Reaching New Heights: Our Custom Built-In Cabinet Installation in Brooklyn

In the bustling heart of Brooklyn, NYC, our team at Conte had the pleasure of transforming a living space into a seamless blend of functionality and elegance. The task: to create a built-in cabinet that would serve as a focal point in the living room, incorporating a space for the TV, a wine rack, and additional storage. Here’s a detailed look at how we brought this vision to life.

Design Vision and Planning Our clients approached us with a clear vision: they wanted a built-in cabinet that would look like it had always been part of their home. The design needed to be practical yet stylish, integrating various elements to maximize storage and enhance the room's aesthetic appeal.

The design plan included:

• A central space perfectly sized for their TV.

• A wine rack to the left, providing a sophisticated touch and practical storage for their collection.

• A glass-door storage area to the right, ideal for displaying and protecting cherished items.

• Shelving that extended all the way to the wall, ensuring no space was wasted and adding to the seamless integration of the unit.

Material Selection: White Oak For this project, we chose white oak, a material known for its strength and reliability. Its natural beauty and durability made it the perfect choice for a high-traffic area like the living room. To achieve the desired aesthetic, we applied a specialized stain to give the wood a refined, white-ish look that complemented the existing decor.

Installation Process The installation process was both meticulous and efficient, taking a total of four days to complete. Here’s a breakdown of the key steps involved:

1. Preparation: We started by carefully measuring the space and preparing the area for installation. This included protecting the surrounding furniture and floors to prevent any damage.

2. Frame Construction: Next, we constructed the main frame of the cabinet. This involved precise cutting and assembly of the white oak panels to ensure a perfect fit.

3. Component Integration: Once the frame was in place, we installed the individual components: the TV space, the wine rack, and the glass-door storage. Each element was carefully aligned to maintain the overall balance and symmetry of the unit.

4. Finishing Touches: Finally, we added the finishing touches, including the stained finish and any necessary hardware. This step also involved fine-tuning the installation to ensure everything was secure and functioning as intended.

The Result: Seamless Storage and Elegance The completed built-in cabinet exceeded our clients' expectations, creating a cohesive and stylish addition to their living room. The white oak's white-ish stain added a touch of modern elegance, while the practical design provided ample storage without overwhelming the space. The unit looked like it had always been there, seamlessly blending with the rest of the room and enhancing the overall aesthetic.

Client Feedback Our clients were thrilled with the outcome. They appreciated the craftsmanship and attention to detail that went into every aspect of the project. The built-in cabinet not only met their functional needs but also added a sophisticated touch to their home, making it a true centerpiece in their living room.
