Why are you better off buying a custom built-in wall unit instead of freestanding cabinetry that you assemble yourself?<\/p>\n

Well for starters, you won\u2019t need to contend with the aggravating \u201cassemble it yourself\u201d part.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s also no comparison between the two in terms of how they look and can be tailored for both your living space and functional needs.<\/p>\n

One project we worked on involved designing a multi-purpose built-in wall unit that includes several wardrobe closets, a laundry hamper, a built-in fireplace, and an entertainment centre.<\/p>\n

Storage, a laundry helper, a mood setter, and home entertainment all brought together in one beautiful solution \u2013 what\u2019s not to love?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This built-in wall unit is perfect for this bedroom space<\/h3>\n

Let\u2019s face it, not all of the features in this wall unit are things you would exactly associate with one another. The TV and fireplace together make a lot of sense. For many people, however, perhaps including either the laundry hamper or closet spaces wouldn\u2019t work for their needs.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s the beauty of custom cabinetr<\/a>y. It allows you to break free from the limitations of what stock, one-size-fits-all furniture that is designed to appeal to the most number of consumers offers.<\/p>\n

For this client\u2019s specific needs, the all-in-one wall unit is perfect. They don\u2019t have to buy several furniture pieces that may be difficult to stylistically match with each other, nor do they need to worry about how well everything will fit within their living space.<\/p>\n

Improve the shape and function of your rooms<\/h3>\n

One of the many benefits of a built-in wall unit is that it takes up a smaller footprint in a room than freestanding furniture.<\/p>\n

This custom cabinetry piece integrates seamlessly with the rest of the room<\/strong>. With its complementary d\u00e9cor and wise use of the space, it truly looks like a part of the room\u2019s original design.<\/p>\n

Details like that matter. As an architect wrote in a Houzz article titled The Hidden Benefits of Built-In Storage<\/a>, \u201cthoughtfully designed storage can improve the shape and function of our interior spaces\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

Let\u2019s dig a little deeper into the design features that went into this one-of-a-kind built-in wall unit.<\/p>\n

Built-in wardrobes<\/h3>\n
\"built-in

Ample shelving and drawer wardrobe storage space can be used as a bedroom\u2019s primary closet space or supplement a traditional closet.<\/p><\/div>\n

Four separate full-height closets on each end of the built-in wall unit provide plenty of wardrobe storage space in this master bedroom.<\/p>\n

These closets are designed with adjustable shelves and lower drawers, but you\u2019re not limited to this type of setup. We can design built-in wardrobes<\/a> to include hanging rods and various closet accessories, too. This wall unit could also have been designed with one larger wardrobe on each side instead of two.<\/p>\n

Because the drawer boxes are concealed behind the doors in this wall unit, they have simplified fronts. We\u2019ve employed \u201cscoop\u201d handles, which allows us to make the drawers full-depth without compromising the depth with protruding handles or knobs.<\/span><\/p>\n

A built-in entertainment centre<\/h3>\n

Since the wall unit was being installed in the master bedroom, a built-in entertainment centre<\/a> with room for a television and additional media accessories was required.<\/span><\/p>\n

As you can see, the built-in TV above the fireplace is mounted relatively high. That location makes it ideal for watching the TV while in bed. The wall unit\u2019s design allows wires and cables to be discreetly kept hidden.<\/span><\/p>\n

Above the television are a couple of open spaces where a soundbar, streaming device, cable receiver, or PVR can go. Taller open shelving display spaces could also be used for placing books or personal effects like photos or knick-knacks.<\/span><\/p>\n

The layout can be configured for your needs.<\/strong> The open sections up top could instead be included at the bottom of the unit in place of the two banks of drawers (one of which is actually a well-disguised laundry hamper, as we\u2019ll explain shortly). This would make adding something like a Blu-ray player more practical.<\/p>\n

Electric fireplace<\/h3>\n

An electric fireplace and TV boosts the room\u2019s comfort level.<\/p><\/div>\n

Along with the TV, an embedded electric fireplace<\/a> forms the centrepiece of this highly functional wall unit.<\/p>\n

Electric fireplaces are great for several reasons:<\/span><\/p>\n
