Bars & Built-Ins Designed for Your Needs
At Fusion Cabinets, we’ve been building custom bars and built-ins for homeowners who need their houses to work harder. We’re talking entertainment centers that actually fit your TV and hide all those messy cords. Coffee bars where everything you need for morning coffee is in one spot. Bookcases around the fireplace that make the whole room look intentional instead of thrown together.
Most people don’t think about bars and built-ins in Pinellas County until they have a problem. The living room feels cluttered. There’s no good place to put drinks when friends come over. The bedroom closet is too small, and clothes are everywhere. Books are stacked on the floor because there’s nowhere else to put them. Built-in furniture solves these problems in a way that regular furniture just can’t.
We work in neighborhoods all over the area, Highland Lakes, East Bay, Seminole, and Bay Pines. Every house is different, and that’s why custom work matters. The corner in your dining room isn’t the same size as anyone else’s corner. Your TV isn’t the same size as the one your neighbor has. Your ceiling height is different. Off-the-shelf furniture never quite fits right, but custom-built-ins are made exactly for your space.
Stunning Designs
Entertainment Centers & Built-Ins
Entertainment centers are one of those things people struggle with. The TV is too big for the stand. Cords are hanging everywhere. Speakers don’t have a good spot. Gaming systems and cable boxes are stacked on top of each other. DVD collections or books are shoved wherever they fit. It looks messy no matter what you do.
Built-in entertainment centers fix all of that. We design them around your actual TV size and equipment. Cords get hidden behind the walls or in channels, so you don’t see them. Each piece of equipment gets its own space. Your stuff looks organized because it actually is organized.
We’ve built entertainment centers in Largo that span entire walls. We’ve done smaller ones that just frame the TV and add some shelving. Some include a fireplace. Some have cabinets at the bottom for storage and open shelving up top for decorations. The design depends on what you need and what your room can handle.
Built-ins work in other rooms, too. Bedroom built-ins can replace a dresser and add more storage than you’d get with furniture. Dining room built-ins create a spot for dishes and serving pieces. Home office built-ins give you desk space and file storage that fits exactly right. Even bathrooms benefit from built-in shelving and cabinets.
The difference between built-ins and regular furniture is that built-ins use every inch of space. No gaps. No wasted corners. No weird sizes that almost work but not quite. Everything is custom-measured and built to fit your house perfectly.
Entertaining Options
Custom Bars
A home bar changes how you use your house. Not talking about a huge expensive setup, even a small coffee bar or wine bar makes a difference. You can keep all your coffee stuff in one place instead of spread across three cabinets. Wine bottles have a proper home instead of sitting on the counter. Glassware gets organized. Everything looks cleaner and works better.
We build bars for homes that fit the space you have. Got an awkward corner in the kitchen? That could be a coffee station. Empty wall in the dining room? Perfect spot for a wine bar with glass-front cabinets to show off your collection. Basement that feels unfinished? A full bar area makes it the place everyone wants to hang out.
Custom bars can be as simple or fancy as you want. Some people just need shelving and a countertop. Others want a sink, a mini fridge, and lots of storage. We’ve done bars with LED lighting that show off glassware. Bars with bold accent colors that make a statement. Bars that look like high-end furniture instead of something obviously built-in.
The best part about a custom bar is that it’s built for how you actually live. If you make espresso every morning, we’ll design the coffee bar so your machine fits perfectly and you have space to work. If you collect bourbon, we’ll build shelves that hold your bottles the right way. If you entertain a lot, we’ll add plenty of storage for glasses and bar tools.
Custom Space Design
Wall Beds
Wall beds used to be called Murphy beds, and they used to be kind of janky. You’d pull them down and they’d creak and shake. The mattress would slide around. They looked cheap. Modern wall beds are completely different, smooth mechanism, sturdy construction, nice finishes. You can’t tell it’s a fold-down bed when it’s closed.
Wall beds make sense for a lot of situations. Spare bedrooms that sit empty most of the year. Home offices that occasionally need to be guest rooms. Kids’ rooms in smaller houses where you need play space during the day and sleeping space at night. Studio apartments where every square foot counts.
When the bed is up, you have a full room to use. It could be office space with a desk and computer. It could be a workout room. It could be a playroom for kids. Then, when guests come, you fold the bed down and instantly have a real bedroom with a real mattress, way more comfortable than a sofa bed.
We build wall beds with storage around them. Shelving on both sides. Cabinets underneath. Drawers for clothes. You’re not just getting a bed – you’re getting a whole wall system that adds storage and function to the room. The bed part folds away, but all that storage is still there when you need it.
The mechanism is the important part. Cheap wall beds are hard to lift and lower. Good ones have piston systems that do most of the work for you. Even someone not that strong can operate them easily. We only install quality hardware that’s going to work smoothly for years.

Why Choose Fusion Cabinets for Built-Ins
We’ve been doing custom carpentry work in Tampa Bay for over 10 years. When you call us at 727-400-4710, you talk to someone local who knows the area. We come to your house, measure everything, and talk about what you’re trying to accomplish. No pressure to buy anything – just honest conversation about what would work.
Our built-ins are made from quality materials with real wood construction. We don’t use cheap particle board that falls apart when you put books on it. The finishes we use are durable and made for Florida humidity. The hardware is quality stuff that works right and lasts.
Most projects take 2-4 weeks from design to installation, depending on how complex they are. We’ll give you a timeline up front so you know what to expect. Installation itself is usually 1-3 days. We work clean, protect your floors and walls, and clean up completely when we’re done.
Design is included in the price. We can show you 3D renderings so you can see exactly what it’ll look like before we build anything. Want to change something? That’s fine, better to figure it out in the design phase than after it’s built. We work with you until you’re happy with the plan.

Frequently Ask Questions
It depends on size and complexity. We give you exact pricing after we see your space and understand what you want.
Most built-in projects take 1-3 days to install. Larger projects like full wall units might take up to a week. We’ll give you a timeline when we schedule the work.
Usually yes. We can match stain colors and style details to blend with your current trim and cabinets. Bring us a photo or sample, and we’ll work to match it.
Quality built-ins can add value, especially in areas like entertainment centers and home offices. They make spaces more functional and look custom, which buyers appreciate. Wall beds are great for showing how a small room can be multi-functional.
Custom built-ins are measured and built specifically for your space. They use every inch efficiently and attach to the walls for a permanent, clean look. Furniture is made in standard sizes that might not fit your space perfectly. Built-ins look like part of the house, not added furniture.
Yes, we can include sinks in bar designs. You’ll need a plumbing run to that location, which we can coordinate with a plumber. Having a sink in a bar area is great for washing glasses and preparing drinks without going to the kitchen.
No, wall beds use regular mattresses. Most people use 8-12 inch mattresses. Too thick and the bed won’t close properly. We’ll tell you the maximum mattress depth when we design your wall bed.
We route wires through channels in the back of the unit or through the wall behind it. Power outlets can be added inside the cabinet so cords don’t have to run down the wall. Everything ends up hidden so you just see clean cabinetry.
Technically yes, but they’re designed as permanent installations. Removing them would leave holes in the walls and they probably won’t fit the next house. Think of built-ins as improving the house itself, like a kitchen remodel. They stay with the house and add to its value.
We handle all the design work. You tell us what you want and how you use the space, and we create a design that works. We show you 3D renderings and make changes until you’re happy. Design is included in the project cost.
