Built-in bookcases, library walls and rolling ladder details made from solid wood or painted material, fitted to the room from floor to ceiling.
A wall of built-in shelves changes a room. It gives books, art and collections a home and gives the walls depth and warmth. Nashville homes with high ceilings and fireplaces are especially suited to built-ins, which can be as simple as a run of shelves or as elaborate as a library with a rolling ladder and cabinets below.
We begin with a Free Cabinet Estimate and measure the walls, the ceiling and the trim. We plan shelf spacing for your books and objects, cabinet doors for what you want hidden and lighting if you want it. We build the pieces in the shop, scribe them to the walls and finish them on site, so the case looks like part of the house, with crown and baseboard that match the room. Built-in shelves should look like they have always been part of the house. We study the existing trim, ceiling details and window casings, and match crown, baseboard and reveals so the new work blends in. Shelf depth and spacing are planned for the books and objects you actually own, and fixed shelves or strong supports are used where heavy art books or collections will be stored.
We plan depths and heights around your books and objects, with adjustable spacing.
Shelves are built thick enough, or supported enough, to carry heavy books without sagging.
Doors and drawers below the open shelves hide papers and games.
Crown, baseboard and side panels match the room, so the case looks original.
