Lesson 12 : Wall Elements – Built-In Space Storage
Storage Solutions
Built-ins are a great solution for customizing the space for creating proper storage, eliminating cluttered surfaces. An extend cabinetry or shelving to the ceiling, this works to draw the eye upward making the ceiling feel taller and small spaces feel larger. Building vertical is a smart way to take advantage of underutilized wall space while adding extra storage.
Built in wall unit is not as expensive as many people might believe. These types of units allows one to integrate items and determine the design needs on how to use the wall space. Any built in wall unit is in fact a custom project combining a large variety of materials and features. Depending on particular needs, it may integrate items such as shelving, drawers, workspace and general cabinetry serving personal purposes. Units should adjust to a chosen area and specifications that provide to suit needs.. Some manufacturers may offer stock wall units, which may be transformed into a built in wall unit. This is possible by just requesting a few changes to the existing configuration, such as the choice of the drawers, wood doors or glass panel doors, open shelving or shelf specifics, and even changes to the construction, including pedestal and molding.
A touch of color can make the objects placed on the built in wall unit to stand out. However, the darker the tone, the more wall unit will recede visually, except if the back wall of the unit is the same darker color as the room's walls and paint the shelves and frame in white or lighter colors, and/or install convenient lighting.
