Mounted wall shelving<\/h2>\n

If you’re limited on floor space, mountable wall shelving is a great idea. You can\u00a0get really creative with the design, display and styling. Think \u2018open\u2019 spaces and the \u2018floating\u2019 look. \u00a0Mounted wall shelving can have a quirky 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 seating space.<\/em><\/p>\n

Industrial wall shelving<\/h2>\n

The use of pipes, cast iron, copper and other metal materials for shelving can help you create that highly desirable industrial chic look. \u00a0Opt for the edgier and grittier 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.<\/p>\n

Cube shelves<\/h2>\n

Cube or cuboid shelves are a great way to add a contemporary edge to your home. The infinite range of colours, sizes and styles available will allow you to experiment with different looks. Try positioning cube shelves in a variety of ways before mounting. This is a style of shelving you can get truly creative with.<\/p>\n

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

Push your artistic side to the limit by constructing your own DIY wall shelving system. Think steel frames and\u00a0wooden boards connected with joints in any arrangement you\u2019d like. You can jigsaw puzzle pieces together\u00a0to create a modern shelving feature that’s completely unique to your home.<\/p>\n

If you have an idea of what you\u2019d like but need some help with construction,\u00a0 connect with a local professional\u00a0handyman.<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

Wire shelving<\/h2>\n

Wire shelving doesn’t have to be limited to the kitchen or the shower. Gain additional storage space by mounting wire baskets on walls as book nooks, to display plants, or to hang prints.<\/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 a more asymmetrical look. Individual shelves can even serve a specific purpose, such as storing a home computer. \u00a0If you want to use your shelf 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 shelf styling to the next level by decorating your walls with artfully-shaped shelves in an assortment of sizes. Think triangles, rectangular prisms, circles and hexagons. Stack them against each other, spread them out, or consider random placement.<\/p>\n

Using geometric shelving made out of natural materials against a white wall will give your home a contemporary and fresh look. Keep this look minimalist by displaying just a few items on these shelves.<\/p>\n

Repurposed personal items<\/h2>\n

If you\u2019ve held on to\u00a0personal items that you can’t bear to part with, consider re-purposing these items into something more functional. For instance, could you turn your beloved old acoustic guitar wall into a shelf to represent your love of music?<\/p>\n

Have a browse of what’s been laying around your garage or shed for ages, and consider how you could turn it into a creative shelving unit.<\/p>\n
