Quick & Simple Shelving

Shelving Ideas to Organise your Home

Shelving is the quickest and easiest way to bring more order to your home and there are plenty of options out there which means you can find the best shelving solutions for your space. It can be used for both long term and short term storage solutions, and open shelving is an easy and inexpensive way to organise your home. Shelving is definitely something we know a thing or two about at Urbaboxx, so we have compiled a quick guide to shelving to help you divide and conquer your home.

The first thing is to take into consideration are your circumstances. Freestanding Shelving is particularly good if you are in rented accommodation. That way you can take it with you when you go. Freestanding shelving also has another benefit of being modular, so you can add to it if you need more at a later stage.

Then you need to consider your space, what rooms do you need to organise and what do you want to achieve from the shelving? For example, you can use shelving as a practical room divider, perhaps to split a lounge and dining room in a large open plan space. In which case you will want open freestanding shelving, and it will need to look good as well as it becomes more of a focal point of the room. Our Chrome Wire Shelving is both practical and hard wearing, with a sleek modern look to compliment your living area. Again, the entire range is modular so you can increase the size with extra units as needed.  Not only that, but it’s easy to assemble with no tools required.

If you are looking to make a real statement you could consider Industrial Shelving. This is not only sturdy and robust, it is also bold and dominant in design. It is built to withstand substantial heavy-weight loads so is perfect for garage shelving, shed and store rooms where there is often a requirement to store more hefty tools, materials and machinery. It’s rougher and tougher qualities make it a sound solution to any cooler or outbuilding space such as an underground cellar or stables. Plus it has boltless assembly and adjustable shelves so you can make it fit around the product sizes you wish to stock.

Adjustable Wall Shelving is a great option for a home office, especially if that space is just a nook in the corner of the room. You can create a dedicated area, making the most of the wall space and having everything in one place. It takes just seconds to adjust the height, making it extremely flexible. You can even build it around your desk and add extra shelves if needed. These also work very well in utility rooms, kids’ play rooms and even kitchens. You could even consider using them to create your own pantry.

It is both practical and eye-catching to cover an entire wall with shelving, which can easily be done with modular pieces. With this, and with all shelving, consider buying a little step stool to reach the higher up items. Be sure to place heavier items on lower shelves. And if working with open shelving, mix up what’s on the shelves to make it more visually appealing. Add a plant, some vases or pieces of art to make a design feature of your shelving.
