Dear Fiona, thank you very much. The shelves are lit with integrated LED lighting strips- the channels housing the strips have been routed in the each shelf. There's also a picture light in the niche designed for housing artwork.

Good luck with your family conversion project. Please let us know if you have any further questions.

Open shelves in kitchens - a good idea?
Q
Comments (28)
I understand the aesthetic appeal of open shelving, but it would never work for me. I live in NYC and am pressed for space. So I prefer to keep my filled-to-the-brim shelves hidden behind cabinet doors. Makes for a cleaner look. And even behind those cabinet doors, the dust can build up. I shudder to think how quickly my stuff would get dusty and grimy if it was out there in the open.

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!

Without Removing the Shelves, How Can I Use this Bedroom Space?

I would unscrew them from the wall and put a chest of drawers there. They could be stored under the bed until you leave this rental..... Alternatively the landlord might have other uses for them now.

I think if i were supporting something very heavy ( and the shelves give and indication of max weight on the boxes ) I'd be tempted to go right through the stud wall to the brick/ block behind and use bolts long enough. Floorboards will not work on their own, they're not thick enough, they'd need a support underneath. You'd ideally need to go for something a lot thicker to get the bolts in the middle and avoid mishaps! Something like a 7"x3", you can still get something that looks aged from a reclaimed timber yard. However, I would point out that most dinner plates are standard 10" across, so you need to bear this in mind too, as a timber to put them on would need to be 12" by 3 or 4" I'd suggest that maybe it would be better to build a structure from reclaimed timber that had supports either end that went to the floor or the counter top at the very least.
