Do built-ins have to match the kitchen?

They do not, and often should not. A media wall in a living room can carry a different finish and a different door profile while sharing a hardware family and a reveal dimension, which is usually enough to read as one house rather than one room repeated.

Custom cabinetry and built-ins

Everything that is not a kitchen or a bathroom: media walls, home offices, bookcases, wine storage, bench seating, and the full-height wall paneling that makes a doorway disappear into the joinery. These are the pieces that have to be built to the room because no stock module will fit the wall you have. We detail them alongside the architecture rather than treating them as furniture placed afterwards.
