An all-time favorite solution to fill up empty wall space in a practical and aesthetically pleasing way, floating shelves have now reached a crossroad. The ease of installation and possibilities of various display options has made them a go-to for DIY-ers everywhere, and there won’t be many homes where you won’t see at least one floating shelf, somewhere.
But for those design forward thinkers out there the appeal is starting to wear off. Surely there must be more creative ways to rethink wall storage that goes beyond the go-to floating shelves. If not completely outdated, they’re just maybe a little bit overdone. I asked interior designers if floating shelves are still in style and also some suggestions for alternative shelving ideas that could work instead.
