Installation of Shelves
Installing shelves on the wall is not only an easy way to store things, but also an original décor element. Shelves can be of different shapes, sizes, colors and materials, which allows you to choose them for any interior style.
Here are some of the main aspects you should pay attention to when installing shelves on the wall:
- Location.
Shelves can be installed in any room where they will be useful and look harmonious. For example, you can install shelves in the kitchen to store utensils, spices, kitchen accessories, or plants.
You can install shelves in the living room to store books, magazines, souvenirs, photographs, or decorative items.
You can install shelves in the bedroom to store linen, clothes, jewelry or cosmetics.
You can install shelves in the children’s room to store toys, educational materials, drawings or hobby items.
You can install shelves in the bathroom to store towels, hygiene products, a first aid kit or aromatherapy.
You can install shelves in the hallway to store shoes, hats, keys, or a mirror.
- Size and shape.
The shelves can be of different lengths, widths and heights, depending on how many things you want to place on them and how they will look on the wall.
You should measure the free space on the wall where you want to install the shelves to find the optimal size.
You should also consider that the shelves should not obstruct traffic, obstruct the opening of doors or windows, or obstruct sockets or switches.
The shelves can be of different shapes, such as rectangular, square, round, oval, triangular, hexagonal, or curly. The choice of shape depends on your taste, interior style and functionality. For example, rectangular shelves are suitable for storing many things, round shelves look soft and cozy, curly shelves create a 3D effect and attract attention.
- Material and color.
Shelves and shelves can be made of a variety of materials, such as wood, metal, glass, plastic, chipboard, MDF, plywood, drywall, or a combination of different materials.
The choice of material depends on how much weight they need to support, how they will be in harmony with other furniture and décor, how they will affect the microclimate and lighting of the room. For example, wooden shelves look warm and natural, metal shelves look modern and stylish, glass shelves look light and transparent.
The shelves can come in a variety of colors, such as natural, white, black, gray, brown, beige, red, green, blue, yellow, pink, or multicolor. The choice of color depends on what mood you want to create in the room, how you want to emphasize or hide the shelves on the wall, how you want to combine them with other colors in the interior.
For example, natural colors create a sense of calm and harmony, white creates a sense of spaciousness and cleanliness, black creates a sense of contrast and elegance.
- To install a shelf or rack, you must have a lot of different tools.
For example, a water level to understand whether the shelf is installed evenly.
Maybe you need a hammer drill for brick or concrete walls. Or devices for searching for load-bearing structures behind drywall.
And when you hang a shelf or rack, you can catch a live wire.
As you can see, installing shelves on the wall is not only an easy way to store things, but also an original décor element.
