Making the most of your vertical
spaces is as easy as arranging
objects on floating shelves. Follow
our tips for styling success
Floating shelves, stocked with pretty
and personal pieces, are an easy
way to transform a plain wall into
a gorgeous and practical feature.
The magic of these shelves lies in the
invisible fixings. A metal bracket with
protruding tubes fixes directly to the
wall (screws and fixings for both masonry
and stud walls are included). These slide
into a cavity in the back of the shelf,
which then conceals all the hardware.
Note the load capacity. The larger
shelves we’ve used here can handle
up to 10kg for masonry walls and 5kg
for plasterboard, while the smallest shelf
can hold up to 5kg in masonry and 3kg
in plasterboard. This makes them perfect
for an elegant display, but not suited to
storing your entire cookbook collection!

steps to help you ace the art of display.
