Cool Shelving Ideas
Datetime:2014-01-28 Hits:
Shelves can serve both practical and decorative purposes in your home. Shelves can be used to store and display your belongings while making a room more visually pleasing. In fact, the way you hang or arrange the shelving can dramatically change the entire look of the room.
Fabric-Covered Shelves
If you have plain wire shelving units, you can easily update them by covering them with fabric. Stack and store objects on top of the shelves as you normally would. If you do not want the wire impressions of the shelves to show through the fabric, line the tops with cardboard before covering them with fabric.
Stacked-Box Shelves
Box or cube shelves are unique in that they can be hung on a wall or stacked on the floor. Arranging a large number of box shelves on the floor and stacking them allows you to store anything from school supplies to shoes in an organized yet decorative manner. Choose box shelves in a color that coordinates with the rest of the decor in the room.
Crown-Molding Shelves
A set of wooden wall shelves designed to look like crown molding gives a wall a formal look. Many home improvement and home decor stores sell crown-molding-style shelves, generally in sets of three. These shelves can be used to store and display small items. Mix and match different-sized shelves to add variety to your decor.
Wicker Drawer Shelves
A wicker shelving unit that allows you to insert drawers accessorizes a room while keeping your stored items out of sight. This type of shelving is ideal for a vintage, feminine-looking room.
