1. Farmhouse Style Shelves
These diy farmhouse shelves, reminiscent of Joanna Gaines, are simple to put up. The black brackets lend a superb modern farmhouse flair.

Creating floating shelves solved our need for book storage in my husband’s office. While several construction methods exist, we favored this approach utilizing long boards and dowels.
3.Hanging Floating Shelves with Turnbuckle Hardware
The Turnbuckle hardware transformed these floating shelves in my craft room into a playful, slightly industrial storage solution for my craft supplies.
4. Wall Shelf with Wooden Pegs for Shelves
A wall shelf with pegs perfectly complemented our Boho bedroom refresh, adding visual appeal to an otherwise plain wall!
5. DIY Rustic Wall Shelf ideal for compact areas
This charming wall shelf with hooks suits numerous settings. It works wonderfully as kitchen wall shelves, laundry room shelves (for hanging cleaning rags), or entryway shelves (for keys and scarves!). Furthermore, using scrap lumber keeps the cost down!
6. Floating Bedside Table
My husband completed these floating beside tables in just a few hours, and two units only cost $10! They are useful wall-mounted bedside tables, making our small room feel larger. The upper shelf is ideal for holding books, coffee cups, and other small items.
7. Simple wall shelf with basic brackets
The wall shelf in our laundry room is extremely straightforward. It consists only of a board supported by 2 affordable plastic brackets! It is helpful for laundry supplies and allows me to hang a short curtain, cleverly concealing the unsightly plumbing!
8. Semi-homemade Kitchen Wall Shelves
These were Ikea Wall Shelves (I could not locate our precise color online today) and were adjusted (cut to fit) inside our small townhouse kitchen. They function as excellent kitchen wall shelves, perfect for setting up a coffee station.
