What Are Built-In Shelves?

Built-in shelves (aka built-in bookcase or built-in cabinets) are shelves attached to the surrounding house structure. 

Unlike a free-standing bookcase, these built-ins remain in place where they are nailed into the wall. 

This logic also applies to floating shelves that are permanently fixed to the wall. 

This bit of home decor is most often seen in the living room, dining room, or home office, but aren’t uncommon in bathrooms or bedrooms. 

They are most often garnished with crown molding, baseboards, and ornate shelving.
