Wall shelves in the kitchen
Not every apartment has a spacious and large kitchen, so shelves are often assigned a more functional than decorative role. They must be strong and securely fastened; most often they are placed symmetrically - such shelves are more convenient to use, and it is easier to get kitchen utensils and dishes from them. Forged and wooden shelves fit well into the interior of a room of different styles, but glass products are not the best choice. Firstly, they are less practical, and secondly, this is an attribute of modern styles; they fit on everything.
Corner options
The shelves in the Henrique Steyer bookcase are straight, so they do not pose a problem for organizing literature. At the same time, along the edges they have fantastic geometric breaks and angles, which gives the decoration a magnificent aesthetic appeal.
This model is undoubtedly the focal point of the interior design of an apartment or office.

Wall shelves in the nursery
A children's room should be bright and original; parents try to create the most comfortable atmosphere for their child, carefully selecting every element of the interior. Wall shelves are no exception; you can emphasize the unusual shape - in the form of a tree, a flower or a cloud. They are made from chipboard or plywood, cutting blanks with a jigsaw according to the layout, then putting the structure together and painting it. It wouldn’t hurt to involve your child in this exciting activity.
Zigzag elements
An original product with a wooden structure and a stunning silhouette can fit perfectly into any room. Use it in the kitchen, in a comfortable living room or in another room instead of traditional shelving. The closed ends of the model function as built-in bookends.

How to choose a shelf: tips
- It is necessary to take into account the overall decoration of the room. For example, for rooms furnished in a classic style it is not appropriate to use large, wide shelves. Most often, neat shelves made of high-quality wood are placed there.
- When choosing a material, you need to evaluate the load on the furniture product. And also choose the right fastenings.
- When installing a shelf, you must definitely analyze where it will be safer to do it. Take into account electrical wiring, pipes, etc. If you have small children, it is not appropriate to make such furniture as floor furniture, install it too low, or use low-quality fasteners.
- For small rooms, you can use corner, wall or folding shelves.
- For large rooms, shelving is most suitable. Practical and at the same time they will look very chic.
- An economical option is shelves made of glass, plasterboard, chipboard and other materials.
- Shelves made of wood and its derivatives are not recommended for bathtubs, as they absorb moisture. It is better to design, for example, glass, plastic or ceramic.
- Corner shelves can be good for a balcony.
- It is better to buy a shelf with all the furniture at once during renovation, so that the whole room has the same interior style, a certain color scheme. If you only need a shelf, then we take into account the existing interior.
- If you have the opportunity and desire, it is better to seek advice from a designer who knows all the nuances in this matter.
Showing your imagination, you can make a shelf yourself, or simply choose one by going to the store. But all this should bring pleasure and create comfort, beauty, coziness at home or serve for practical purposes. Ultimately, each person is guided by his own taste.

Wall shelves in the bedroom interior
The first area to pay attention to is the head of the bed. To decorate it, the same techniques are used as for the living room, only the styles differ: minimalism is still more appropriate for the bedroom; not every person likes to sleep with massive shelves hanging over their heads.
You can make asymmetrical or symmetrical corner shelves - they will also look very interesting.
Decorative shelves on the windows would also be appropriate. This solution is suitable for plant lovers: it is best to make the shelves transparent and thin. They are mounted in the window opening: from slope to slope. To make the structure reliable, the window space is strengthened. Small glass shelves will let in enough light, and if you place pots and figurines made of multi-colored glass on them, the effect of stained glass will appear. Shelves can also be made above the window (if the ceiling height allows). You can put light vases, plates, photographs, souvenirs and other things there.
Natural niches and recesses can be turned into spacious shelving, and if you choose an original screen, you can create a spacious dressing room in the corner of the bedroom. The niche doesn’t even need side panels, but lighting won’t be superfluous.
