What to Look for When Buying Modern Room Décor?

COVID has affected various industries, and our homes are no exception. It is not only a place for resting and being comfortable anymore, but also a work space for many. Adding the above-mentioned décor floating shelves to your space will spruce it up and make it more livable.

However, if you wish to redo your entire home, here is a buying guide for modern shelves that helps you make the right decision.

●     Material

Always go for high-quality materials while choosing shelves. We don’t change our décor items often, so you need to look for something sturdy and will last you long.

Plus, if you are looking for a shelf for your washroom, make sure to choose one that is damp proof.

●     Color

This is one of the most overlooked aspects however it can make or break your overall interior. Consider whether you want the shelves to stand out or simply look sleek and noticeable.

What is the color scheme of your room, and which colored shelves will look best against a particular wall?

Generally, neutral colors and metallics are the best options to go for if you are clueless about which color to choose. If you have neutral walls, striking colors such as teal, bright yellow, and fuchsia also look fabulous.

●     Dimensions

Always consider the place you wish to allocate to the shelves.

Is there anything else on the wall? What is the size of the wall? How much space do you have on the walls?

After that, carefully look at the dimensions of the product before making a final purchase. Make sure that the chosen piece of frame fits your wall perfectly. The goal is to achieve harmony.

●     Purpose

You need to ask yourself this one question before buying a shelf. What is the purpose of buying a product? Do you need it for extra storage or simply to enhance the overall look of your walls?

For example, the levitating light bulb will be an amazing wall décor, while LYNNC 3 in 1 Rustic Floating Shelve will best fit your storage needs. Hence, asking this question is a sure short way to make the right purchase.

●     Price

Last but not least is the price point. Always keep your budget in mind before looking at the options. You can find a 10 dollar product as well as a 10000 dollar product.

Narrowing down your prices will narrow down your options. It might seem like a bummer but will eventually end up making the shopping process easier.

Some Additional Tips

Here are some additional tips that will make your home look stunning at all times:

• High Impact Theme - Create a high-impact theme with textures, colors, and unique items that will make your home stand out. Some examples of high impact options include a floating moon shelf, a bright colored wall as well as a unique décor piece.
• Staircase Stack Hack - Stacking the shelves under the stairs is an amazing way to store things efficiently as well as creating something unique.
• Stack Stack Away - Stacking to look cool is not only limited to bracelets. It can work wonders for your shelves as well. Stack up your books, mini décor items, as well as some statement pieces.
• Overlaying Effect - This idea will blow your mind; try an artwork overlay over your shelves. It will create a dramatic impact.
• The Height Visual - Displaying shelves in varying heights all over the wall creates an element of interest. I would recommend going for shelves that come as a set and can be stacked in multiple ways.
• Do It Yourself - DIY something on your own. You don’t always have to go and purchase a new shelf. An old staircase can be turned into a cool looking bookshelf with a few spray paints.
• A High Impact Color -Creating an impact with a striking color will work wonders. Simply go for a catchy color such as teal, bright yellow and create stunning visuals.
• Floating Shelves for the Win - Accent floating shelves on an empty wall will not only help you store extra books as well as create a stunning visual.
• If you are a minimalist at heart, then going for a macramé floating shelf is your best friend. You can simply use it as décor without piling on stuff on the shelves.
• Create ease of access with floating shelves stacked one above the other on the wall behind your reading nook.
