The fireplace is more than just a heat source—it’s the heart of your living room, a natural gathering place, and often the focal point of the entire home. But what surrounds it can make all the difference.

We design and build custom fireplace built-ins and shelving that frame your space beautifully while adding function, storage, and style. Whether your home is modern, classic, or somewhere in between, custom cabinetry turns a standard fireplace wall into a showpiece.

🪵 Why Add Built-Ins Around Your Fireplace?

Built-ins are about more than looks. They bring structure, balance, and usefulness to your living space:

• 📚 Storage for books, games, and decor
• 🖼️ Display space for art, heirlooms, or family photos
• 🎮 Hidden storage for media components and electronics
• 🎧 Smart wire management for sound systems and streaming devices

Instead of trying to make furniture “fit,” built-ins create seamless transitions between your fireplace, walls, and overall room layout.

🧱 Built-In Options We Offer

We design everything to suit your needs and the style of your home. Popular features include:

• Symmetrical open shelving on either side of the fireplace
• Base cabinets with doors or drawers for concealed storage
• Floating shelves for a modern, minimalist look
• Custom mantels to match or contrast with cabinetry
• Accent lighting to highlight display items or add ambiance
• Stone, shiplap, or wood accents integrated with cabinetry for a cohesive look

Whether you’re building around a wood-burning hearth or a sleek gas insert, we’ll create a layout that complements it.

🖌️ Designed for Your Aesthetic

Our fireplace surrounds range from modern and minimal to traditional and timeless. Not sure what fits your space? We’ll guide you through design choices like:

• Wood species and finish
• Paint color, stain, or natural tone
• Trim profiles (shaker, inset, crown molding, etc.)
• Hardware or touch-latch options
• Open shelving vs. glass-front cabinets

Everything is built to match your personal style and the existing architecture of your home.

🛠️ Built Custom, Installed Clean

We build each project in-house, carefully measuring your space and installing everything with precision. No gaps. No off-the-shelf shortcuts. Just solid craftsmanship designed to last.

Our process includes:

1. On-site consultation
2. CAD or 3D drawings for approval
3. Local fabrication in our shop
4. Expert installation with minimal disruption

🔥 Make the Fireplace the Focal Point It Deserves to Be

If your fireplace wall feels underwhelming—or if you’re hiding cords, electronics, and clutter with mismatched furniture—custom built-ins can completely transform the space.
