Functional Features: Built-In Options
Audra Siburt • January 19, 2025

When designing your dream home or reimagining your current space, built-in features can be a game-changer. These thoughtful, functional, and stylish additions not only elevate the overall design but also help maximize space and organization. Whether you're building a custom home or renovating, exploring built-in options can spark ideas to truly make the space your own.

Built-In Features to Consider


1. Mudroom Lockers and Cubbies

Transform a high-traffic area into a tidy, organized space with custom lockers and cubbies. Perfect for keeping coats, shoes, and bags in order, these built-ins can include hooks, drawers, or even a bench for added convenience.

2. Office Shelving and Desks

Whether you work from home or need a quiet spot for bills and homework, built-in desks and shelves make any office space functional and visually appealing. Add accents like wallpaper or lighting to create a workspace that inspires productivity.

3. Kitchen Spice Drawers and Pantry Storage

Built-in spice racks and pantry organizers keep your cooking essentials within easy reach while maintaining a clutter-free aesthetic. These features are especially helpful for keeping small items neat and accessible.

Why Choose Built-In Features?

Built-ins not only add style and functionality but also increase the long-term value of your home. They make the most of unused spaces and create a cohesive design that feels tailored to your lifestyle.


Start with a Purpose: Think about how you use the space and what would make it more functional.

Focus on Materials and Finishes:  Built-ins are a lasting part of your home, so choose high-quality materials that match your overall design.

Incorporate Personal Touches:  Customization allows you to match your unique needs and style, from decorative shelving to hidden storage.


If you're considering built-in features for your new home or renovation, it helps to work with professionals who can guide you through the process. Visit our Design Gallery to see real-life examples of what’s possible, and start imagining how these features can transform your space.
