While cabinet doors are more common in living and family rooms, drawers can be a great option. In this Phoenix living room design, drawers beneath the shelves lend the look of built-in chests. The built-ins give the eclectic room some traditional bones. Depending on what you need to store, drawers can be more functional than cabinet doors, and they are easier to access. They’re great for stashing items like laptops, papers, table linens, correspondence supplies, and more.
