In interior design it is crucial to balance aspects like decoration and provide function in order to maintain harmony. You should pay special attention to the decorative elements so they do not saturate the environment or harm the functionality that your home naturally provides. 

One of these objects is shelving units! Many do not know the potential this simple furnishing has.  With the integration of a ledge you can make your space look great without much effort and at low cost. Shelves can surprisingly help you figure out alternatives to traditional furnishing elements. Also, modernised classics can be a tried and true method to shelving and storage success! Get inspired with these 10 wonderful ideas.

1. Floating lights with accessories

As shown in the picture, this arrangement is perfect to give a modern touch to any room.

In addition, its rectangular shape allows you to have multiple objects and accentuate them with light bulbs that give texture and personality.

2. Repetitive objects

The repetitive distribution of objects in an environment generates visual rhythm. In this case, besides being simple, cubes are functional and perfect for maximising space and storage.

3. For large walls

Occasionally it is necessary to decorate or renovate a wall – several shelves are the perfect coating for a large area.

If you include an additional cross floating shelf as support, you can get more space for your decor with an original design.

4. Natural materials

Use pallets in the construction of furniture and decorative elements – it is an environmental trend that looks modern and is also versatile.

If you want to include this style but in a way to complement your decor, a shelf is ideal. With one piece you can create a shelf full of details for any room of the house.

5. For the minimalists

Two discreet pieces of wood are ideal for decorating with a minimalist style. This idea is also great for small rooms that require order or space to locate things.

6. In the kitchen to maximise space

No kitchen is complete without proper shelving. Whether you choose cabinetry or exposed shelving, adding shelves to maximise storage is incredibly important and keeps the walkway free and clear. 

7. Asymmetrical

If you place shelves asymmetrically, you'll shift the environment and create a focal point of any wall.

8. Framed ledges

Shelved frames are similar to a piece of furniture. With this design you'll have plenty of space to place things in an orderly manner.

9. Shelves on several walls

If you love simplicity but need to sort many things in one place, shelves as a wall are perfect for you! Floor-to-ceiling shelves with different extensions will make any room look stylish and functional.

10. A modernised classic

Combining both exposed shelving with a cabinet-style shelf on the lower half is not only one way to balance out a wall, but a way to double-up on storage space without making a room look cluttered. 

You will undoubtedly have shelving in your home, so why not make the most of it? Here's some inspiration to make exposed shelving look great in your home!
