Shelves are definitely very important and useful furniture pieces that allow to release a lot of room space while creating an additional storage on walls. They are essential items in homes, offices, shops and many other premises and typically available in multiple types. However, floating shelves are becoming one of the most popular trends among them. Unlike traditional shelving systems, floating models don't have visible brackets or other supports. That's why they provide an effect of being suspended or floating in mid-air.



Floating shelves can be used virtually anywhere around your home, providing a modern and stylish look to any room. You can mount an ensemble of several floating shelves in your living room to showcase your photos, collectibles, books, travel souvenirs or just about anything. As for bedroom use ideas, they may come perfectly to place various decorative items, also photos or aromatic candles, for example.
