Wall Shelf

A hanging shelf is suspended from the ceiling. Floating and light, it creates original aerial storage.

A hanging shelf made of a wooden board + rope for DIY, or macrame + tray for a bohemian style. Secure it to the ceiling into a joist (not plasterboard). For plants and light objects.

Pitfall: a hanging shelf that sways and causes objects to fall. Fix 4 anchor points (not 2) for stability.

The main difference is that a hanging shelf does not touch the wall. It is suspended from the ceiling and floats in space, offering a light and original impression. This also frees up wall space and creates a more airy decoration.

The most suitable materials are wood, metal, and glass. They allow for the creation of light and sturdy shelves that blend well with the suspended style. Avoid overly heavy materials that could unbalance the installation.

The length of the hanging shelf depends on the available space and your storage needs. Carefully measure the area where you want to install it, then choose an appropriate size. Make sure it's not too large to avoid overwhelming the space.

Besides its original aesthetic appeal, a hanging shelf frees up wall space and offers more flexibility in room arrangement. It also allows for better organization of your storage by elevating items off the floor.

To maintain your hanging shelf, dust it regularly with a soft cloth. Depending on the material, you can also clean it with a suitable product. Also, regularly check the solidity of the ceiling fixings to ensure its safety.
