Hi!

Custom cabinetry and shelving for a 12x15-foot room can significantly enhance both the functionality and appearance of the space. Opt for materials like solid hardwoods (oak, maple) for durability and classic appeal, or MDF if a smooth, painted finish is preferred. Laminate offers a variety of colors and patterns and is easy to maintain, making it a practical choice. Finishes such as paint can provide a clean, modern look, while stains bring out the natural beauty of wood.
Incorporating lighting into cabinetry and shelving can elevate the design. LED strip lights beneath shelves offer a subtle, even glow, while recessed or puck lights can highlight specific areas or items. Backlighting glass shelves can add a dramatic effect and enhance the visual appeal of the room.
