Are you looking to build a custom home in central Maryland? Are you looking to build close to the water? We don’t blame you. Maryland has some of the nicest weather and water views in the country! At Shore-Line Construction, we are here to make your waterfront home dreams come true. One of your top concerns is likely storage, a highly practical component of any home. These unique built-in storage ideas can help inspire you.

Built-in Bookshelves and Cupboards

Why have freestanding bookshelves and cupboards when you can have built-in storage? If you love the solid, stable look and feel of built-in storage, there are countless ways to implement it. An architect can help you design built-in storage that is unique; for example, you can make it have arches, gothic points, or contemporary curves. 

Overhead Storage

We seldom think of using the space above our interior doors for storage, but it is one of the smartest ways to make more storage space in small and large homes alike. Storage space that extends to your ceiling is best for items you won’t need everyday, such as special clothing, gear, or prized collections.

Finished Attic Storage

The attic is another space you could use for either long-term storage or a bonus room complete with ample storage. Make the most of every square inch of your new home with a finished attic.

Storage Under the Stairs

What is under the stairs, anyway? A cupboard under the stairs is a great spot for storing household cleaning supplies or even long-term food and drink supplies. It is also possible to build a closet under the stairs to house your coats and jackets. 

Hidden Storage Spaces

Some storage spaces are best kept out of view. Have fun with your custom home and create hidden storage spaces. It is possible to install bookcase doors, secret paneled doors, and more for your subtle storage stash.
