Contemporary Designs for Wall Shelving Systems
There are a million ways to display and organize everything from books to trinkets, but wall shelves pick up “stuff” off the ground and tidy up nooks and crannies.
If you are looking for a way to display your precious family photos and cherished knickknacks, floating shelves can be the perfect option. You also get storage space with this type of shelf because it doesn’t take up any floor area. We have compiled some great options that will suit whatever style is right for you home!
Floating shelves have become popular for displaying photographs or other items such as books and plants on the wall without having them lying around your living space. They’re really easy to install too – just secure them with screws into the studs behind your drywall above where you want it hung (hanging this type on plaster walls is possible too). You’ll need one person holding each end while screwing if it’s heavy enough- otherwise two people.
Instead of using the plain traditional, wooden pieces that are seen in every house, we’ve found some stylish and modern ideas that would not only help organize, but bring a bit of fashionable interior design into the home. Let’s have a peek at 15 Cool and Contemporary Designs for Wall Shelving Systems, that can update and beautify your home’s living room.
