Built-ins For Angled Ceilings and Lofts

When considering a built-in for your angled lofted ceilings, one consider always take into consideration how to best utilized the space.  Accuracy and precision measurements are a must when building a custom built-in unit for your angled spaces.  A degree of mismeasurement can result in a non-fitting bookcase or wallunit that will disappoint the customer and their guests.

Take a look at this built-in we designed and had installed this week.

You can appreciate the importance of exact measurements when building a unit like this....but when it is done right, the end result is simply fantastic!

Closet Hamper Tilt Out

For closet organization, one of the best ideas to try and incorporate into your custom design is a closet hamper.   These units seemlessly blend into your closets, due to the matching cabinet doors that front the hamper.  These closet hampers come in a tilt out or pull out variations.

Here is picture of a hamper system we did recently.

As you can see this neatly hides away any laundry.  One thing to consider is the amount of laundry and how frequently you get your clothes washed....Good thing that these hampers come in a variety of different size ;)

Small Bathroom Vanities

When looking to upgrade your bathroom vanity for a smaller, tighter space, there are a few tips you may want to keep in mind to make a small bathroom seem bigger than it is....

-use lighter cabinet drawer shades
-leverage under the countertop space to hide supplies etc...

Here is a picture of one we completed recently...it is only 18" deep, but a more than wide enough sink for the space...Take Care...
