Custom Built-Ins in Leawood: Crafted for Your Home
In the heart of Leawood, where refined architecture meets timeless style, built-in cabinetry plays a defining role in the character of a home.
At Refined Interiors, we specialize in creating custom built-ins that feel as if they were always meant to be there — seamlessly integrated, thoughtfully designed, and beautifully finished. From a statement media wall to a quiet home office nook, every piece we craft enhances your home's function while elevating its form.
We work with homeowners, designers, and builders across Leawood and the greater Kansas City area to design and install built-in cabinets that blend architectural precision with everyday livability. Whether you're remodeling a single space or completing a new construction project, our team ensures that every detail — from proportions to paint finish — aligns with your home's aesthetic and your lifestyle.
Our Built-In Specialties
No two homes — or homeowners — are the same. That's why we approach every project as a collaboration, starting with your goals, your layout, and your vision for the space.
Living Room Shelving
Your living room is the natural gathering place in your home — a space for hosting, relaxing, and creating memories. Our custom living room built-ins are designed to balance beauty with practicality. Whether you prefer a symmetrical design flanking your fireplace or a full-wall media display with concealed storage, we'll build a solution that fits your architecture and lifestyle.
Built-in shelving brings both visual rhythm and organization to your space. We use premium materials and finishes that complement Leawood's most elegant interiors — from painted inset doors to rich wood tones that highlight your home's character. Soft-close drawers and under-mount slides ensure a quiet, seamless experience every time you open a cabinet or pull a drawer.
Each living room built-in we create is crafted to hide clutter and highlight what matters most — your art, books, and décor.
Mudroom Benches and Storage
A well-designed mudroom built-in brings order to the everyday. Our custom mudroom cabinetry solutions combine open cubbies, closed storage, and comfortable seating to help your family transition smoothly between home and the outside world.
We design around your household's needs — whether that means extra space for kids' backpacks, built-in hooks for seasonal gear, or drawers for shoes and accessories. Every element is crafted from durable, high-quality materials designed to withstand daily wear while maintaining the refined look your Leawood home deserves.
Custom benches and cabinetry make even the most practical spaces feel intentional, elevating your mudroom from a drop zone into a beautiful, functional entry point.
Home Office Built-Ins
Leawood homeowners increasingly want custom built-in cabinetry that supports working from home — with the same sophistication and comfort found throughout the rest of the house.
Our home office built-ins combine tailored design with thoughtful utility. Built-in desks, integrated shelving, and concealed file storage help maintain a clutter-free workspace while keeping everything you need within reach. We'll match your cabinetry style to the rest of your home, whether that's traditional, transitional, or modern.
We use premium materials, soft-close hinges, and under-mount drawer slides to create a workspace that functions quietly and efficiently — perfect for focused days or creative projects.
Media Centers and Entertainment Walls
In today's open-concept homes, media walls often serve as both a focal point and a functional centerpiece. Our custom media built-ins are designed to house your TV, sound system, and accessories with precision — all while concealing wires and maintaining a clean, architectural look.
We design every media wall to align with your home's proportions, integrating open display shelving, lower cabinetry, or even sliding panels to create a polished, bespoke appearance.
The result: entertainment cabinetry that feels purpose-built for your space, blending seamlessly with your living area while offering generous hidden storage.
Craftsmanship in Every Detail
At Refined Interiors, craftsmanship isn't just a value — it's our standard. Every built-in cabinet we design is carefully constructed with longevity and precision in mind.
We use only high-quality hardware, soft-close hinges, and under-mount drawer slides, ensuring your cabinetry performs beautifully for years to come. Each element is installed with meticulous attention to detail — from perfectly aligned reveals to smooth, hand-finished edges.
Our team works closely with local finishers and artisans to achieve the exact tone, texture, and sheen that complements your home's palette. Whether you prefer crisp whites, warm neutrals, or richly stained hardwoods, your built-ins will reflect the same quality and design integrity that defines Leawood's finest homes.
This commitment to craftsmanship extends beyond materials and finishes. We take pride in the small touches — proportion, balance, and the satisfaction of a cabinet door that closes with quiet precision.
It's these refinements that make our built-ins feel truly integrated — not simply added on.
Local Collaboration
Refined Interiors is deeply rooted in the Leawood and Kansas City design community. We believe the best built-ins are created through collaboration — working hand-in-hand with homeowners, general contractors, and interior designers to achieve a cohesive vision.
Working with Your Team
If you already have a general contractor or designer, we'll coordinate directly with their team to ensure a seamless process from design to installation. Our familiarity with local builders and architects allows us to match existing millwork, moldings, and finishes for a perfectly cohesive result.
Starting from Scratch
For homeowners beginning their journey, we provide design guidance from concept sketches to finish selections. Our process is transparent, tailored, and grounded in communication — so you always feel confident in the direction of your project.
Every built-in we design is measured precisely to your home's architecture. We consider sightlines, ceiling heights, and lighting conditions to create cabinetry that enhances the overall flow and harmony of your interiors.
From the first consultation to the final installation, our goal is simple: to deliver built-ins that feel timeless, intentional, and unmistakably yours.
