Cabinet Designs For The Den Or Living Room
Cabinets for the den or living room are different from any other room in the house. Unlike a kitchen or bathroom where cabinet designs have a standard and specific purpose, these rooms serve a variety of functions and the storage needs to reflect that while still matching decor. It also gives you an opportunity to get creative with the styles and use of space.
Bookcases And Large Storage Cabinet Designs:
Storage in dens and living rooms help to keep the room organized and looking great. Traditional bookcases with elegant details such as crown moldings or custom accents are great for holding books and decor items. Some are having special inserts added into some of the shelves to hold movies and music.
Complete wall units added to these spaces house all of the necessities including TVs, DVD and media devices, home theater systems, and a media library. These pieces often become the focal point of the room with their rich graining and range of colorings. Large wall units are being designed in sections as well. This allows the homeowner to rearrange the pieces in many different ways to accommodate changing needs and tastes.
Built-ins are another great option. Spaces that contain stairs can have a custom cabinet design created to match the unique shape and space of the area to maximize the room’s storage. Cabinets can be built around couches and tables too.
Fireplaces:
Artistic cabinet designs created around the den’s fireplace create a stunning focal point in the room. Hardwood covering the back wall and a decorative mantel can go around the fireplace. Custom cabinets on either side can house decorative items or be used for extra storage. Other materials such as granite, marble, and slate are being incorporated into the designs as well. For an added look of luxury, custom wood boxes and holders for tools added directly into the original cabinet design or created separately to match the original design look fantastic.
Movable Units And Accents:
Separate cabinets are extremely popular in dens and living rooms for their versatility. Curio units are great for holding small antique items and collectibles. Wardrobes are ideal for holding electronics in smaller spaces because they still allow the homeowner to hide them away when they aren’t being used.
When it comes to spicing up the cabinetry, virtually anything goes. One of the most popular options is hand carved columns, appliques, and supports to give any design a custom handmade appearance. Glass or crystal doorknobs or replica door pulls completes the look and feel of a piece. Pot lights and glass shelving are also used in many different storage systems to bring attention to the items being stored in them.
The perfect cabinets will only increase the enjoyment you get out of your home and add to its value making them a worthwhile investment. There are an unlimited number of options when it comes to custom cabinet design for dens and living rooms. The only rule is that they function and are appealing for you and your family.

Particle Board Shelf (PLEASE HELP)?
I was looking at some nice media storage cabinets on Amazon and some people were saying they were bad because they use particle board for the shelves.
I was thinking, if all it is holding is game and movie cases, it’s not going to mess it up. They are extremely light and even if a shelf is filled up they shouldn’t do any damage.
So if all your putting on them is dvd cases, ps3 cases, blu-ray cases and cd cases, is it safe to say that nothing will happen to them because of that?
Particle board is simply glued together sawdust. It has no structural integrity, warps easily, and comes apart in humid conditions. For the uses you describe, it will probably work fine. But if you can afford real wood, that’s the way to go.

Promised Land [CD-ROM] Queensryche’s follow-up to the double-platinum Empire is something of an acquired taste, but it’s well worth the effort. There’s considerable variety here; the heavy progressive-rock of “I Am I” and the ballad “Bridge” were hit singles, but there’s also the funk-inflected “Disconnected”, the edgy, spooky “Lady Jane”, and the piano-and-vocals “Someone Else?”. The title track is probably the stronge… |
