Deciding what kind of furniture to buy is a daunting task to some. In some cases, you have to buy each item in different stores so they would look uniform. Some of them have to be assembled and fixed on your own, which could be a real hassle. So what's stopping you from getting built in furniture instead?

There is something special about built in furniture, most especially if you're a minimalist. Aside from that, there are a lot of advantages to getting them instead of free-standing ones. Check out our list below.

Maximises all spaces

Even the smallest of gaps that remain untouched can be a potential part of your built in wardrobes Sydney. As all built in furniture can fit any space, every nook and cranny of your small bedroom can be put to good use. The topmost part can be made into a storage cabinet for your bedsheets, pillowcases and duvets. The best part? You get to decide what kind of materials will be used to guarantee the quality of your wardrobe.

Another example is the space under your stairs. Instead of leaving it as is, you can turn it into a built in shoe drawer or a walk-in pantry. With built ins, even the most awkward space is deemed useful.

Complements interior

One factor that makes your house look relatively pleasing to the eye is uniformity. Most times, uniformity is synonymous with being organised and clean. Aside from that, all your built in furniture will be in sync with the overall look, decors, and feel of your house.

If you're a fan of Hamptons-style interiors, white and blue are its key colours. So, you can stay with white walls and built in furniture with subtle touches of blue. For a rustic or industrial look, different shades of greys will work best for your walls with a mix of metals and reclaimed wood for your pieces of furniture.

Customisable to your needs

Probably the best feature of built in furniture is the freedom to decide its design based on your needs. You can sketch your own built in wardrobe and put as many shelves as you need, dedicate a space for your powder room, put more drawers and more. The same goes for all of your other built in furniture such as your display shelves, shoe cabinet, kitchen cabinets, wall storages, and so much more.

Space-saving

I think we can all agree that free-standing furniture is bulky especially when your living space is quite small. Although there are narrow pieces of furniture out in the market, it does not always accommodate all of your things that you need to store. On the other hand, when you opt to get any built in storage or furniture, and your space is quite tight, alcoves are always a great choice.

Alcoves are usually associated with old architectural designs. But, they have been modernized to keep up with the emerging trends of the world. To this day, alcoves can be seen in houses that value space savers.

More storage

What your house might lack in floor space, you can make up with built in storage. All those free spaces can be turned into drawers, shelves, or cabinets. Spaces under the stairs, in between door arches, and on your walls can easily be made into open shelves for your displays or storage for your house equipment.

Takeaway

While some still say that opting for built in furniture is a luxury, we now know that it is the opposite. If you think about it, they are more practical than buying separate furniture and replacing them every few years because it's just too little space for your stuff.

Now that you know the advantages of getting built in furniture, start planning yours.
