wall-hung & modular

Flexible shelving systems can be used to create a custom configuration to suit your needs, and you can add or subtract elements over time. Many modular systems, including the classic String System (above), rely on wall-mounted vertical frames from which shelves or cupboards can be hung. IKEA’s Svalnäs system (right) is a similar style, rendered in bamboo. Smaller wall shelves are an excellent solution for entries or small homes where floorspace is limited. Don’t overload your shelves; instead, take the opportunity to mix in ceramics, small artworks and personal treasures.
