(ARA) - Bulky space-consuming furniture is on its way out. Beautiful
space-saving wood cabinetry is in, taking its rightful place throughout the home, from formal
dining rooms to mud rooms. In fact, cabinetry is fast becoming the new furniture of choice. From
floor-to-ceiling wall spaces to nooks and crannies, cabinetry can fit just about anywhere, such as
bathrooms, foyers and hallways, and kids’ smaller bedrooms.
"With busier lifestyles, growing families, gourmet kitchens, home offices, and diverse hobbies,
consumers are purchasing more items than ever before. As a result, people are discovering more creative
uses for cabinetry, such as lockers in mudrooms where kids can store 'their valuables' after school,
sports, and other activities," says Mindy Brooks, advertising and communications manager at HomeCrest
Cabinetry.
Another popular trend is replacing old dressers and other unwieldy bedroom furniture with standard and
custom cabinets that line walls or fit snugly into closets. Especially in smaller homes, closed-door
cabinetry or open bookshelves placed strategically as room dividers between living and dining areas,
and all along walls, can generate new space by increasing storage options.
Not only does cabinetry utilize space better than furniture throughout the home, it helps you get
organized and stay that way. With cabinetry, everything has its own home so there’s less clutter and
chaos in your life. For example, you can create a beautiful wood wall-hugging credenza to showcase
everything from your family heirlooms and framed photos to knick-knacks using shelves and glass-door
display cabinets, while organizing a multitude of items that would otherwise be clutter, inside
credenza drawers and closed cabinet spaces. As a result, you’re much freer to relax and enjoy your time
at home without feeling crowded by too much furniture or overwhelmed by belongings.
When using cabinetry instead of furniture, the design and storage possibilities are as rich as your
imagination. To create a cozy country look and feel, you can choose closed cabinets and open
bookshelves surrounding a mantel and fireplace in a den or living room. A window seat with built-in
storage and marble-topped cabinetry on both sides creates a comfortable nook for reading and relaxing
anyplace in the home where there’s a window with a view. You can even divide rooms using a beautiful
wooden china hutch that combines closed solid-wood storage cabinets stretching floor-to-ceiling at one
end with elegant glass-door china display cabinets lowered to kitchen island-height at the other end,
achieving an airy, open feel between rooms that doesn’t block light or conversation.
