It goes without saying that people love to have lots of storage space in their homes, but what about storage space that also displays your books, valuables, picture frames and more? Think shelving. Here are 5 creative shelving designs that we absolutely love and that are trending in home design right now!
Nothing says “modern yet rustic” like shelves constructed from rugged, repurposed wood and metal piping. Especially ideal in a home office, these shelves are great for easy access to anything you may need to grab quickly and also add to the character of your home in a unique way.
Do you need more space for your ever-growing library or book collection but want to think outside the box when it comes to your shelving unit? On the rise are diagonal shelves and we can see why! With their interesting diamond shape and texture, these shelves not only allow for optimal storage space, but they naturally create the perfect statement wall in a living room or home library!
Does your home have that old-world, farmhouse charm? A ladder propped against a wall is a simple way to add a few extra shelves to a room and this piece will accomplish the “undecorated” look that you may be going for. Shop around some local antique stores – or maybe even browse through a grandparent’s garage! – and you’ll be sure to find a perfectly weathered piece to welcome into your home.
If you like rustic but want an even more “eclectic” look for some extra shelving in your home, just think outside the box – or should we say “think outside the crate!” While it’s hard to believe that any businesses still have any purpose for wooden crates these days, you can thank your local pick-your-own produce farms and wineries for rustic beauties like these pictured below! The great thing about creates is that you can stack and restack as needed to fit into awkward spaces or to simply change it up once in a while.
If you’re a fan of DIY Network or HGTV, you’re no stranger to the rising trend in kitchen shelving. Many people are now replacing some of their upper cabinetry in their kitchen with open shelving. These shelves provide ample space for all your kitchen necessities, and they also allow you to show off your beautiful pots, dishware, and more!
When it comes to alternative shelving methods in your home, the opportunities are endless – so have fun with it! Whether you prefer shabby or chic, rugged or polished, there’s so many options for you to choose from to add a little extra storage and display the things that are important to you.
