Built-In Cabinet Updated with New Technology

Built-In Cabinet Updated with New Technology

A custom upgrade that integrates a larger TV and SONOS surround sound — while preserving the original design of the home.

Project Overview:

This Boulder project focused on modernizing an existing built-in cabinet to support today’s technology — without sacrificing its original character.

We modified the structure to accommodate a larger TV, integrated a SONOS surround sound system, and carefully custom stained and finished the wood to match the existing cabinetry.

The result is a seamless blend of modern performance and timeless design.

Key Features:

  • Built-In Cabinet Modification for Larger TV
  • SONOS Surround Sound Integration
  • Custom Wood Staining & Finish Matching
  • Hidden Audio System Design
  • Clean, Seamless Installation
  • Preserved Architectural Aesthetic

INSTALLATION HIGHLIGHTS

Cabinet Modification for Modern Displays

The original built-in was reworked to properly fit a larger, modern TV — improving both viewing experience and proportions.


SONOS Surround Sound Integration

We installed a SONOS system to deliver immersive audio while keeping speakers discreet and integrated into the space.


Custom Finish Matching

All new woodwork was stained and finished to match the existing cabinetry, ensuring the upgrade looks original to the home.


Clean Equipment Integration

Components were carefully placed to maintain accessibility without disrupting the clean, built-in look.


DESIGN CHALLENGE

Upgrading built-ins like this requires precision:

  • Matching existing wood tones
  • Preserving structural integrity
  • Hiding modern technology
  • Maintaining symmetry and balance

This project demonstrates how older cabinetry can be brought up to modern standards without a full remodel.

Updating Built-In Cabinets for Modern TVs

Older built-ins often aren’t sized for today’s larger displays. Modifications allow homeowners to upgrade without replacing cabinetry.


Integrating SONOS into Existing Spaces

SONOS systems can be seamlessly added to existing rooms, delivering high-quality audio without visible clutter.


Custom AV Solutions for Older Homes

Professional AV integration ensures modern performance while respecting the original design of the home.


Why Finish Matching Matters

Matching stains and finishes ensures upgrades blend naturally instead of looking like afterthoughts.

We upgrade existing cabinetry to support today’s technology — blending performance with the design you already love.
