Shelves are the unsung heroes of your home, at least when it comes to organizing and storing your things. But just because they serve such a practical purpose doesn’t mean they have to be uninteresting. Today, Handyman Connection® of Winter Park gives “shelf life” a whole new meaning with these four gorgeous and functional shelf designs and ideas.
1. Floating Shelves
While open shelves are nothing new, the versatility of their design makes them a timeless shelving option for any home. On top of that, they cost considerably less than installing an entire cabinet. Floating shelves open up your wall space, readily showcasing your collectibles and prized baubles. With open shelves in the kitchen, you no longer have to rummage through dark cabinets to look for your pots and pans. Plus, the design will motivate you to keep a tidy home.
You can utilize just about any sturdy hardwood material for your floating shelves, such as reclaimed wood and driftwood.
2. Honeycomb Shelves
This quirky yet sensible shelf design is highly customizable. You can put an additional shelf across the middle of the hexagon to take full advantage of the storage space. Honeycomb shelves can be as wide as you want or need.
3. Pallet Shelves
Put those pallets to good use by repurposing them as shelves. When sanded down and stained, pallet shelves provide a rustic atmosphere to your modern industrial home. The best items to display on these charming shelves are old family photos, books, and magazines.
4. Ladder Shelves
Ladder shelves are, quite literally, a step above and beyond your usual shelving options. You can use them outside your home as a plant holder, or inside as a book, clothes, or toy shelf. You may even paint them different colors to match the overall design theme of your home. There are numerous possibilities, all of them splendid.
Shelves are so much more than just storage spaces. They can be as decorative as you please. Turn to Handyman Connection of Winter Park for more shelving options. Contact us at (407) 270-2348.
