Shelving Ideas for every room in the home
When it comes to storage solutions in the home, shelving is one of the simplest and most flexible options there is. Not only can it be very cost effective, but it can be used in almost every room in the home.

You might also like to consider some floating shelves on your walls where you can display pretty containers, your pans or even your crockery. There is plenty of scope in your kitchen to add a variety of different types of shelving. Once you start looking, you might be surprised by just how much there is.
The Bathroom
You might not have considered shelving for your bathroom, but this is one room in the house that can always seem a little short on storage space. Bathroom shelving is, in fact
The ways in which you use shelving in your home, and the types of shelving you choose, is limited only by your imagination. It can provide you with some much more than just a practical storage solution.
