Are you thinking about buying your first floating shelf kit? Or maybe you've bought one before, and it didn't go as well as you hoped? Installing floating shelves can be challenging but incredibly rewarding. With the proper guidance and tools, you can turn a blank wall into a stunning showcase for your favorite books, plants, or decorative pieces. Let's dive into how you can master your first floating shelf kit with confidence.

Don't Settle for Anything Less than a Custom Wood Shelf

Don't settle for pre-made composite shelves when you can have a custom, real wood shelf. Composite shelves might be cheap and readily available, but they lack the character and durability of wood. A custom wood shelf brings a subtle hint of nature indoors and offers the unique beauty that only real wood can provide. The grain patterns, natural knots, and color variations make each piece one of a kind. When you choose custom, you're investing in a quality product that will stand the test of time and add timeless appeal to your home.

Plus, real wood shelves are sturdier and can handle more weight than their composite counterparts. This means you can confidently display heavier items without worrying about the shelf sagging or breaking. And let's be honest, nothing beats the warm, rich look of a custom wood shelf that perfectly complements your home decor. Whether you prefer the rustic charm of reclaimed wood or the sleek finish of walnut or oak, there's a type of wood and a style of shelf that will fit seamlessly into your space.

You Can Do This

Our floating shelf kits have step-by-step instructions you can follow. If you're a visual learner, our instructions even include a video link that allows you to watch someone from our team install a shelf kit step by step! No matter your learning style, you’ll have all the resources needed to succeed—from unpacking the kit to securing the shelf on the wall.

The key to a successful and seamless installation is preparation. Before you begin, gather all the necessary tools, including a level, drill, screws, and anchors. Take your time measuring and marking the placement of the shelf accurately. This will ensure that your shelf is level and secure.
