Open shelving can be a fantastic way to boost storage while also showing off your favorite items. However, styling those shelves in a way that's both practical and visually appealing can be tricky. We're here to guide you through decluttering and giving your shelves a fresh new look!
When it comes to choosing the right brackets for your shelves, they play a crucial role in both the style and functionality of your setup. Don't underestimate their importance—consider your bracket selection just as carefully, if not more so, than the items you'll display on them.
For starters, think about the finish. If you're using natural wood shelves, darker tones like Matt Black or Aged Bronze can add depth and elegance. On the other hand, if your shelves are painted timber or marble, warmer materials such as Polished Brass or Aged Brass might suit better. For a cooler aesthetic, Polished Chrome or Satin Chrome brackets could be a sleek option, especially in modern spaces.
Take a moment to consider the finer details to ensure your home feels cohesive. Matching your shelf brackets with existing ironmongery, like door handles and cabinet knobs, can bring a sense of intentionality to your space. This attention to detail will elevate your room and create harmony.
The style of your brackets matters too. Minimalists might appreciate the clean lines of the Chalfont shelf bracket, which pairs beautifully with Brompton lever handles or Plain edge pulls for a contemporary look.
If you live in a period property, perhaps a more decorative option like the Tyne shelf bracket would suit. These can complement ornate hardware such as Beehive door knobs and Hinton lever handles, adding character to a classic interior.
Once your shelves are up and your brackets are installed, it's time to arrange your belongings. Start by placing a centerpiece—a conversation starter—in the middle of the shelf. Think large candles, sculptures, or statement vases. Surround it with items of different heights—smaller candles, trinkets, books—to create visual interest. Using pieces of the same color across multiple shelves can unify the look, whether it's matching bowls in the kitchen or coordinated toiletries in the bathroom.
Play around with stacking books sideways, layering art, and incorporating plants for pops of green. Remember, balance is key—too much empty space looks sparse, but overcrowding can lead to clutter. Every item should serve a purpose—either functionally or aesthetically. Complement your brackets by selecting accessories in similar finishes; for instance, Aged Brass brackets pair wonderfully with warm, dark-toned accessories.
