In a small space every inch counts. Built-ins offer clever and functional storage solutions for small spaces.

Built-in bookcase and bench with lift-top seat for additional storage flank the fireplace

Bookcases, benches or desks utilize the space next to bungalow fireplaces. Fireplaces were considered the heart of the home and made an ideal spot to curl up with a good book.

Built-in writing desks

Hiding a desk in a room divider or a corner is a clever way to maximize areas of the room that would not otherwise be used.

Built-in storage drawer

This drawer provides additional storage as well as a place to sit. I always have a stack of things waiting to be taken upstairs piled in my stairway. I wish I had a beautiful drawer like this one.

Bench is built into the stair railing

Every space is put to good use. The built-in bench is next to the wall niche holding the telephone.

Built-in china cabinet

No bungalow dining room is complete without a built-in china cabinet.
