Built-in of the Week ::

An Armoire To Die For

I am a HUGE huge huge fan of Built-ins. Hence the newest series here at FHD: The Built-In of the Week.

For more on why I think built-ins are one of the most brilliant home solutions, whether your home is small or large, check out this list. And without further ado, this week’s Built-in:

Check out this stunning, amazing storage solution:

This Built-in is fabulous because:

1. Why just have a boring old closet when you can add architectural interest as well? This built-in is from a Master Bedroom and has been built around a beautiful, free-standing armoire.
2. I LOVE how this entire built-in is custom designed around the gorgeous armoire. It inspires me to consider my own favorite furnishings an how I might be able to highlight them and add to their usefulness and permanence by adding a custom built-in around it.
3. The ‘feet’ of the built-ins match the ‘feet’ of the armoire, giving them a free-standing and airy feel. These details are what makes this built-in so great.
4. The detailed moulding and woodwork at the top is added to the original armoire piece to extend it all the way to the ceiling, beautifully.
5. In a day when there are so many cookie-cutter homes without architectural interest, this set-up could add enduring beauty to an entire wall. It is grand, but it also brings a large space down to size, pulling the walls inward a bit and adding a cozy layer.
6. Drawers! Not just for hanging clothes, the built-ins add storage drawers that are useful for so many wardrobe storage needs.

Can you dream up a space in your current or future home where this built-in would be beautiful and practical?

Do you have a large wall in your home where you could use this design trick?

Where would you put this built-in? Would it work in your home? Do tell!!
