My new house doesn’t have any built ins, but eventually I’d love to add some. I think built in shelving, benches, bookshelves and cabinetry not only add a lot of storage but pump up the character as well.
I do love freestanding furniture, but built ins give everything a streamlined solid feeling that I really like. I especially love banquettes and window seats!
I am busy unpacking (yay, the movers came!) so while I am getting settled, enjoy these photos for “built in inspiration!”
I am totally addicted to having bookshelves everywhere. I would love to have a floor to ceiling bookshelf, and then the one you have in your post with the under stairs bookshelf. I’d be in heaven! I read about 3 books a week!
