How Fitted Furniture Saves Space In Your Living Room
Your living room is the heart of your home. The ultimate spot for connecting and unwinding, it's where you make memories with family during the holidays, curl up with a good book for a cosy night in, and so much more.
However, it's easy to feel penned in by bulky shelves and TV units. This can make it hard to fully enjoy your living area.
That's where fitted furniture comes in. Custom-crafted to perfectly fit your living room's dimensions, these pieces offer all the storage and functionality you need, without taking up valuable floor space that could be better used elsewhere.
With over 20 years of experience, Custom Made is Dorset's go-to choice for beautifully crafted, personalised living room furniture. Below, we'll look at three examples that prove how fitted furniture can reclaim space in your living room, so you can truly enjoy every corner of your home.
1. Tuck your books into an integrated set of shelves
Who doesn't love having their favourite stories within reach, ready to whisk them away at a moment's notice?
Standalone bookcases are great for displaying and storing books, but they can take up a lot of space (especially when you're a bookworm with a collection worthy of a library)! This is where fitted bookcases come in - they blend seamlessly into your existing space, giving you plenty of book storage without feeling bulky or intrusive.
The bookcase pictured is a perfect example. We designed it to match our client's existing style, including extra storage underneath and keeping things light and airy to match their colour scheme. The result was a sleek, elegant bookcase that still provided plenty of practical use.
2. Display your belongings with built-in shelves
Gone are the days of bulky shelves that eat away at precious floor space or jut out of walls. Fitted shelves can be integrated into alcoves or along walls, maximising vertical space without creating a cluttered feel. This allows you to display your favourite ornaments, photos, or even house plants without sacrificing valuable floor area.
We designed the shelves pictured to merge into the wall, eliminating the bulky profile of standalone furniture. Their varied shapes and sizes also created a visually captivating, modern composition.
3. Make your TV unit multifunctional
A TV unit is often a living room's central focus, but standard units can feel bulky and blend in poorly. A fitted TV unit, on the other hand, can be designed to perfectly fit your space, incorporating storage for DVDs, game consoles, and other media essentials. This not only saves space but also creates a clean and streamlined aesthetic.
In the unit pictured, we blended hidden storage underneath the TV with illuminated shelves to the left for a multitude of stylish display options. We also concealed all wires and cables for a clutter-free visual experience.
