Built in spaces provide a great way of saving space. The multifunctional benefits of such furniture come in handy anytime. When you want to create a strong statement and make your house presentable; built in furniture is a good choice. It is also a perfect option when you have lack of space or a small sized room or house. Let us look at some of the ideas that you can consider for your built in furniture option.
The full length built in
For large sized walls with a low height, the full length built is a good choice. This will make your wall look big and give you more storage space. You can choose to have a combination of cabinets on the ground level and racks above. Another variation is to have cabinets on the top and bottom with racks. One more choice is to have short sized wooden cabinets on the top and bottom and long sized ones on the side with a few racks.
Wraparound shelves
Wraparound shelves are a great choice for small sized family rooms. This gives the room a wider look and feel. In cases of large rooms, you can consider narrowing down the look by outing more cabinets and fewer shelves. For a smaller size, more shelves and fewer cabinets is a good option. When you opt for this choice, leave a blank space in the space where you plan to have your sofa. You can use decorate this space with some frames or just paint it with a textured look.
Half wall built-ins
Instead of going the whole nine yards, you can opt for half wall built-ins. This is a great way to blend in some artistic paintings with your TV set and home theatre system as well as have a storage space of your own. These sorts of built-ins give you the flexibility of designing the wall side the way you want and accessorizing it accordingly.

Keeping it short and sweet
For houses where there is a fireplace, you can incorporate the built-in cupboard furniture in a variety of ways. One option still has small sized cabinets and a pair of drawers on either side. You can choose to have racks or shelves above. If you want, you can leave the remaining space to make the area look long. If you have a provision of breaking the wall, consider having small sized windows on either side.
