DIY Shelving? Yes And Yes

June 28, 2021 · Cherry · Leave a Comment

Having more storage space is a struggle that troubles homeowners and apartment dwellers alike. There’s always a question of where you’re going to show off books, family photos, and small decorative objects.

This may seem like the simple answer, but the key to most storage woes is proper shelving. Wall and floor shelves offer flexible options, whether you’re trying to fit storage into a small corner or an open floor plan.

And what’s even better about shelving? You can create some with a DIY project! That’s right; with a few supplies and a free afternoon, you can create shelves that perfectly fit your needs and style.

Need some inspiration? Here’s your quick guide to building your own shelving.

Why Build Your Own Shelving?

In this digital age, everything is at our fingertips. And that includes any furniture we want. Search online, and you can find any style, size, and material, then have that product at your doorstep within a couple of days.

That all sounds good, but what’s stopping you from building your own shelving? More often than not, the cost of the materials needed is much less than the bought product.

And you don’t need to be a carpenter. Follow a few easy DIY guides, and you can have a replica of those fancy designer shelves in a day or two.

What Materials Do You Need?

The materials you need are going to vary, depending on what kind of shelving project you’re completing. But if you boil it down to the basics, most projects need wood, mounting hardware, screws, and a finish like a stain or paint.

Of course, how much you need depends on the size of the shelving, as well as the style of the shelf. Mounting hardware may be a difference of shelf brackets visible from under the shelf or hidden behind.

And the look of the wood that creates the shelf depends on which variety you choose; for example, the difference between a light oak and a dark cherry.

However, with these basic materials, you can create almost any style of shelving you want.

Homemade Shelving DIY Projects

When you have the right materials, the possibilities are endless. Flip through the pages of a magazine or browse an online blog to get inspired. Here are a few easy shelving ideas you might love.

Add a little contemporary Scandanavian design with inspired shelf brackets and light wood boards. Or try something a little geometric by cutting wood for the sides of a triangular or hexagonal shelf.

Try a wine rack, laundry storage, or the classic farmhouse floating shelves. Get creative to solve the storage needs in your home.

Shelving Is the Quick Storage Solution

Picture this: you’re flipping through the pages of a design magazine. One image stands out, and you can’t get it out of your head. Why pay astronomical prices when you can DIY a similar finished product?

You don’t have to be a professional handyman to have stunning shelving in your home. All you need is an open weekend and some material from the hardware stores.
