Shelving ideas – 10 of the best

Make a hallway radiator look 10 times better with a stylish radiator cover and shelf. Add a few well chosen books, plants and framed pictures above.

A kitchen doesn't just have to be purely practical. Make one shelf a 'styled' shelf to fill with accessories that tie together the whole kitchen scheme.

Brighten up a shelf by adding pretty fairy or tea lights - they'll bring a warm glow to picture frames and other styled objects.

For a super striking look in your living room, create an area where the wall, shelf and accessories are all stark white for a stand-out feel that will look good for years.

Wall-hung drawers are handy in a bedroom. Use as a slimline dressing table and finish the look with a stylish chair, chic mirrors and oh-so-pretty accessories.

A narrow picture shelf above a sofa or table is a fab way to display art and favourite accessories. Paint the shelf the same colour as the wall for a super-chic look.

Line up a selection of books on a shelf with quirky bookends. A smart, eyecatching wallpaper adds extra character.

Display your favourite holiday memories by popping them on a simple shelf. Homemade photo stands are oh-so easy to make using wire and pebbles and work particularly well with seaside snaps!
