Modular shelving – our pick of the best
Modular shelving is the perfect choice for storage if you want to create a contemporary living space. Low-level modular shelving can be used as a modern alternative to a sideboard in the living room, which is perfect for table lamps, photo frames and coffee table books. Alternatively, choose smart bookshelves in oak, white or walnut to fit into alcoves, or to divide areas in an open-plan space. Cube shelving can be used in sets of three or four to provide much-needed storage solutions, or opt for wall-hung shelving to create an attractive display when filled with your favourite accessories. Add a little colour to a neutral scheme with powder-coated steel shelving, or perhaps try wire shelving for a contemporary twist. Both these types of shelving can be stacked for an eye-catching modular arrangement. Be inspired by our selection of the best designs.
