With their minimalist design and ability to create an illusion of floating on the wall, our shelves are a versatile and stylish addition to any room. Discover the art of modern storage and showcase your cherished items with our exceptional array of floating shelves.
Constructed from a medite MDF core, these should show no signs of warping. Our white option is melamine board so has a slight sheen and superb waterproof properties. Our black floating shelves are professionally primed and painted in hardwearing paint for a perfectly smooth and relatively matte finish. The walnut and oak floating shelves are made from walnut veneered MDF and oak veneered MDF, respectively. They are then finished with a semi-sheen lacquer. If you prefer to have them unfinished, please contact us and we can accommodate.
These use near-invisible brackets that slot inside the shelf itself so as to allow the shelf board itself to be the only visible component. With a wide variety of colours and finishes, our floating shelves can be used in all sorts of environments to match a wide breadth of decor environments.
We supply floating shelf brackets with our floating shelves and these are also available separately. These do not come with screws as you will need to determine what type of screws are most suitable for your wall material. As there are multiple types of floating brackets, you are required to choose the one most suitable for your wall material on the product building for the shelf.
The number of brackets provided will vary depending on the width of your shelf. The shelf depth minimum and maximum dimensions are determined by the floating shelf bracket length. If you require a particular size that isn’t available, please don’t hesitate to contact us and we will see what we can do to assist you.
Frequently Asked Questions about Floating Shelves
What are floating shelves?
Floating wall shelves are a contemporary storage solution designed to create a visually striking display or add a storage area without visible brackets or supports. These shelves appear to "float" on the wall, adding a touch of elegance and a clean, modern aesthetic to any space.
What are the benefits of using floating shelves?
Floating shelves offer several advantages. Firstly, they maximize your wall space without taking up floor area, making them an ideal choice for small rooms or areas where space is limited. Secondly, their minimalist design allows you to showcase your favorite decor pieces or organize items with a sleek, uncluttered look. Finally, floating shelves can be easily installed and offer great flexibility in terms of height and arrangement, making them versatile and suitable for various room layouts.
Do you offer made-to-measure floating shelves?

Our made-to-measure service allows you to customize the dimensions, material, and finish of your floating shelf.

How do I install floating shelves?
Installing floating shelves is a straightforward process. Generally, the installation involves locating and marking the studs on your wall, attaching the included brackets or supports, and then sliding the floating shelf onto the brackets. Check out our guide for step by step instructions on How To Install Floating Shelves.
Can floating shelves hold a lot of weight?
The weight capacity of floating shelves can vary depending on several factors, including the materials used, the installation method, and the structural integrity of the wall. While it is difficult to provide an exact weight limit without specific details, floating shelves are typically designed to support moderate to heavy loads.
To hold the most weight we recommend fixing to a masonry wall with adjustable plate brackets and at least 50mm screws and wall plugs. It will hold considerably less weight if fixed to a plasterboard wall or studs.
