Floating shelves give a wall storage without the visual weight of brackets or a bulky cabinet. They suit small rooms, bathrooms and any spot where a bookcase would feel like too much. Our range includes solid wood floating shelves and bookshelves, a shelf with a concealed storage compartment, boho arch and three tier arch shelves, a gothic fence shelf, a leaf macrame shelf, stainless steel, matte black and wood and aluminum bathroom shelves, a no drill acrylic shelf, acrylic ladder and riser displays, and an under shelf wire basket that adds a second level.

Choosing and Installing Floating Shelves

• Hidden mounts need solid backing: Because the bracket hides inside the shelf, the wall does all the work. Screw into studs whenever possible, especially for longer shelves.
• Load smart: Place heavier items close to the wall and above the mounting points, with lighter decor near the front edge.
• Pick the length: A shelf around 16 to 24 inches suits a bathroom or a nook, while longer runs work over a desk or sofa. On a big wall, a set of two or three reads better than one short shelf.
• Finish for the room: Wood and macrame shelves warm a bedroom or living room, while stainless steel, aluminum and acrylic stand up to bathroom humidity.

Placement tip: Over a toilet, hang the lowest shelf at least a foot above the tank lid so you can still lift it, then space a second shelf about a foot higher for towels and a small plant.
