Industrial corner floating shelves

17 Stories

This set of two L shaped floating shelves includes a less predictable design with a longer (16”) and shorter (11.2”) side, and you can choose to have them in a more industrial brown finish or a walnut alternative.

Designer Advice:

We think you’re particularly going to love the versatility that this set offers you: you can decide to have two symmetrical shelves or place them along opposite sides to create a more visually interesting corner. Either way, you’ll get to display a larger selection of items than with most corner models.

Contemporary corner floating shelves

Mercury Row®

As well as the popular white and oak finishes, these corner floating shelves are available in creative hues like light mocha and burgundy, which help them stand out even more when combined with their quirky design.

Designer Advice:

The clean lines are ideal in contemporary, minimalist, and Scandinavian interiors. While this item consists of three shelves, you should think outside the box when decorating it: for example, by leaning some books against the wooden panel by the wall, too.

Buying Guide

How much weight can a corner floating shelf hold?

The average weight range corner floating shelves can hold is anywhere between 30 and 75 lbs., but some can hold much more. Not all shelves are built the same and the amount of weight each can hold depends on several factors, including materials, placement, and shelf design.

The dimensions of the shelf play a role in the weight limits of your floating shelf. For example, a deeper floating shelf holds less weight than a narrow shelf. To remedy this, you can always add stronger shelf brackets but the overall design rule is to only go as deep in your shelving as you really need.

Don’t skimp on your floating shelf brackets. Look for floating shelf models with enough welded horizontal rods in proportion to the length of the shelf. Each of these rods carries a certain amount of weight and together equal total bracket capacity.

Another way to prop up your floating shelves is by securing their attachment to the wall with the right number of screws into wall studs. The more you have the higher the weight capacity your shelf can handle.

Determine what you plan to place on your floating shelf and plan accordingly for its weight with strong brackets and a higher number of attachments to the wall.

How do you install a corner floating shelf?

You install a corner floating shelf by first looking for studs, measuring your shelf pieces, and placing brackets as close to studs as possible in the corner where you plan to put your shelf.

Then, place your shelf pieces on top of the brackets that you’ve just nailed in place. Make sure your shelf pieces are as close to the wall as possible before marking the places you’ll need to place screws with a light pencil mark. Take the shelf pieces back off; pre-drill holes for the screws into the shelf pieces. Then, you’ll be able to guide the shelf pieces back onto the wall brackets and screw them flush against the wall.

What room would be best for corner floating shelves?

Where you hang your corner floating shelves all depends on what household items you want to store on them. For example, if you have a lot of cookbooks, then the kitchen would be a perfect place to install the floating shelves. Floating corner shelves could also house spices, jars, and other kitchen essentials.

If you’re tight on bathroom floor space and short on storage, floating corner shelves offer the perfect storage solution. You could even opt for wooden corner floating shelves decorated with jars of shells and other beach-like items to give your bathroom a nautical and coastal feel.

Whichever room you choose, ensure you install them at a convenient height that displays the items well and prevents young children, pets, and even adults from hitting their heads or knocking things from the shelves.
