    • Mudrooms – Mudrooms are the first place many people will see when entering your home, so having built-in shelving and cubbies available is a great way to make these seem welcoming.  Your cubbies and shelves should have hooks for coats and places for shoes, but don’t forget including space for your decor when you design a built-in mudroom shelving system.  A well-built and well-designed mudroom will leave a great first impression on anyone entering it and make you feel at home from the moment you step through the door.

    • Shelves – Built-in shelves in the wall aren’t just convenient, they’re a beautiful part of home decor! Consider building shelves of varying sizes and heights to give visual interest to your displays.  The right composition and design for shelves will look both artful and visually appealing.
    • Ledges – The spaces above doors and windows are often thought to go unnoticed. But you can add a ledge above these areas to hold a beautiful vignette which could really set the tone for the entire room.
