3 ways to use shelves at home

3 modi per utilizzare gli scaffali in casa
Shelves , whether tall and narrow or low and wide , are an essential element for convenience: in fact, they constitute a useful space saver even in the narrowest spaces, thanks to their reduced depth.

Here's how to furnish a modern living room using shelves :

1. To organize

There's no better way to organize boxes, objects, textiles, and books. Depending on the room and its use, a shelf can solve many problems.
For example, a tall shelf can be perfect for storing schoolbooks in your bedroom. It's also practical and functional as a bathroom cabinet for storing linens or frequently used accessories. It can also be used in the kitchen , next to your island, for storing mugs and everything you need for breakfast. In the hallway or walk-in closet, the shelf can be useful for shoes, hats, and accessories.

The extra idea?
You can also use a shelf as a shoe rack by placing boxes with visible labels or printing photos in Polaroid format!

2. To have everything at your fingertips

The shelf lets you keep everything in plain sight and easily find what you need. You won't have to go crazy searching for something.
But remember to keep things organized. To do this, use storage boxes to store everything inside more freely. The effect will be neat at first glance and consistent in color and style if you use the same storage boxes.

3. To furnish with style

Who doesn't like to show off a little? A shelf is the perfect way to store even the most beautiful objects. Imagine it in the entryway : you can place a coin tray, your favorite bag, your must-haves. You can also use the shelf as a bookcase, combining books with vases, candles, and other home decor.

But...are there also downsides to shelves?

One of the main challenges (and one that often causes difficulty) is figuring out which items to place on the shelves. But don't worry! If you follow a few simple styling tips, you can decorate your shelves flawlessly.

Here are our tips for setting up a shelf with style:

- Play with different heights (don't use objects of the same height, but vary them to create movement).
- Use a mix of vertical and horizontal objects to give a sense of overall movement, and keep the composition from appearing flat.
- Create small groups of objects (preferably 3 clustered together) even of different types (a vase, a book, a candle for example).
Make use of the shelves and furnish your living room with style.

Our proposal?
It's called the Levante Shelf Collection.
