Built In Cabinets for a Functional Entryway
These built in cabinets transformed awkward, unused space into a multi-functional display and storage unit that adds a touch of grandeur to this home’s entryway. The dark, natural wood stain paired with the classic door style and crown molding make them feel stately and refined. But, it’s what’s inside that’s truly a showstopper.
The first customized feature is a pull-out drink station with recessed lighting for easy pouring. The built in cabinet door lifts to reveal the bar and the shelf pulls out for easy access to drinks. The location of the built in cabinets—situated in the entryway and next to the dining room—made it the perfect spot to incorporate the drink station. The homeowners can conveniently access the station any time they’re hosting and easily conceal it the rest of the time to keep the house looking neat and tidy or to keep it away from younger guests.
The second customized feature is a special cigar drawer with LED strip lighting. The drawer is custom built with dividers so the homeowners can easily organize their cigar collection. The lighting again makes it simple to see but also provides a bit of a decorative element, transforming it from just an organized drawer into a high-end display case.
The remainder of the built in cabinets provide plenty of closed-door, hidden storage to keep the entryway clean and free of clutter. As a final touch, the built in cabinets are finished with brass Trevi Round Knobs from House of Antique Hardware, the perfect compliment to the cabinets’ stately design.
Overall, these built in cabinets were a genius way to turn a bare wall into a functional space with many different uses. And with how beautiful the built in cabinets are, we think it’s a pretty great sight to be greeted by as soon as you step in the door.
