A more compact unit, the TV is the centrepiece here. Utilize the space around the TV with custom-made shelves to accommodate the best of your decorative items.

Kitchen space
A kitchen has to be functional and comfy. You also need enough floor and working space to get things done fast here. Some top features:
Kitchen cabinets
Functionality and elegance are both critical. Custom kitchen cabinets to put culinary items within easy reach make cooking pleasurable and effortless. Choose a closed kitchen and utilize the separating wall to mount kitchen cabinets.
Built-in bar
A built-in bar lets you play with creativity; you can choose to utilize just one shelf or a space in a corner dedicated to the bar. Add a granite or glass-topped table top for an extra pop of elegance. Use special lighting right atop this space.

Choose the proper lighting to brightly light up the kitchen. Opt for hanging task lighting to make working easier while adding style.
Extension drawers in your kitchen let you utilize all of the drawer space by giving access to the furthest end.
High homes must have high-tech kitchen appliances that show class and elegance. Think built-in fridge, built-ins for smaller appliances, or warming drawers.
