Wall and Floating Shelves

Q: Do floating shelves have to go into studs?

Yes, shelves that float do have to go into studs. You can use them as a decorative feature or as a way to hold things for display. They are especially useful in areas where space is limited but the need for storage is high, such as hallways and small spaces.

Q: How deep should floating shelves be?

The depth of your shelves is a matter of personal taste. While the ideal depth should be at least 10cm, you can go as deep as you'd like. If you’re planning to place the shelves in your kitchen then deeper wall shelves make more sense.

Q: Is installing floating shelves hard?

This depends on the type of floating shelves as some are designed to be easier to install. If you’re nervous about doing so, there are plenty of professionals who’ll be able to take care of it quickly and easily.

Types of wall and floating shelves

Built-in shelves

Built-in options are usually built into studs or walls, so they're not movable. They're ideal if you want a shelf that will stay put.

Adjustable shelves

Adjustable wall-mounted shelves come with features that make them better for certain spaces than others. They have casters so you can move them easily.

Top hung shelves

These are the most common shelving types today. They can be attached with nails or hooks depending on the type of material used.

The advantages of high-quality wall and floating shelves

This makes them more robust and easy to install. They are also aesthetically pleasing with stylish detailing that elevates and enhances a space. These suppliers don’t cut corners when it comes to quality which is why their products are so highly-rated and popular in New Zealand.

How to choose a wall and floating shelf that's right for you

The first thing to consider when choosing a wall and floating shelf in New Zealand is the size. This will be influenced by the amount of space you have on the chosen wall and the number of possessions you wish to store. When it comes to storage, it’s always wise to give yourself a little more storage than you need right now, to accommodate purchases in the future. Looking for quality materials is also important, especially when it comes to shelving which has to bear the weight of your items. Aesthetics are also vital. As you’ll quickly see, there’s quite a wide range of styles when it comes to wall and floating shelves which means you’ve got a great opportunity to create a fresh look with your eventual choice.

Are floating shelves strong?

High-quality floating shelves are crafted from industrial-grade, steel and aluminium or wood. They can withstand the weight of heavy objects when properly installed making them very practical for day-to-day storage.
