Ask Jen: Tips for built-ins?
Question: I am trying to put my small great room together and I want to create more storage with a window seat and redo the fireplace surround and the niche above. Can you give me any tips? –Kris
Answer: Hi Kris, As with any construction project you will need to take accurate measurements of the space and create detailed working drawings for your contractor. Hiring a good contractor with an eye for detail is key.
You want the end result to blend seamlessly into the room, and not look like it was just added on. To achieve this, carry any existing architectural details in the space through to your window seat design and fireplace surround. Pay attention to the proportions of the design, and how all the elements work together. Good luck with your project!
