How to Make Built-In Furniture

Built-in furniture is becoming more and more a mark of the modern interior. The old method of dividing the living area by wall partitions is gradually giving way to the practice of leaving the area open and permitting the occupant to adapt the space to his own needs, in accordance with his own taste. Thanks to built-ins, a room can have its own individual design, free of the monotonous uniformity of mass production furniture. Aside from these esthetic considerations, built-ins can achieve real space economies either by utilizing wall recesses, attics, or space beneath a sloping ceiling, or by making full use of a wall area, from floor to ceiling and side to side. The designs for built-in furniture which this book contains have been planned to help the homeowner and craftsman make the most of these possibilities, but they should also be of interest to such specialists as architects, interior decorators, builders, and lumber dealers.
