Learn how integrated shelving, window benches, and hidden cabinets keep homes clutter-free without compromising style.
Designing your dream home is as much about efficiency as it is about elegance. In this post, we’ll explore how timber framing house plans from Woodhouse elevate both form and function. With real-world examples, you’ll see how thoughtful storage enhances every inch of a timber frame home, from summer toy storage and laundry organization to cleverly designed sculleries and built-in solutions throughout the house.
Entryway Elegance
Keep daily essentials at hand and maintain a tidy, stress-free home environment. The TimberRidge features a dedicated boot room off the entry (see below) where built-in cubbies, benches, and cabinetry create a chic system for managing everyday clutter. Shoes, outerwear, and gear stay sorted and accessible in this functional transition space for busy households.
Versatile Spaces
The Tumalo V1 includes a dedicated interior storage room (see below) that enhances the home’s flexibility. Whether used as a pantry for bulk and household goods, a hobby space, or as seasonal storage, it maximizes functionality without interrupting the openness of the living areas. This adaptable storage space ensures that every item has a home, reducing clutter and improving overall livability.
Built-In Beauty
In this eastern white pine timber frame home, built-in shelving and window benches are woven seamlessly into the structure, infusing warmth and character while maintaining a clean, uncluttered look. Each element is purposeful yet elegant, enhancing the home’s architectural charm.
Seamless Flow
A scullery between the kitchen and garage provides discreet yet highly practical storage in the Great Camp plan. Accommodate pantry goods, small appliances, and kitchen essentials without interrupting the home’s flow. Thoughtfully placed near the mudroom and laundry room, the space enhances efficiency while preserving the elegance of the timber framing; it streamlines daily routines and keeps high-traffic areas neat and tidy.
Secret Solutions
From furniture-style cabinetry in the dining room to a concealed under-stair cabinet, this New York home showcases inventive storage at every turn. Built-ins in the mudroom and entryway further elevate organization. These strategically designed spaces keep belongings out of sight and maintain the home’s refined atmosphere, highlighting the artistry and craftsmanship of the timberwork.
