7 Creative Wall Shelves Ideas For Small Homes In Singapore | Wihardja
Bookshelves are often deemed as just a space to store books and other items in the house. Most bookshelf designs you can find in the market in Singapore are also more often than not similar to each other. What sets one wall shelf apart from the other is usually just the dimensions, colour and the material it’s made from. Other than that, the shape of the bookshelf is pretty standard across – a rectangular shape with shelves to be placed against the wall.
But with limited space at home, shelves are often dismissed as they’re not seen as an essential piece of furniture to have. While traditional shelves take up floor space, wall storage shelves do not! They can serve as a great display area for you to add a personal touch to your space, showcasing your collections and creating a focal point to the room. They also increase your storage space without eating your floor space.
Instead of opting for a traditional shelf, get inspired with these unique wall shelving ideas for your home.
