25 Great DIY Shelving Ideas

July 26, 2014 by Larissa Coleman

SHELVES

Have you ever found yourself in a decorating conundrum, not knowing where to place a certain item in your home? If so, you’re not alone. Sometimes, no matter how hard we try, our spaces can feel cluttered and disorganized. But have you ever considered adding a shelf to your space? Not only are shelves a great way to add to your decor, but they also provide a functional solution for storing items and keeping your space organized.

There are so many different types of shelves to choose from, each with their own unique style and function. For example, book shelves are great for displaying your favorite books, but they can also serve as a decorative element in your room. Hanging shelves are perfect for small spaces and can be hung on the wall, freeing up valuable floor space. Floating shelves are a stylish and modern option that seem to float on the wall, and they can be used to display a variety of items, from books to plants. And then there are leaning/ladder shelves, which are great for adding a touch of rustic charm to your home. The possibilities are truly endless when it comes to the different types of shelves you can choose from.

If you’re looking to add a shelf to your space, but don’t want to spend a lot of money, why not try making your own? With a little creativity and some basic supplies, you can make a beautiful and functional shelf that will fit perfectly into your budget and style. In this post from Remodelaholic, you’ll find 25 great DIY shelving ideas that you can make yourself. From rustic wooden shelves to chic floating shelves, there is sure to be a project that will appeal to your personal style.

One of the great things about DIY shelves is that you can customize them to fit your specific needs and preferences. For example, if you have a small space, you can make a hanging shelf that won’t take up valuable floor space. If you’re looking for a more modern look, you can create a sleek floating shelf with just a few basic supplies. And if you’re a fan of upcycling, you can use old items, like an old ladder, to create a unique and rustic leaning shelf.

In conclusion, shelves are a great way to add both style and function to your home. Whether you’re looking to display your favorite books, store household items, or create a new plant shelf, adding a shelf to your space can be a simple and affordable solution. With so many different types of shelves to choose from, and the option to make your own, the possibilities are truly endless.

    Very handy! I made shelves, using off-cut pieces of wood to seperate the shelves. Drill a hole through each block. Then use a threaded rod ( 4x pieces – 2x on each side. Have a look on my FB page – IHF Woodwork Projects. Photo
