Not only are shelves something that you can put knickknacks and other items on, but they are also appealing to look at. They can add beauty and style to your home or office space. So, whether you are looking for shelving for your master bedroom, family room, living room, or even your bathroom, you can easily make your own shelf.

16 DIY Shelves to Get You Organized

There are many reasons to make shelving instead of buying it. Not only can you save a lot of money, but you can also make shelves that match your style. Get as creative as you wish. Naturally, use the directions as a guide, but you can always make little changes to make them your own. Here are a few tips to get you started!

  • Use wood you already have around. If you’ve done other crafting or woodworking projects, odds are you already have some wood around your home.
  • Go places and shop for old pieces of wood. Using older wood and repurposing it will give your space even more charm and character. Keep your eyes peeled for pieces of wood that other people are throwing out; you’ll be amazed at the stuff you can come across.
  • Shelving doesn’t only have to be made out of wood. You could hang plastic baskets, use old books, or just about anything else can be transformed into a shelf. Use your imagination and go wild!
  • Add some color! You don’t have to only use plain stained wood. You can paint the wood to match your preferences or stain it in a brighter color. It’s essential to give your work your own unique spin to allow your personality to shine through.

    I’m definitely a big fan of shelves! I made some in my room, kitchen and the living room. The thing is that, it doesn’t looked floating in the air with it’s T bracket. But that floating sheld, definitely lookeds great!

    I am making an arts craft room. In the corner of the wall, I will have my television mounted on the ceiling. The desk will be in the corner way below the tv. I would like shelves to hold my radio, stereo and turntable, so the shelf will have to be wide and sturdy enough to hold it. In the rest of the room I will be using the ready made plain white shelves on the rails so I can change the shelves to any height. Does anyone have a solution for this that will be inexpensive? I am a handicapped senior woman so it needs to fit into my budget. Thanks
