Bookshelves & Custom Built-ins
Elegance, Organization, and a Finished Look - Built Into Your Home
A well-designed built-in does more than store books — it defines the room. From a floor-to-ceiling library wall to a media wall with concealed storage, custom built-ins create clean lines, balance, and functionality that freestanding furniture can’t match.
Sebior designs and installs fully custom built-ins for homeowners, remodelers, and designers throughout Chicago, the North Shore, Milwaukee, and Madison. From luxury library walls to modern media cabinetry, every project is built in Wisconsin and tailored to your space.

Premium materials, precise manufacturing, and professional installation deliver durable cabinetry that stays beautiful and functions smoothly for years. - Multi-Purpose Function

FAQs

Can you match existing trim or millwork?
Yes. We can coordinate finishes and style details to blend with your home, and we can design around existing trim so the built-in looks intentional.
Do built-ins work in older homes with uneven walls?
Absolutely. Custom built-ins are ideal for older homes because we design to the space and install for a precise, seamless fit — even when walls aren’t perfectly square.
