Elegant Basement Storage

Built-in cabinets create extra closet storage in this renovated basement. Built-in cabinets with several drawer sizes, open shelves and a closet were used in this renovated basement design to give the homeowner lots of storage options.

White paint was used on the walls and ceiling to keep the decor bright, fresh and coordinated with the rest of the house. Photography: Michael Graydon.

Living Room Storage Design

Well organized living rooms include cabinets, shelves and other storage solutions. A long teak credenza adds vintage style to a room and a practical surface for the TV. The piece also offers ample storage space for electronic equipment that stays hidden behind the sliding doors when not in use. Photography: Stacey Brandford.

Built-In Window Seat with Storage
