Simple yet so versatile – that’s what wall shelves are all about. They often consist of nothing more than a board and therefore fit even into those corners of the home where larger shelves no longer stand a chance. In no time at all, you have a practical storage option for all your belongings. If you need more space, simply combine several boards. But it’s not just their versatility that speaks for wall shelves: with these shelves, you can also brighten up bare walls – whether in the hallway or the living room.

They also stand out for their easy installation. Important here: the right construction. Because in addition to the boards, the brackets are also essential and only make a wall shelf complete. Browse our range and beautify your walls with the right brackets!

Wall Shelves: Practical Shelving for Living Rooms, Hallways & More

Anyone looking to upgrade their home with wall shelves now has plenty of choice. Whether one board or several, mounted in parallel or offset, and whether made of wood or another material – the possibilities are diverse. The key is not only the right design, but above all the right mounting. After all, nothing placed on the shelf later should end up falling down. You should therefore first know exactly what you want to store or place on it, because this ultimately determines which type of bracket you need. The range extends from brackets that can support only a few kilograms and are ideal for decorative items, to heavy-duty brackets that can easily handle up to 500 kilograms. In terms of material, you can choose between steel, aluminum, wood, or stainless steel, and the designs also vary from clean and simple to ornate or arabesque.

Installing Wall Shelves

When installing wall shelves, always pay attention to the construction and condition of your wall. These aspects determine which wall plugs are suitable. Is it a wall made of a solid building material such as masonry or solid plaster? Then you can use standard wall plugs – with some wall shelves, these are even included in the delivery. If, however, you want to mount your wall shelf on a wall made of drywall panels, use cavity wall plugs. They have the advantage of expanding behind the panel and thus preventing them from slipping out. Unsure? Then consult a professional. With unequal-angle brackets and shelf supports, you should always mount the long side to the wall so that the shorter side carries the shelf board. This increases the load-bearing capacity of the entire construction. In some cases, the reverse installation is also permitted – provided you adapt the load to the conditions. Be sure to check the manufacturer’s instructions.

3 Frequently Asked Questions About Wall Shelves and Our Answers

As simple as wall shelves are, they can still raise questions from time to time. Below, we answer three of the most frequently asked:

Can I install wall shelves myself?

Most wall shelves can be installed by yourself – provided you have the right tools and basic DIY skills. However, if they are particularly heavy shelves or made from materials such as stone or marble, it may make sense to seek professional help.

As a rule, you will need the following tools:

• Suitable drill (for concrete walls, for example, a powerful hammer drill)
• Cordless screwdriver or screwdriver
• Mounting hardware (screws and wall plugs matched to the wall)

How much weight can a wall shelf carry?

This cannot be answered in general terms, as the load-bearing capacity of a wall shelf depends on various factors. These include the material used, the thickness of the shelf board, and the type of mounting. Standard wall shelves can usually support up to 25 kilograms on average; anyone wanting to store heavier items should opt for heavy-duty brackets, which depending on the design can handle up to 500 kilograms.

Are there wall shelves specifically for outdoor use or wet rooms?

Yes, there are now wall shelves complete with brackets that are also suitable for outdoor use or wet rooms. In particular, rust-resistant and weather-resistant versions – for example made of aluminum – are suitable for this purpose.
