A place for everything and everything in its place: This is the eleventh commandment of the organized, tidy person. If your home is small but cluttered, you want cabinets to put your clutter in, but you can’t afford the floor space. There’s how you can have your cake and eat it too in this instance. The way to clear valuable floor space without eating up this same floor space with bulky cabinets is with recessed or built-in cabinets. These can be the shelf storage cabinet, bath storage cabinets, or the bathroom wall cabinet, for example. Recessed cabinets can also add home.

Let’s start in the bathroom. This is the most obvious spot, with the usual recessed medicine cabinet and toilet paper holder. But other things can be built in as well, including bath storage cabinets, shelves for towels, towel bars themselves, and tissue box holders. As an additional benefit, when these bathroom fixtures are recessed, they aren’t targets for elbows and knees in the dark.

There are a lot of opportunities for recessed storage cabinets in the living room. Think of how beautifully your books can be shown off in recessed bookcases. These bookshelves can be wide or narrow. They can be tall or short. They can be |recessed|built} into a corner. If they have decorative molding, this molding can be designed to blend with the architectural style of your house or your interior decorating motif. They can even be given doors to keep the dust off your valuable library collection. But the storage shelves in the living room can be designed to hold more than just books. Media organizers can be designed to hold DVDs, CDs, and computer games.

A woman with an abundant supply of jewelry would eagerly welcome a recessed jewelry cabinet. Many styles of these cabinets are available. Some have straight sides. Some have an arch at the top. Additional utility and esthetic value are added by a mirror on the door.

There are many types of built-in storage for the kitchen. Think of the pantry, the home fire station, the built-in ironing board, and the pet food holder. Do you have a small collection spices? Put in a spice rack. Are you a gourmet cook? The full-sized spice cabinet may be the perfect addition to your kitchen. Your kitchen will be the best organized on the street.

Wall niches are a lovely way to beautify a room, whether it’s the bedroom, living room, entry way, or hallway. These niches are less functional than just beautiful. Wall niches go far back into history as a means of decorating a wall with three-dimensional art objects such as vases, figurines, plants, and statues. A niche is a good place to put beautiful objects because they are flush with the wall, making it difficult for the careless person to knock the art object to the floor.

With so many choices for recessed storage, there is no excuse for not having a place for everything. Examine your rooms. Where can you put a well-placed cabinet to hold your stuff?
