CUSTOM STORAGE SOLUTIONS FOR YOUR COLLECTION

Your home is a collection of things you love, but sometimes those things can become displaced when there is no designated area for them. Sometimes, this can lead to a build-up of clutter, which can result in stress and frustration, creating an environment that is far from ideal for a home. Custom storage solutions offer you the ability to keep your beloved collections in exactly the right place and position you want them. They can be displayed for all to see and made accessible when needed. This important feature ensures they will be around for many years. Let’s talk about some of the more common collections found in homes and the benefits that custom can give you, and the things you love.

Gun rooms

Having a designated area in your home for a gun collection is essential because it allows you to safely store and display them while also protecting your family and friends. We prioritize safety above all else when designing a gun room or even a simple display. We continually review a list of necessary precautionary measures before finalizing any drawings for our production crew. There are many ways to secure your gun collection while still allowing it to look stunning and stylish. Glass cases with locks, a must for any display, whether encased or not, let your family and friends admire your collection safely. Additionally, they minimize the accumulation of dust and dirt on your guns. Some of the custom work we have done in the past also included special LED lighting strips, which add a highlight effect and let you see every detail. Custom cabinetry and displays make it easier to organize your collection by size or to group them by category. This will go a long way in helping you stay on top of them and bring uniformity to your collection. Gun rooms are an excellent addition to your home for multiple reasons and offer great benefits for everyone, including peace of mind and the assurance that everything is safely stored away.

Wine rooms

A wine room offers numerous benefits to your home beyond its aesthetic appeal and elegance. They are also becoming increasingly popular among homeowners, allowing you to display your amazing collection with pride. Additionally, they ensure that they are kept in pristine condition until the time is right to open them. Custom wine rooms allow you to create a perfectly tailored display for you and your collection. It means maximizing the available space to its full potential, regardless of the square footage. From under the staircase to a specified area in the kitchen or even an old closet, customs can go anywhere and do anything needed when planned correctly. Wine is a perishable item, making temperature and placement critical components of the design phase that must be carefully considered from the smallest detail. Easy access must also be given thought, along with good organization, which allows you to keep track of it all, so no bottle is forgotten. A wine room allows you to purchase your favorite bottle in bulk, as it provides space to store it. This upgrade can also increase the value of your home, as many homeowners view it as a status symbol, opting to buy a house with a wine room. Discuss with your designer the possibility of creating a wine room in your home, and then prepare to showcase your collection.

Golf Collection

Are you an avid golfer but struggle to keep all your important equipment at least somewhat organized at home, or does it inevitably end up in the closet? When you have a custom storage solution in your home, many of these issues will be dramatically, if not entirely, reduced. A past client had a large golf rack with a breakfast counter on the other side, designed to store their collection of golf clubs and other items within easy reach of their golf simulator. This allowed them to have friends and family play endless rounds of golf within the climate control of their home, with no time limits due to the sun setting. This is the beauty of having custom pieces built to your specific request, as they will perfectly suit your needs and stay exactly where they were intended to be. Another benefit is the ability to create a space where not only can our collection be showcased with ease, but also serves as a gathering place where you can connect. Add a seating area or even a small beverage center, and you have the perfect recipe for a delightful evening. Discuss the options available with your designer to best display your golf collection.

Heirlooms

Collections don’t always have to be new; sometimes, they can be assembled over several generations, resulting in some valuable and priceless heirlooms. They culminate your family’s stories, making them worth showing off with pride. There are several things to consider when designing custom storage for heirlooms, especially when they have monetary value. Glass-front door cabinets are a wonderful way to safely display your family’s dishes, while also keeping them within easy reach when you want to use them for family holiday dinners or birthdays. Another benefit of glass is that it keeps dust and dirt to a minimum. Additionally, you can incorporate LED strips, which enable you to highlight your items even more and create a wonderful focal point. Built-ins are also a wonderful way to store and display heirlooms that are not kitchen-related, such as decor items. Custom means you can design cabinets that meet the safety and style needs of your beloved heirlooms, ensuring they will be around for many more years.

Custom storage for your collection

No matter what you need, when you lack order, function, and accessibility, custom storage is the way to go. Home is the place we tell our story, and that is through the items we purchase or preserve, which means they ought to be treated with care. This is what our custom cabinets enable homeowners to do, integrating seamlessly with their lifestyle and design preferences. Every collection deserves to be honored and highlighted, regardless of its nature, and customs have been our specialty for over twenty years.
