wall shelves for beside sofa
I have an exposed brick wall with my electric fire in the middle of. Between my fire and sofa there is a little gap so I would like ideas of some narrow set of shelves I could attach to the wall? I think this would be a smarter way to hold any magazines, remote controls and drinks that usually cause a mess
I would also like to attach a metal holder to hold my extension plug power pack and enable me to access phone charger, use heater/fire etc and get wires off the floor
I am no DIY expert but any links or ideas would be appreciated! I’ve attached a photo to explain the space and surface I have to work with
Thanks!

These walls look too plain beside Red Brick wall, any ideas please?
Comments (20)I agree deepen the color, don't change it and yes art art art! maybe lessen the presence of the brick with the earlier suggestion of the metal cogs its and use traditional artwork pics/nature/paintings on the painted wall. I also like the idea to paint the part of the wall that juts out in a darker shade of the same color. Now you have lots to consider and lots to dismiss as well. Good luck and have fun...See MoreNavy and gold hieroglyphic fabric on large corner sofa...
Comments (9)At the moment all your stuff is concentrated at one side of he room making it cluttered and bare at the same time. Pictures need to go at eye height, so maybe get a simple shelf built above the sofa at eye height for some knick knacks. Somehow your pictures seem very high up on the wall. You could cluster them together above the sofa maybe? You can still have your mantel but with maybe a better-selected range of bits on it. Agree that some shelving might be good in the alcoves but not above the line of the top of those pictures. I would have gone for a much darker colour for the walls (like navy blue) because the sofa would have blended in a bit more and it would look luxurious against the dark background. Plus dark colours give your stuff an instant quality upgrade. (I always say it makes my sh*t look like stuff) Sorry that's unhelpful as you've obviously made those decisions!!...See MoreColour scheme to go with red sofa and cooker
Comments (12)Paint the wood floor with a flooring paint. If you want to be creative, you can create your own special design. I've had painted wood floors in a previous home and everyone loved them. If you get tired of it, paint them a different color! Saves doing rip out and better for the environment! My floors held up well. I was surprised. I even did a faux marble floor for fun....See MoreHelp with colour and couch position in new living area in extension
Comments (0)Hi, We have just completed an extension at the back of our house. We are going to put a tv out on the wall on the right and maybe a low level unit and floating shelves on the wall. We were going to get a 3 seater and 2 seater. The dining area is a dark grey and kitchen is white. Would love some input as to colours for the walls and maybe layout of couches! Thanks a mil...See More

3 years agoI think having that sort of stuff on shelves, on view, just adds to the clutter. I agree with Carolina, good storage is the key. A coffee table with storage is a fab idea, as is a storage footstool. My footstool is packed with stuff like remotes, magazines, instructions manuals, but you just shut the lid and all is tidy again. Heres some storage ideas
