This project explains why homeowners add built-ins around fireplaces and living areas to improve storage and visual balance. It looks at how living rooms evolve over time and why standalone furniture doesn’t always fit the space or layout. Drawing from real installations by VC Wood Works, the discussion highlights how custom built-ins are designed to fit the room, frame focal points, and support everyday use. The project helps homeowners understand when built-ins make sense and how they improve both function and flow in shared living spaces.https://vcwoodworks.com/projects/basement-storage-cabinets/
