White Wall Shelves for a Blended Look


Organization is the perfect complement to any design.  It’s visually pleasing to keep everything organized around your house.  Some people don’t like a varied look and want everything to blend together. If you’ve got white walls, a great way to expand your space and blend in with the décor at the same time is to install white wall shelves.

If you find yourself with too much stuff to display properly or too little space to store it all then it sounds like you would benefit from installing shelves.  White wall shelves come in Melamine which are quite durable and more affordable than wood.  You have a few options when deciding and my suggestion is to go with floating wall shelves which look very clean, cut and sleek, especially if you don’t want your wall shelves to be too noticeable.

White wood wall shelves have the benefit of longevity. They won’t chip as easily as Melamine but are of course more expensive. A white wood wall shelf  is often cheaper than wood wall shelves that are painted in bright colors. Before you go out and spend money on your shelves consider what they’ll be used for, where they’ll be placed and what the purpose is.  Anything over 12 inches deep will require too much reach and prevent you from fully utilizing the new space.  Shelves that are too low won’t allow for ideal storage of regularly used items either.  Keep in mind that storing heavy objects high up may make it dangerous to retrieve them. Heavy items should be placed on low shelves.

If you don’t have the money to go out and buy new shelves consider scrapping them.  Old bookshelves or armoires are optimal and will provide sturdy new shelves if painted over.  The only difference being the amount of money you save. This option is good for storage areas where you don’t care as much how the shelves look.

If you’re looking for inspiration around your home consider installing some corner shelves.  Corners are great for all kinds of storage and add lots of character and personality to rooms.  You can install corner-shelves in large rooms and place vines on top for a very ambient atmosphere. A white wall shelf in the corner gives the impression of being built in if the walls are white.

Once you have installed your new white floating wall shelves consider what you’re going to use them for.  Objects that you’ll frequently be using should be placed in easy to reach spots.  A clever little trick is to install shelves and then group common items together.  This could mean a new floating shelf in the kitchen with all the spices in one basket.  This allows you too easily with one motion to move all the little things making it easier to clean and dust while increasing mobility.

White wall shelving is the perfect way to get more storage while giving while blending in with your white walls.  They fit in with almost any décor and provide you with much need extra storage space  If you spend the time to install them properly and nicely you’ll even have the benefit of added value to your home.  Increase your space and organization today by installing some beautiful white wall shelves.
