1) Which shelves to choose? There are shelves of many shapes, materials and sizes. Each has its own style: the modern shelves are perfect for a house furnished with grit and design furniture, while the wooden shelves adapt better to a more "natural" or Scandinavian environment. To furnish with shelves you have to pay attention to the style of your home and choose the shelves that best suit your needs!

2) How to arrange the shelves? When you choose to decorate a wall with shelves, arrange your shelves on the floor and start carefully studying the distances and shapes of the shelves (a wall full of holes is not the best, isn't it?). Not only that: also think about how to combine the shelves to create an equipped wall worthy of the name! Design the arrangement of the shelves alternating them with photos and frames to be displayed in an original way to create a coherent and well-balanced setting.

3) What to put on the shelves? The question of the questions! We love the philosophy of less is more, that is, few objects, chosen with the utmost care and without crowding the shelves too much. Of course, there is no real answer to this question because it all depends on the room. Here, the time has come to offer you some ideas for decorating your home with shelves!
