Nothing puts your square footage to better use than a built-in. Whether that means a desk framed within a seldom-used closet or a bookcase tucked into a niche beside the fireplace, built-ins maximize every available inch in your floor plan. They handily transform the dead zones under stairs and below windows into functional space and help you get organized by adding new storage options without adding on to your house.

Brave Space Design is a group of three Brooklyn-base designers concentrating on bringing modular, multi-functional objects into the home and office setting. Dedicated to providing quality, high-end furniture that is both playful and modern, the designers at Brave Space draw from a common set of influence ranging from video games to minimalist sculpture Introduced into the Stagger Line, the Server is a low Stagger shelving unit ideal for kitchen or dining room storage. This irregular and asymmetrical shelving allows for a less traditional display of objects. With modular cabinets, you can determine the amount and location of closed storage on the shelves.

Pull out shelves have become a home improvement option that not only makes it easier to organize your kitchen and pantry cabinet and also greatly improve the access to those deep pantry shelves and base kitchen cabinets. But adding pull out shelves in your kitchen and pantry cabinets can add value to kitchen remodeling or improve home re-sellability.

Why take the time to build your own utility shelves when there are so many good off-the-shelf solutions to choose from? Well, for one thing, you can build this custom unit to fit the exact space you have available. And because you’ll anchor it to the ceiling joists and the floor, it’ll probably be a lot sturdier under a heavy load than most freestanding shelves.
