OUR ADVICE

Having a shelf or shelves in your home is not only a practical decision, but the visual aspect of shelving is calming and coordinates a room in a refreshing way. Seeing your belongings arranged can enhance your mood by establishing a balance between chaos and order.

It is important to choose the right material for your bookcase or shelving unit because it is likely to hold a myriad of things. Thanks to our minimalist design your shelf will look organised and well-structured.

WHAT IS THE BEST MATERIAL FOR A SHELVING UNIT?

Our industrial, low shelf comes in black metal. Metal is a material known for its longevity and strength. If you are planning to place heavy items on your shelving unit, it's a convenient height for retrieving them.

Books and other decorative items will sit well on a wooden shelf. The natural tint of the wood emphasises the age of your books and contrasts well with both bright and muted colours. It is also a durable material capable of holding a heavy weight and is reinforced by a metal frame.

Both wood and metal are easy to maintain and only require regular dusting.

HOW TO ORGANISE MY BOOKCASE?

Your shelves provide an opportunity to showcase your personality and interests. They can embody a vivacious or adventurous side, exhibit creativity and cross the line into abstraction.

There are endless ways to organise your bookshelves. Start by evaluating the kind of mood you want to set and delve deeper into your sense of style. Grouping your items together creates uniformity and matches a living room with angular cabinets, rectangular coffee tables, and symmetrical arrangements. Our 6-tier shelf means that you do not have to limit yourself to the number of things you want to display. Don't feel bound to stacking only books on your shelf. Use plants and photographs to create interesting contrasts in tones and textures. Sometimes negative space can also anchor your shelf in a design style steeped in timeless modernity. Play with sizes and put larger items beside smaller ones to have a fun, mismatching display. Above your shelf you can hang your favourite pictures or mirrors.

WHERE TO POSITION YOUR SHELVES

This depends on their use. You can have a shelving unit in your bedroom to have a handy place for your makeup, hair products and appliances. Put it in your utility room and arrange your towels and sheets. Instead of having your towels hanging from a floating shelf or leaning rack, fold them neatly and display them on one of our stable shelves. You could keep any extra plates, pots, cleaning supplies, tea towels or shoes on the shelf. Utility rooms tend to be small so our compact shelving units should fit easily. To be certain, make sure to always refer to the dimensions provided on our website.

Choosing between 2 and 6-tiered shelves means that you can decide where to put your shelf based on the space available to you and the kind of things you want to store. If you have a lot of files to store, a 6-tiered shelf would be perfect for an office. You can even go beyond the confines of the main rooms of the house and use our shelving units in your garage. Toys, winter boots, wellies, and tools can be put in one easily accessed place. During the summer months, place a shelf somewhere convenient on a sheltered terrace and use it as a convenient unit for putting barbecue equipment, your outdoor crockery, and plants.

Shelving is an essential part of any home as it is necessary to have somewhere to keep any of the extra trinkets and papers you have. You can utilise it in a practical sense whilst interacting with the visual effects of contrasting sizes, colours, and textures. It is also a unique opportunity to highlight some design styles you admire and transform a section of your house.
