Shelves come in a wide variety. Before settling on a specific type, you need to get an overview of all the options. Often picking one type is not ideal; instead you should go for a combination. Standard Shelves When referring to standard shelves, what is meant are shelves covering the entire piece of furniture. An example could be a standard bookcase. These kinds of shelves maximize storage capacity and are practical for storing large items. The downside is that they can look boring and monotonous. Cube Shelves Cube shelves can create an interesting break up of your furniture. It is possible to avoid the monotonous look of standard shelves, especially if the furniture utilizes many cubes in various sizes. The downside to cube shelves storage is that breaking the storage unit up in cubes takes a way a bit of storage capacity. If the cubes are too small it can also make it impossible to store larger items. Floating Shelves While standard shelves and cube shelves require a frame, floating shelves can be hung on the walls without any frame at all. This makes them very practical for adding additional storage capacity and for decorating purposes. If you have chosen a bookcase with standard shelves, adding a few floating shelves to the room can make it look more interesting. If you have chosen a bookcase or storage unit using cubic shelves, floating shelves can add storage capacity and might offer a place to store larger items that doesn’t fit in the cubes. Combining Different Types of Shelves It is often the best solution to combine different types of shelves. When you do, keep in mind that the color and the material of the shelves should match. Often picking modern steel and glass floating shelves to combine with an old-fashioned bookcase made of dark wood will give a confusing look. When decorating and picking storage shelves, always think of the room as a whole. Personally, I’m a fan of cube storage.
