Have you ever tried to install a shelf set only to find that the brackets are getting in the way? No matter how you change it, you can’t seem to get it right. There is a type of shelving that can help you avoid this problem completely, they are called floating shelves.
Floating shelves do not have traditional brackets that can get in the way of your efforts to create beautiful wall designs. Instead, they have internal supports that generally run the full depth of the shelf. They are installed in such a way that the bracket is never seen. This is done by sliding the shelf over the brackets through an opening in the back of the shelf. This method creates a cleaner, more elegant look on the shelves. By using this type of shelving, you have the possibility to place your shelves anywhere. Even the smallest places won’t look cluttered when you install floating shelves.
Floating shelves look fragile to the naked eye due to the way they are attached to the wall. All the operation of the brackets is hidden, so it appears that they are floating on the wall. In fact, they are usually much stronger than other types of shelves that are supported by traditional brackets and screws.
When designing shelves of this nature, manufacturers understand that these shelves hang without external support. Therefore, they are specifically designed to be reinforced. This is done by adding fixing screws to the wall and the internal brackets are made of durable materials. They are also wide enough to provide excellent support. With this type of design, you can place heavy items on these shelves without worry.
Floating shelves are not only functional, but they are also beautiful. You can find them in wood finishes of all colors for a traditional and rich look. If your home is more modern or art deco, there are some manufacturers that make floating shelves in a strong and durable resin material. You can find them in all the colors of the spectrum. This is a great advantage if you have a color theme in your room. There are many different designs for these shelves; there are slim, elegant shelves, as well as those with very intricate designs along the edges. No matter what your style is, you are sure to find a set of floating shelves to match your home décor.
