Shelving as a design opportunity

Dan MacInnis April 23, 2023

Shelving can be an excellent feature in any home, not only for its practicality but also for its aesthetic appeal. Here are some tips on how to use shelving as a feature in your home:

  1. Create a focal point: Use shelving to create a focal point in your living room, bedroom or any other room in your home. You can achieve this by arranging your items to draw the eye towards the shelves. Consider using items of different heights and sizes, such as books, photo frames, and decorative objects, to create a visually appealing display.

  2. Use shelving to divide spaces: Shelving can be a great way to divide up a large room or open-plan living space. You can use shelving units to create zones for different activities while maintaining an open feel. For example, you can use a large bookshelf to divide your living room from your dining area.

  3. Use shelving to add storage: Shelving is an excellent way to add storage to any room in your home, from the kitchen to the bedroom. You can use shelving to store items you want to keep on display, such as your favourite books or decorative objects, or to store items you want to keep hidden away, such as clothing or kitchen appliances.

  4. Use shelving to add colour: Shelving can be a great way to add a pop of colour to your home. You can paint your shelves brightly or use colourful storage boxes and baskets to add interest to your shelving display.

  5. Use shelving to display collections: If you have a collection of items, such as vintage cameras or figurines, consider using shelving to display them. This showcases your collection and adds visual interest to your home.

  6. Use shelving to add texture: Shelving can be a great way to add texture to your home decor. Consider using natural materials, such as wood or rattan, for your shelving units to add warmth and texture to your space.

In summary, shelving can be a versatile and practical in any home. Whether you use it to create a focal point, add storage, or display your collections, there are endless possibilities for incorporating shelving into your home decor.
