Flat-packed furniture with a built-in finish is the perfect combination for small spaces

BUILT-in furniture is the best way to optimise space, the finish is sleeker, and you can personalise it the way you want it. In my home, I have built-in banquette seating and a built-in desk in my study, both of which I adore and were worth every penny. I also have a hybrid situation going on with my wardrobes - the interiors were flat-packed (the Elfa system from The Organised Store in Dundrum), but the doors are built in.
