Must-have in the living room - wall shelves in various designs
The living area is where life happens and living room shelves are a big part of it. The versatile pieces of furniture are a must in every living room and can be used in many ways. In addition to useful everyday helpers, they also function as beautiful decorative objects or at least as storage for such. At Metallbude you can find out why wall shelves should not be missing in your living room, which functions they fulfill, what you should pay attention to and how you integrate them into your style.
That's why you need wall shelves in the living room
In the living room, wall shelves can show themselves in a wide variety of facets. A classic bookshelf, for example, is stable, offers space for your favorite books and puts them in the limelight. The same goes for a CD or DVD shelf. Wall mounted wine racks offer space for 5 to 10 of your favorite wines. Of course, you can place a lot of other items on wall shelves. Metallbude's modern wall shelves conjure up a sleek and tidy look in any room. They are puristic and simple and can therefore be easily integrated into different styles. Because they can be combined in so many ways, they suit almost any decor. Place vases, pictures or plants on them, because with high-quality workmanship and attachment, wall shelves are robust, easy to care for and durable. Thanks to wall mounting, they also take up little space and appear as if they are floating in the room. This leaves the floor space free for other furniture.
A wall shelf in the living room can fulfill these functions
Before you decide on a wall shelf, you should be clear about what you want to put on it, how much space you have available and which design you prefer. If you need a lot of space, then decide on several wall shelves, which you may mount a little offset. This not only offers more storage space, but conjures up a cool look. If you don't have a lot of space, then opt for narrow wall shelves that are more tall than wide, for example the NIVO model from Metallbude. Here you can store a lot on three shelves and you also save space. The RIVO metal shelf is also space-saving and a real decorative highlight. Its grid-like design can be fitted with various accessories, such as wooden or metal shelves and a mirror. In addition, the metal shelf is available in beige , white and black and is therefore really compatible with any interior.
You should pay attention to this when you buy wall shelves for the living room
You have quite a large selection when it comes to the right wall shelf for your living room. Depending on what you want to place on the shelf, decide whether you want it to be open or closed. Of course, it should definitely match your interior design style (more on that in the next section). It is important that it is easy to care for and easy to keep clean. Metal shelves in particular can guarantee this. On top of that, assembly is usually easy and they are stable and resilient, which leads us to the next point. Make sure that the carrying capacity is not exceeded. Depending on what you want to place on the shelf, it should be hung at different heights:
- Wall shelf at eye level: This is where the highlights go. Decoration, beautiful plants, pictures, vases and everything that should be seen directly.
- Wall shelves on the upper levels: This is where boxes and small baskets come in, in which you can store odds and ends. Make sure that these do not appear too massive and that the overall picture remains harmonious.
Placing wall shelves at different heights creates a relaxed atmosphere. Material contrasts, such as that between wood and metal, are exciting and can be implemented not only in the choice of shelf, but also in the accessories that are placed on the shelf.
Integrate wall shelves in the living room into any style
Wall shelves always find a place in the living room, regardless of the furnishing style. Here some examples:
- Industrial style: If you are furnishing yourself with an industrial style, black metal wall shelves are a must. In combination with dark-grained wood or leather, these create a great mix of styles and materials. Wide spaces that exude a loft flair are helpful for this style. Because of the dark colors, there should be many windows that provide additional light.
- Scandi style: In the Scandi style, simple shapes are required. For example, mix light or even white wood with white or beige metal elements. Pastel colors can be used in this style but should not dominate.
- Modern and minimalist: Especially if you have a minimalist interior , practically all doors are open to you. However, stay away from overly ornate designs. Straight shapes are more suitable for your home. Use colors like white, grey, black or beige and use metal wall shelves.
