Perfect Wall Shelving Displays

If you want to enhance the appearance of any room in your home, you can with an inexpensive yet impressive way – wall shelving. To improve not only appearance, but also functionality, shelves need to be organized so objects are displayed in the best way possible. In this article, we have pull together some easy but proven ways in which wall shelving can work for you and your needs.

One option is great for small rooms where large bookshelves simply do not fit. Instead, you could pull out 10 of your favorite book and use shelving as a display. Now, if you want to keep more books out but again without using oversized furniture, then you could always use staggered shelves. The look can actually be dramatic while keeping reading material within reach. We recommend you organize books by the color of the jacket or binding and the outcome will be a definite focal point.

Of course, most people have heard the keeping like objects together is the best way of displaying items on wall shelving, which is true although not mandatory. However, if you like tradition and want a clean area, then keeping like items together works well. The key to success with this is to make sure you have themed, texture, shape, color, and even material items displayed together. For example, if you have African animal figurines, rather than have them sitting about sporadically, you will make a greater impression by placing them together as a collection on the wall shelving.

Now the opposite rule is to step out of the box by mixing and matching items for your wall shelving. This particular look is great no matter the style or décor of room but it needs to be done so it has a clean, uncluttered appearance. In this case, if you have candleholders, rather than keep them all on one side of the shelf, use different shapes, designs, and heights and have them placed wherever you think they look bet. This allows a person’s eyes to rove the wall shelving, keeping a room interesting.

You can also add charm and interest to a room by choosing objects of varying widths and heights. If you have large, oversized wall shelving, then go all out with candleholders, vases, or even pieces of art work. As the different size items are placed, attention is drawn to each piece on its own, rather than an entire collection. For formal rooms to include a dining room or living room, this is a sophisticated method of sprucing up wall shelving.

Finally, use your wall shelving to add shine. Although shiny objects look amazing on glass or mirrored shelves, they also look great on wood and plastic so you have multiple possibilities. These items could be anything from a pewter picture frame to an heirloom trinket box to a silver or gold piece of fruit. If you have a room with dark walls or wood floors, adding a space that shines helps to break things up making the room appear more cheerful.
