Shelves

Corner shelf units allow you to utilise awkward spaces and maximize the amount of storage in your home. Before installing your corner shelf, check your walls are strong enough to take the weight. Most solid walls will be sturdy enough, but if they’re stud walls, you’ll need to make sure you attach your shelves to the main wooden structure of the wall.

Floating shelves have their support structure inside the shelf rather than underneath or to the sides of it. This makes the shelf appear to float on the wall. The easiest way to build a floating shelf is to buy a kit from your local DIY store. This will contain all the bits you need to create this gravity-defying illusion.

Placing plants on a shelf is a great way to display greenery and brighten up your interior. Hanging plants look great on shelves as their foliage will hang down and add an extra feature to the space.
