Built-Ins Idea Book

by Heather J. Paper

Built-ins can make any house more functional, livable, personalized, and comfortable, and they cost much less to construct and install than a whole-room remodel . In this completely revised and updated edition of Built-Ins Idea Book , Heather J. Paper has collected inspirational and practical storage solutions for every room of the house. By reclaiming space that would otherwise go unused, built-ins offer a way to transform any house into a home. The latest volume in Taunton's successful Idea Book series, Built-Ins Idea Book is packed with creative yet approachable ideas and is richly illustrated with 260 photographs, practical sidebars, and designs of all kinds that will appeal to a wide range of tastes and budgets. Whether your goal is adding seating to a nook or other small space, creating a mudroom in your entryway to keep messes at bay, or transforming a room into a multipurpose space, built-ins offer homeowners the chance to craft a home that is uniquely their own.

Wonderful array of medium and large built-ins, arranged by room or area of a home. Includes tips on things such as distance from appliances, clearance space, a bit about building shelves and more.

Marvelous ideas and lovely photos in a variety of styles and spaces. Going to get this out again if we plan a built-in or two for our home.

Incorrectly named. Very few items were actually built ins or made to look like built ins.ost everything is cabinetry or shelving.

A decent collection but nothing really grabbed me. Too much blue and white as well. There's some DIY info in here but not like the older Taunton Press books.

An OK read once, but not twice.
