The Diversity of the Finished Wall Shelf

Although not everyone is an avid viewer of home improvement shows, I am sure that almost everyone has spent at least 5 minutes watching some form of home design show or other.  They are slightly addictive and the designers come up with these diverse rooms that reflect the tastes of the individual home owners. 

But what exactly does a home design show have to do with finished wall shelves.  Well, actually, everything since many designers goes out of their way to create interesting, beautiful and functional spaces by incorporating wall shelving into the space.  Okay, maybe the designers build some pretty elaborate shelves on their own but did you know that the finished wall shelf has reached new heights of diversity and you don’t need a degree in interior design to use them.

With all the exposure to wall shelves on television, it is no surprise that consumers are buying into the whole wall shelf craze that is hitting interior design.  No longer are wall shelves horrible looking metal monstrosities and they have become beautiful works of art that are functional for any space.

When it comes to wall shelves, you can find just about anything from floating corner shelves to intricate tiered wall shelves.  You can also find wall shelves for any space such as the bathroom, the kitchen or even as a floating corner shelf in the front hall for keys and other odds and ends.  The use is limitless when it comes to wall shelf units.

As a consumer, you will probably be tempted by many of the seemingly “cheaper” products that are available at home supplies stores and in some cases, there is a rhyme and reason for going with products from a home supply store.  However, a finished wall shelf takes your decorating to new levels of luxury with a very small price increase, sometimes no price increase after you take into account the price of staining your home supply shelf and buying the hardware for mounting. 

A finished wall shelf comes in a variety of finishes from rich oak wall shelves that would offer texture and storage space in a cluttered home office to stone style garden shelves that would look wonderful in a garden room or a bright sun room.  There are even painted wall shelves that could provide any girl with wall shelving units that reflect her taste in all things pink.

But besides the colors, you can find a use for any finished wall shelf.  Floating shelves, which can be found in floating corner shelves and corner wall shelf units, can be used for anything from decorations to storing recipe books in the kitchen or toiletries in the bathroom.  Regular wall shelves can also be used for everything and anything and all it takes is the creativity of the buyer to figure out the use of the wall shelves.

You are probably thinking right now that the unpainted wall shelving units that you can purchase can be just as diverse but the one thing that finished wall shelves offer is diversity without the hassle, and in today’s busy society, isn’t that what we all want.

Four Helpful Tips when Buying a Floating Shelf

Today, people have a growing interest in finding ways to enhance the appearance of a room while benefiting from a space-saving solution.  One of the best options currently on the market is floating corner shelves. This particular shelf design creates the ideal space for display or even open storage while adding a sense of style and sophistication.

                                  

When spending money on any decorative item, it is important to look for quality as well as a product that comes backed by a strong guarantee.  Unfortunately, some people will move toward an inexpensive and poorly made corner shelf, only to discover it fades, peels, or simply falls apart.  However, knowing what to look for will help in choosing the ideal corner shelf unit, one that will provide the perfect solution from a functional and aesthetic point of view.  Therefore, we wanted to provide you with four helpful tips on how to choose the right shelving unit.

 

1.    Location – The first step is to determine where the corner shelf unit will be hung.  Keep in mind, regardless of the room where the shelves will be installed, you have several great options so consider all the location possibilities.  Once you know where the unit will go, take accurate measurements.  The key is to choose floating corner shelves that provide the space needed while not overwhelming the wall space itself.

 

2.    Materials – You will also need to consider the materials of the shelves.  For instance, a wood corner shelf is beautiful for most rooms.  However, when used in the bathroom, which typically has a high level of moisture and humidity, it is important to purchase a floating shelf that has been properly sealed.  This would help the shelf to withstand a small amount of direct water although keeping it as dry as possible is best.  If preferred, faux wood shelves would be an alternative.  Since floating corner shelves come in a wide variety of materials to include wood, faux wood, plastic, glass, wrought iron, and more, you will surely find the exact match needed.

 

3.    Design and Shape – The next consideration when buying a corner wall shelf is to compare the various designs and shapes.  For instance, if you have a room with a more formal decorum, then a shelf with a rounded front or perhaps one with hand carving or a cherub design would be more appropriate.  For a casual room, a shelf unit with a molded front or one designed as a staircase would fit best.

 

4.    Guarantee – As mentioned, not all companies selling floating corner shelves or other types of shelving offer a reasonable guarantee.  For this reason, we recommend you invest in quality but make certain you are provided with an excellent guarantee.  The type of customer satisfaction you should look for includes shelving units backed with a six-month and 110% guarantee, which would be considered top of the line.
