Floating shelves are wall-mounted shelves that appear to "float" without visible brackets or supports. They are designed to create a clean, modern look in any room, making them popular for displaying decorative items, books, or plants. These shelves come in various materials, such as wood, metal, or glass, and can be installed at different heights to suit individual preferences. Installation typically involves securing a bracket or cleat to the wall, which supports the shelf. Floating shelves are versatile and can be used in various spaces, including living rooms, kitchens, and bathrooms. They are an excellent way to maximize storage while maintaining an uncluttered appearance.
