Wall mounted storage

5 years ago

I am looking for ideas and suggestions for wall mounted shelving options for the wall above this chest of drawers in our bedroom.

I would like to use the wall for storing books and hanging art/pictures as opposed to collecting clutter and cr*p as at present. My partner also wants somewhere to hang his neither-dirty-nor-clean shirts between wears.

The room has a blue to grey colour scheme with wooden furniture and doors. The house is a small Victorian terrace so storage and floor/wall space is at a premium, and this is what I see from my side of the bed so I would like something nicer to look at!

My current thought is to do some floating shelves with oak boards similar to this but my partner doesn't think they'd be strong enough

Hi Lydia. We have the same ikea drawers but in white, here’s what I did with shelving/display (see photo). Originally put the shelves this way so our cat had somewhere to jump up and get away from the dog but he doesn’t use it so it’s just somewhere I can display my girlie pretty things:-) Hubby likes to drape his clothes everywhere as well and I’ve not found a solution yet but I’ve got some ideas which I’ll add in next comment.

Maybe try putting shelves to cover the neck of the extractor fan and filling it with spices and oils

Hi! I'm looking for some inspiration for this side of our kitchen which we are renovating. Everything is going bar the Rayburn which is very much off centre! We have plenty of storage elsewhere so other than a bit of necessary work surface we're open to all ideas. Thank you!

Cannot see any pictures, but I use acoustic tape for top of joists, Remove dust, dirt etc from joists and just tape on Easy I use 18mm subfloor, exterior grade ply, with spacing between boards of 2mm, to allow for shrinkage and expansion, mastic joints Screw down with floor Tite screws, job done Also recommend 100mm stonewool slabs between joists for ceilings, and stud walls You could also fit a suitable flooring, cork floor or similar, deep pile carpet is also excellent Note , sizing and spacing of joists critical

Some hanging rail ideas (click to enlarge). I like the peg rail the best although perhaps better suited for a utility room.

Thanks Rachel, your shelves look good.

I like the idea of the fold out hanging hook, very neat. And it's an interesting idea having a mini hanging rail, could work above our laundry basket.
