Shelf brackets:

6 years ago

Hi! Beautiful work! Are there only the two visible, ornamental brackets holding up the marble shelf at either end? Thanks!

That's correct, two brackets hold the shelf up; they provide support and are not solely ornamental. Do make sure that any brackets you consider using are suitable for the load imposed by the shelf and that the fixings and wall are suitably specified...Good luck with your project, Kind Regards, Guy

Ikea sells shelves that are 119cm long and not that chunky, however they're not solid wood. http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/categories/departments/living_room/20658/ Wayfair also sell lots of shelves, although solid wood ones are pretty expensive: http://www.wayfair.co.uk/Wall-Shelf-30953-30952-MYCR1634.html http://www.wayfair.co.uk/Shelving-Units-C1802453.html If you want to get something with lots of shelves already assembled, this Habitat unit is quite neat: http://www.habitat.co.uk/loki-black-5-shelf-bookcase-120859 Good luck!

I assume you like the central groove and so you might search for stacked corbels which seems to bring up lots of availability from America. https://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/SOLID-AMERICAN-OAK-CORBEL-SET-triple-stacked-MANTEL-BRACKET-CORBELS-PAIR/162521706249?hash=item25d70c6f09:m:mzfjPVlQLViCcKZsbBRU9-w I suspect that actually your image shows two shelf brackets that have been put together for extra strength https://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/Wooden-Corbels-Brackets-shelf-brackets/112639077722?hash=item1a39cfed5a:g:BIYAAOSwpHFZadrL

Looks like the desk is too high for you anyway (note cushions on chair), so it’s a genius idea (suggested by Simon Lee above) & by far the simplest idea to trim the desk legs down to reduce the height. It’s too high for comfortable typing anyway & your back will suffer in the long term! No need to move shelves or change location of desk or buy anything else!

Hello. It looks like the room needs to be softened. The great thing about white is that you can add to it. What are your favourite colours and add white to it to make it lighter. Is there a favourite object you have in your dinning room and add some accessories to match it. You can soften by using wood plants and lighting. You have two box shelves why not put then together in one of the alcoves. That would give you the impression of a bookshelf. You could then get a plank of wood or shelf and place it on it. Which would leave the top to put big books plants / favourite things on it. There are lots of thing you can use to prop up a shelf as long as they are the same height, stools, boxes, wooden blocks, square or other shaped glass vases... You could change the colour of the box shelf fronts, there are an amazing range of paints so get a tester pots or B&Q or other DIY shop will make out colours for you just take the thing you want to match with you. Also there are lots of different colour duck tapes that you could use. Or get wallpaper samples and line the cubes or the outside edge. Do not over fill the cubes with books so you see the lining. Change the look of the files, and boxes by covering them, again wall paper samples, or even fabrics. If you have a fav dress, skirt, trousers, duvet even, that have a pattern or something you like, but no longer fits, use them instead to cover them. In the other alcove, match it to make it symmetrical or put a large plant pot in there. Resting next to it can be more books. Add a picture next to it. Lighting would soften the area's. Some battery powered string lights which you can put in a glass vase, or on the perimeter of the alcoves. You can pin them using a stapler or tool station does an extra strong double sided tape called mammoth. Note it will take your paint off if not careful, so to check position, use bluetac first. The chimney breast could be your favorite pastel colour or strong colour. Or the white framed mirror could be the favourite colour. You could put lots of framed and unframed pictures on it. Charity shops have an amazing frames for pennies. I have even found postersize frames and 3D frames for under a £1. Websites like freeprints will print off pictures for the price of postage, a bit more if you want bigger images. You can frame postcards, images of from magazines, newspapers. Make your own, typographic inspiration, or a persons quote from your computer and frame it... Another shelf / over mantle under the mirror would give another dimension to the area. P.S. Do not forget ebay and local charity shops for shelving. I hope this helps.... but most of all experiment and have fun.
