For a traditional-looking set of Floating Wall Shelves, O&K has these beauties. They come in different colors and include all the hardware you need to install the shelves. Installation takes only minutes!
A firm lip sits at the front of the shelf so you can lean picture frames back without fear of them falling. Each shelf has a super-slim depth of only 3.9 inches.
6. Vitra Corniches
There are so many different options for wall shelves that it’s difficult to pick just one! Vitra Corniches are one of my favorites because they’re made from plastic, making them more lightweight (but still sturdy!).
Vitra also looks incredible on your wall thanks to its unique scoop shape. It’s not only a wall shelf – it’s an eye-catching decoration for your walls!
7. 086 Baleno Shelves
It’s amazing what curves can do. A simple arch in a wall shelf makes it infinitely more elegant and unique; such is the case with the 086 Baleno Shelves from Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec.
The shelves can be mounted in a variety of positions, all of which form a work of art on your walls. Each shelf bends like the graceful extended arm of a ballerina, delicately holding your valuables and displaying them for admiring eyes.
8. Diagonal Wall Basket
My, this is interesting! First of all, the brand of this Diagonal Wall Basket is called Swedish Ninja; with a name like that, they already have your attention.
Then you’ve got the unique grated design that shows just enough of what’s inside while still concealing the contents like a junk drawer would. It’s a great way to store your keys, hats, and other entryway clutter.
9. Greenco 4 Cube Intersecting Wall Shelves
Display shelves don’t have to be enormous to have a big effect on your space. Take the Greenco 4 Cube Wall Shelves, for example. Intersecting squares create a magical effect that makes the shelf look more like a wall sculpture than a shelving unit.
Two LED candles are included with the shelf to add an extra little something to your display. The shelves come in six different colors!
10. Cadovius Butterfly Shelf
With all the grace of the insect they’re named after, the Butterfly Shelf has both a beautiful form and function. Two “wings” come together in the center and create a stunning, sturdy shelf ready to cradle books or other items you place on it.
Its gentle angle and rounded corners make it safe for children’s bedrooms to free up precious floor space while storing toys and bedtime stories out of the way.
11. Hay Pivot Shelf
Do you have too many corners in your house and not enough room for shelves? The HAY Pivot Shelf solves this problem with ingenuity and finesse. Its clever design allows you to mount it on inward-facing and outward-facing corners with ease.
You can set just about anything on its sturdy platform. The Pivot Shelf has four different mounting options to optimize its usefulness. You can even mount it on flat walls for a neat visual effect.
12. Comfify Floating Shelves
As a cat owner, I can appreciate the advantage of floating shelves. Keeping breakable things out of kitty’s reach can be tough, but Comfify’s Floating Shelf Set makes it easy.
These shelves aren’t just for cat owners though; anyone who wants to store decorative items and save floor space will love their sturdy and simple nature. All in all, you get seven wooden shelves of strong wood– what a bargain!
13. 11 Babushka Boxes
The name “Babushka Boxes” in and of itself sounds delightful, but wait until you see how they look hanging on your walls. Eleven sturdy box shelves come in this set and are designed to fit perfectly inside one another, saving you from a large shipping fee and making them easy to pack up should you move.
Packing them close together on the wall gives them a nesting effect. However, you can always arrange them individually according to your taste.
