The benefits of designing your own furniture cabinets do not stop there. You not only get the wood stains you want, you get the size and configuration you need. No longer do you have to settle for someone else's idea of how many CDs, DVDs, video tapes or books you have to have. Nor does you 19-inch TV have to fit in the space that is perfect for a 25-inch TV.

You don't have to tolerate a 40-inch-long furniture unit sticking out into a doorway because the wall is only 39 inches long. a qualified custom designer can create cabinets that have the dimensions you need to best suit your electronic components and the spaces in  your room. This particularly important if you have a room with a beautiful fireplace or picture widow in the middle of a wall. Why? Because corner units for your home entertainment center, stereo or computer are difficult, if not impossible, to find through traditional mass-market outlets.

Home Office

Perhaps the most popular "other room" to be customized is the home office. As more entrepreneurs set up home businesses and more employees telecommute, home-based workers are realizing that cookie-cutter desk units from office supply or furniture stores are not fitting the bill.

Many home offices need to be designed to accommodate a variety of components at arms length, including computers, faxes and copiers; yet the ergonomics of the placement of this equipment must be taken into consideration, too. Thus, a good design will reflect the specific needs of each person to use the office and the space requirements of each office component, so that the office is as efficient as possible.

Good Designs Do Not Have To Be Utilitarian

A good design design does not have to be utilitarian. Decorative touches can be added with classic furniture details such as Queen Anne feet for the desk area, onlays and moldings around bookshelves, glass doors for displaying pieces, and unique pulls or knobs to finish off the look.

These decorative accents are particularly important if the home office is where prospective clients will be met. The office should reflect the style and tastes of its workers while being functional.

The beauty of going to a custom designer like those at BECO Inc., is that you can have all the benefits of creating your own cabinet units and get top-quality construction, too. Blind dovetail and mortise and tenon joints are the norm. True adjustable hinges and brackets with lifetime warranties and high-quality finishes are also standard

So the next time you are frustrated because you can't find the right furniture, look within your mind and create your own.

Cabinetry: It's Not Just for Kitchens Anymore
 
Recently, home electronics has become increasingly more sophisticated and prevalent. Designs are more complex with the advent of surround-sound stereos and televisions and internet-capable computers. Yet the cabinetry the average homeowner uses with these complex machines are the same old cabinets with limited choices in design, style and finish.

There is a better way. BECO Inc.'s kitchen cabinet manufacturers have expanded their horizons and can now create the perfect entertainment center, home office or library that not only suits your needs, but complements the design scheme of your home. We are not talking about glorified kitchen cabinets but about real furniture where you can pick the look and components just as carefully as you do when you chose your electronics.

This gives you more choice and flexibility. You can choose the traditional oak, cherry or pine, or avail yourself of some other beautiful woods like hickory, maple, walnut, birch or mahogany. You may also choose from a wide variety of door styles to fit your room's motif.

The same is true for finishes. If you can't find what you want, today's manufacturers can custom-match the finishes of the existing wood in your home or, perhaps, your favorite piece of furniture. Or go for a different approach and choose a painted or antiqued  finish - or perhaps a contrasting wood finish. For a dramatic approach, you can mix and match woods and stains within a particular unit and create your own unique look.
