50 Great Ideas for Built-Ins

50 Great Ideas for Built-Ins

Hi there!


I adore built-ins and am always on the lookout for some cool ideas we can make ourselves. I've been collecting lots of great ideas on Pinterest here and here and I thought I'd share some of them.


The good news is, you can make a whole wall of built-ins, sure, but many of these ideas are great for smaller spaces and nooks. I tried to include some for many different areas of the home too. Enjoy!

This makes me think of my Dad, who had a dark chocolate-brown office when I was growing up. It was so warm and classy, I loved going there. I'm pretty sure the giant fishbowl of Peanut M&Ms wasn't part of that at all.


On another note, grasscloth wallpaper is one of my favorite things ever. Look how pretty:


ahhh symmetry...  If your living room area is small, placing club chairs in a circle is a great way to utilize and maximize the space.
Via Houzz

I also love how each time I saw the photo above I assumed there was a fireplace in the center, but it's actually a piano! It's the symmetry that makes walls like this have such huge impact... not necessarily the item in the middle. This opens up so many possibilities!

These are just perfect for a dead-end hallway. They're also beautifully styled - it helps to have a few beautiful items and uncluttered open spaces. Now I just need a collection of turquoise books...


Lovely #built-in shelves

Oh, how I heart these beautiful shelves. I could stare at them all day. And they have birds on them. Do I even need to tell you how much I love birds?

Okay fine, one last one. These aren't built-ins, but they might as well be. Swoon!
