Mounted wall shelving<\/h2>\n

Standalone shelving is out, and mountable wall shelving is in! Get creative with design, display and styling \u2013 think \u2018open\u2019 spaces and the \u2018floating\u2019 look. \u00a0Mounted wall shelving has a nice aesthetic and can still be very functional.<\/p>\n

Added bonus: getting rid of standalone shelving against walls also means no more marks on floors and carpets, and more bench space.<\/em><\/p>\n

Industrial wall shelving<\/h2>\n

The use of pipes, cast iron, copper and other metal materials for shelving creates a trendy, industrial look. \u00a0Go for a typical \u2018edgy\u2019 style that industrial design is known for, or take a different angle by using colour, a copper finish, or light to create a unique, fresh style. \u00a0Push the limits!<\/p>\n

Cube shelves<\/h2>\n

Cube or cuboid<\/a> shelves are a great way to bring a unique, uncomplicated style to life in a home. The infinite range of colours, sizes and styles they come in will allow you to experiment with different looks. \u00a0Try positioning them in a variety of ways before wall mounting<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Design your own\u00a0wall shelving\u00a0systems<\/h2>\n

‘Design it yourself’ wall shelving systems\u00a0are like a grown up version of Straws and Connectors; they’re your own art project on a wall. Think steel frames and\u00a0wooden boards connected with joins in any arrangement you\u2019d like. \u00a0You can jigsaw puzzle pieces together\u00a0to create a unique, modern feature.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve got an idea of what you\u2019d like in mind, Airtasker has some very talented Handymen<\/a> who can help bring your design to life.<\/em><\/p>\n

Wire shelving<\/h2>\n

Wire shelving is no longer just for the pantry or shower. Gain storage space and achieve a homily feel by mounting wire baskets on walls as storage nooks, to display greenery, hang prints and jewelry.<\/p>\n

Leaning shelves<\/h2>\n

Leaning shelves are freestanding shelves that are angled against the wall to give a \u2018leaning\u2019 or ‘ladder’ appearance. The depth and width of each shelf can be uniform for a patterned effect, or varied for the asymmetrical look. Individual shelves can even serve a specific purpose, such as storing a computer. \u00a0If you want to use it as a storage rack for items such as towels, go full ladder style (i.e. use a real ladder) and drape towels over each rung.<\/p>\n

Geometric shelving<\/h2>\n

Take your styling to the next level by decorating your walls with artfully placed shapes and sizes \u2013 think triangles, rectangular prisms, circles and hexagons. Stack them against each other, spread them out, or consider random placement. Using geometric shelving made out of natural materials against a white wall will give a contemporary, fresh look. Minimalism is the way to go when considering what to display on these shelves.<\/p>\n

Repurposed personal items<\/h2>\n

If you\u2019ve held on to\u00a0personal items that you don\u2019t use anymore but can\u2019t bear to part with, consider whether or not you could repurpose those items in to something more functional. How about a hanging acoustic guitar wall shelf to represent your love of music? Take a look at what you\u2019ve got laying around the garage and think outside of the box.<\/p>\n
