popular in the 1950 & 60’s built-in furniture seems to be making a strong comeback. and there’s a lot to love about built-in furniture — for one, it’s custom, which means if done correctly and customized to your own very specific needs it should end up looking perfectly ideal for your space. i see them more and more in vacation rental homes, too because just think — you don’t have to go running around for new furniture or worry about it’s upkeep as much, so concrete or wood built-ins are quite functional and practical in that regard, too. add slipcovered cushions and all that’s needed is washing and replacing every few years if they get a lot of wear and tear — but still more affordable than a new piece of furniture. if you’ve got an awkward nook or a wide window just aching for a place to read and recline or create a wee dining space, built-in window seats and sofas are both charming and useful. here are a few looks i really like.
