes can be placed anywhere around the home and provide improved storage. Custom bookcases can go from floor to ceiling or be made to any shape, which is a flexibility you don’t get from premade options.
