A Gallery of Design
Ideas for the Home by Jim Tolpin
Here are some of the best
examples of built-in furniture and cabinetry for nearly every room
in the house. Jim Tolpin treats you to a room-by-room survey of
unique design solutions and strategies that you can use to add
functional and delightful built-ins to your home.
Built-in furnishings
offer many advantages over freestanding furniture: They are generally
less expensive to build than stand-alone furniture of the same
type and size. They give you great latitude in designing the
look and function of your interior spaces -- you are not limited
to designing around existing furniture pieces. And because of
the manner in which built-in furnishings are constructed, you
can maximize the use of the most unusual spaces while creating
an effective and aesthetically pleasing design solution.
