1. Optimize Bathroom Space with Floating Shelves<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Adding a floating shelf or several shelves to your bathroom is a great way to create a decor display space or extra storage in your small bathroom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your bathroom floating shelves are the ideal extra storage space that you need for arranging spare towels and toiletries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your bathroom is in a high moisture environment. So choose a shelf material that will be impervious to the extra moisture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You also don\u2019t want to install your shelves in a place that will experience constant moisture, such as splashing from the shower. A good place to mount a floating shelf is above the toilet or vanity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Utilize Corners Effectively with Creative Shelf Ideas<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Take a look around your home and count how many empty corners you have. It\u2019s probably a lot more than you think you have. These are corners that are essentially dead space. Why not put them to work with a corner shelf?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Install a single floating shelf over a countertop. Or you could install multiple floating shelves in an empty corner. You can size the shelf to fit the amount of wall space that you have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can put these corner shelves in any room you want, from the bathroom to the kitchen. You also don\u2019t have to put them in a corner that\u2019s created by two walls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have a cabinet mounted on the wall, you could have mini corner shelves mounted on the side of the cabinet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Enhance Decor with Stylish Shelf Arrangements<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Mounting your shelf on the wall is the easy part. The hard part is arranging your floating shelf decor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are several decorating ideas out there, but not all of them are good. The easiest thing to do is to pick decorative items that you like and then worry about arranging them later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Visually balance the display you create. Have a single central high point or two high points on either end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Layer the decor with taller items in the back and shorter items towards the front. Use pieces of varying widths and layer items left to right across the shelf. Balance the color across the shelf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Personalize Your Space with DIY Shelf Projects<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Build your own floating shelf and have a custom piece to display your decor. Your DIY floating shelf could be made of wood, metal, glass, stone, or any other material you choose. What\u2019s nice about a DIY shelf is that you\u2019re only limited by your shelving ideas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just like any other shelf you hang on your wall, you need to do it the right way. This means mounting it to the wall studs behind the drywall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ll also want to use drywall anchors. You can use a stud finder to easily find the studs in the wall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
