Love the shelving! Dimensions?

7 years ago

Beautiful airy space! I'm curious about the shelving dimensions (depth) and how the unit was "planned" (designed to hold specific pieces? simply sketched out on the wall?) LOVE!

Hi, That shelf is extraordinary due to it's simplicity and the seeming randomness of the design. I'm the photographer that took the picture rather than the designer so can only send you to OB Architecture for answers, I've seeen another similar shelf in another OB Architecture project elsewhere and they really do work.

Hello, Pleased you like it. It's about 2.8m high by 5.5m long, and the depth varies from 400-600mm. The design was carefully modelled in 3d and drawn out in CAD for the joiner. Happy to provide you with a design, if you would like one commissioned.

Floating shelves or built shelving unit?

Hi, It looks like you already have a dark wood feature mirror in that room so have you thought about having matching shelves in the same colour? Chunky floating ones would look nice to hold towels on etc. If you wanted to go even further, then you could have the wall built out so that the shelving was recessed into the wall with little lights above each shelf - but of course it's a lot more work & money!

Hiya, What a lovely space you've created - you must be so pleased! A little bit of advice for your blind - Fauxwood is a perfect material for a bathroom as it's easy to wipe clean and won't warp in steamy conditions. And to get the shutter look you speak about, choose tape instead of cords with your wide slats. You'll get a similar effect at a fraction of the price. Good luck, Zoe

Have a look at this one, a combo of open but not entirely open shelving. Have a look at this open shelving compromise, I think it looks great. I would go for either metal or thin wood shelving. If you go for wood, steer clear of chunky ones, they will "weight" the kitchen down. In terms of size, if you're not installing a cooker hood then go the full width of the wall, an option is for the top shelf to be shorter as per picture below to avoid a "solid" feel. In your wall 2 shelves would look great (3 might look busy and it will be harder to keep a clean tidy look daily). great kitchen btw

My friend had a huge blank wall (no window) with a rubbishy, non original, fireplace, and she decided to buy a big shelving unit from Ikea and removed the fireplace. I was sceptical but it looks amazing and it houses her tv, books and ornaments. The room is decorated in soft grey and yellow and the unit is white so it doesn’t look too heavy. I haven’t got a picture of hers but it’s something like this ( first pic is Ikea).
