Question 1

Why are my wall shelves better than regular shelves?

Accepted Answer

Some people prefer regular shelves because they tend to be safer, but wall shelves are more popular because of their space-saving designs. These products don’t take up floor space and can hold a lot of objects, especially since they don't have any borders. A lot of people also think that wall shelves are just better-looking compared to most regular shelves too, which is why these products have kind of surpassed traditional models — at least where home decor is concerned.

Question 2

Where is the ideal location to put my wall shelves?

Accepted Answer

The ideal location for placing wall shelves is on a wall with little or no hangings, like art on a blank canvas. And it’s a good idea to place your shelves at eye level too, around 4 to 5 feet from the floor. Just make sure you don’t put up your wall shelves near busy or cluttered areas like beside cupboards or frames.

Question 3

How far apart should my wall shelves be from each other?

Accepted Answer

You can decide the distance between your wall shelves based on the appearance and height of the objects you set on them. But a good rule of thumb for spacing two to three wall shelves is to have a minimum of 12 inches and a maximum of 18 inches between them.

Question 4

Can I install wall shelves by myself?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the installation method of the wall shelves that you have. If you have polished wood planks, you might need to consult a professional for all the drilling. But with pre-assembled wall shelves that come with tools and accessories, almost anyone can hang them with a little help.
