Make the most of your home's shelf units with our modular shelving

Increasingly, shelving units are being seen as a crucial part of good interior design. Whether they are used for storage, displaying items or even as a room divider, shelf units have become an important item of home furniture. At Shelving System we offer a freestanding modular shelving system which provides flexible shelving units. Our wooden modular shelving has numerous basic shelf widths and uprights which can be mixed and matched to get the storage solution you want. If you long for an uncluttered organised look for your sitting room or study that will hold all your books, DVDs and CDs, as well as display treasured items and keepsakes, our modular shelf units may be just the thing.

Wooden modular shelving that is built to last

The design of our modular shelving has been around for more than 50 years. Its simple yet effective design is a popular today as when it was developed in 1949. We only use top quality Scandinavian pine from sustainable sources in for our shelving units. Our shelves are 2cm thick and each shelf is designed to carry weights of up to 100kg, making them ideal for heavy items such as books. If fact, our shelving units are designed to be sturdier with heavy loads. This is because of our unique support method. With our shelf units, steel shelf supports fit diagonally into the holes in the uprights and the grooves under each shelf. This belt and braces approach means that the heavier the load on the shelf the more stable the storage unit becomes. Plus, unlike fixed shelving units, our modular shelving means you can add-to or even re-configure your shelf units, giving you flexibility for the future.

Wall-to-wall modular shelving ideas

If you want to make your storage solution into a prominent feature of your room's decor you may want to consider wall-to-wall shelving to create the look of built-in shelving without the expense. This type of modular shelving is a great way to combine storage for books, DVDs and CDs. You can also use wall-to-wall shelf units to surround a wall mounted LCD/plasma TV. To create your own unique wall-to-wall storage with our freestanding modular shelving you will simply need to combine shelf units to cover the chosen wall. If you live in a property that has alcoves around a fireplace, one advantage of our modular shelving is that it can vary in depth. This means you can use deeper shelves in alcoves and more shallow shelves across the central wall to create a sleek wall-to-wall effect.

Use shelf units as a wall divider

Today, the trend in interior design has been towards larger sitting rooms and combined dining and sitting areas. While a large room may be desirable, sometimes you may want to separate areas for specific purposes, such as separating a play or dining area from the main sitting room. This is where shelving units as a room divider can be so useful. Using our freestanding modular shelving to partially divide a room is a great way to provide some storage and delineate area functions. At Shelving Systems our shelving units come in a variety of heights and width, so you can get the dividing shelf units you want. One popular idea for room dividers is to link three difference heights shelving units to create a tier effect. This tiered approach separates the room, yet still provides openness between the two areas. If you are looking for a way to separate areas in a room you should consider using our modular shelving as a room divider.
