You may have spotted our custom wall cabinet in previous living room photos. Two years ago, we commissioned a bespoke piece for our old home. Just as it was finishing up, we moved, requiring adjustments to fit the new space. Thankfully, one wall worked perfectly—dodging a major expense.
With the living room and kitchen now renovated in a cohesive style, this custom cabinet integrates seamlessly. We're thrilled, especially given its premium price tag. The best part? We designed it ourselves, ensuring it's truly one-of-a-kind.
One spot still needs a sturdy wall cabinet: industrial style with steel and wood accents. An open design would double as a room divider between the office and lounge, filled with plants and baskets for an instant focal point.
The dilemma: commission another unique custom build or opt for a 'standard' store model? IKEA's Besta offers customization but doesn't match the rugged vibe we want. It needs to be standalone, max 120cm wide, and complement the upcoming radiator housing post-flooring.
Budget-conscious or seeking reliability? Shop-bought cabinets deliver predictable quality for your spend. Options abound in industrial, modern, or retro styles to suit any space.
