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:


kitchen shelves



Pretty display
- For a feminine feature wall, group together four small shelves, paint pastel shades and display your favourite knick knacks.





bedside shelf



Bedside table
- The perfect place to hold your bedside lamp and book.






office shelf



Home office
- Ideal for small rooms, use a large shelf as a desk for a laptop.







radiator shelf



Telephone table
- Display your phone in style.
