How were the shelves fixed?

10 years ago

Hi, we want to fix american ash shelves in our kitchen. We want it look as "floating" as possible, but the shelves are too heavy. How did you fix the shelves to the wall?

I could send you a detail - I'd have to pull the drawings from archive. Message me at heather@placearchitects.com if you'd like me to do that for you. Thanks!

You have a fairly small bathroom, which is why the tiles have been kept neutral and light. What's missing is some items that will pop. You could spring for a nicer sink arrangement. The cabinet around a pedestal was never a good look. Is there enough room between the bath and the opposite wall to turn the sink and move it towards the toilet to give you more worktop space and storage at the end of the bath? If not, keep the sink where it is, but use a vanity to look more fitted. The bath can be altered to provide more storage. Although this image shows open storage, you could have a panel front created with a drop down panel on a push fitting http://www.dovcorbathrooms.co.uk/blog/view/a-great-bath-storage-idea Changing the radiator to a heated towel ladder you will be able to hang colourful towels. Put up a hand towel bar or ring above the right hand side of the sink. Get rid of the toilet roll stand and hang the roll from a holder that matches the hand towel rail. Store extra rolls under the sink. Paint the long wall in one of the colours in the border tile, perhaps a richer beige. An interesting large mirror would visually widen the room. Alternatively, try a pale blue wall colour and richer mid blue towels mixed with brown towels. (this photo shows how sophisticated blue, brown and beige can be) [https://www.houzz.co.uk/photos/sioux-falls-residence-contemporary-living-room-minneapolis-phvw-vp~15685118[(https://www.houzz.co.uk/photos/sioux-falls-residence-contemporary-living-room-minneapolis-phvw-vp~15685118) There doesn't appear to be any lighting other than overhead. A light over the sink area would vastly improve that corner. The floor does nothing for the room. Why not choose a vinyl floor from Amtico or Karndean in a dark wood board effect? The tiles in your bathroom can be skimmed over by a professional fitter and the new floor laid directly on top. It would also be warmer underfoot. http://www.karndean.com/en-gb/floors/explore-by-room/bathroom.

Brackets or floating shelves?
Q

Hi Claire, both compare the same I'm sure and they should give you some max load strength on the packaging. The floating shelf brackets are perfectly strong enough but again you just need to check your load capacity. Personally I think they look much nicer than the other brackets and you should be able to get a good fixing in your wall. We've fitted a number of these and never had a problem :) All the best, Jason

I want to do similar with my kitchen,how do you fix the onix to island
Q
Comments (2)
Fixing onyx to an island in this way will create a beautiful feature and it's something we're very familiar with. The main considerations are around the back lighting. The stone must be attached in such a way so as not to create shadows and dark patches. Equally, the right lights and spacing must be used to create an even light throughout the panel. Another consideration is future access to the lights in case they need changing. If you'd like some technical advice on this for your project, you are welcome to contact our designers on 01344 898915 who would be happy to help you.

Could it be because it’s not even where you took off the other layer? Did you sand it off the same?
