Floating Glass Shelves

Whether you're in home staging or interior redesign, or whether you're a homeowner just looking for unique ways to decorate your home, here is a product worthy of your attention. The floating glass shelves, which can hold a good deal of weight, appear to be floating on the wall. They will look especially stunning in a contemporary setting, but in a staged home, they can have multiple usages. When staging a home, you want really clean, simple lines so that the room never looks cluttered. So you can still display a few items together, yet keep the whole look simple and elegant.

What a great and simple way to display family photographs (see below right photo) or special small collectibles like figurines. Easy to install, these floating glass shelves can be used almost anywhere: straight walls, corners, you name it. Shelving has always been a headache as there just seems to be so little to choose from, and what you find is usually in a country style, not suitable for many settings. Even though the frames of the photographs are traditional, the contemporary glass still looks great. Since the glass shelving is simple in design and presentation, you really don't notice the shelves, just the treasures on them.

Use them in your shower (see upper right photo) or bathroom area to store items you need on a regular basis. Use the floating glass shelves in your kitchen for spices or other items you need nearby when cooking. Create large wall groupings with the glass shelving - the uses are almost endless.
