Floating shelves
Transform a plain wall while adding extra storage space.
Floating shelves are an ideal way to add interest to any room in your home, as they can be used as a platform to display a variety of objects. And when you fancy a refresh, you can change the items on display as often as you wish, repaint and even cover in fabric.
Ways to make floating shelves work for you:
Pretty display - For a feminine feature wall, group together four small shelves, paint pastel shades and display your favourite knick knacks.
Bedside table - The perfect place to hold your bedside lamp and book.
Home office - Ideal for small rooms, use a large shelf as a desk for a laptop.
Telephone table - Display your phone in style.
