If you are trying to furnish any room in your house, then one thing that you should not forget are the storage solutions. Make sure that you have enough to go around since you will probably need more of this kind of space over time. Closets, drawers, cabinets, and bookshelves are great options but only if you have the floor space to spare. Otherwise, you might have a hard time making them fit inside different rooms. You could go with furniture that have hidden storage but these tend to be pricy. Another strategy is to simply installing floating wooden shelves to make use of idle vertical spaces.
Clean Protrusions from the Walls
Floating shelves look like they suddenly jutted out of the walls. These clean protrusions don’t have any visible supporting frames underneath. All you see is the wooden panel. That’s because this hides the metal frames and screws inside. These prevent the panels from sagging in the middle while keeping them firmly attached to the walls. This is the reason they tend to be thick since they have to make room for the inner components. The result is a pleasing design that suits modern aesthetics. These should look great in newer apartments and condominiums.
Wide Range of Colors and Lengths
Most floating wooden shelves are made of wood although you can also find metals, acrylics, and glass options. You can find these in a wide range of colors to suit your existing interiors. You could go for natural wood that has visible grains with dark or light stain. You might also buy painted shelves to match your walls. Of course, you can get a white one and just paint over this yourself. It doesn’t matter how big or small your space is. Floating shelves come in different lengths with some being great for filling narrow gaps between the sink and the wall. Others are long enough to cover the width of a toilet.
Customizable Layouts
These shelves can be installed side-by-side to cover an even wider area. If the longest option that you see is not enough for your design, then just get several of these and install them horizontally to span from wall to wall. Make sure to use a level to make them look like a single piece. Create multiple layers if you need to so that you can store more items. The top one should still be within easy reach.
