Choosing a rack is usually considered a piece of cake.But in fact, there are so many types of them that it’s time to grab your head! Our post will help you figure it out and put everything on the shelves. A correctly chosen rack is, consider, half the battle in the decor of the room. It takes up a lot of space, and the entire interior will depend on its heaviness or “weightlessness”. Therefore, the issue must be approached sensibly.
Individual approach - for creative individuals
A modular rack is a kind of constructor foradults: you can choose the length of the shelves, the type and height of the panels, the number and size of the hanging drawers… But there is a downside to this pleasantness: a fairly high cost and a long waiting period for the order. Because everything custom is expensive. Modular shelving is usually attached to the wall. But sometimes there are other designs. Now factories produce modular shelving in a variety of shapes and colors, but buyers most often order white or brown shelving.
Wall-mounted, island or cantilever?
Wall-mounted shelving is familiar to everyone from childhood.Remember open bookcases? This is it: a back panel and several shelves. The structure is not screwed to the wall, it is held in place by the weight of the books. But island shelving is a fairly new phenomenon in our lives. The shelving can be used as a zoning element and moved back and forth as needed (at least that's what the manufacturers say, although, of course, if the shelving is loaded to the top with vases, books, baskets and magazines, you won't want to move it even during cosmetic repairs). Most often, such shelving is recommended for use to separate the kitchen from the living room and the living room from the bedroom.
There are also cantilever racks.Our editor-in-chief has one of these at home. These shelves have a colossal capacity, so she was able to fit books, magazines, CDs, vases, and other little things that all girls like so much – no matter how good an education they got or what career they made. Oh, we’re not talking about that. In general, console shelves were initially used only for storage in warehouses. But their convenience and low cost played a role, and now similar models (only more painted and more expensive) are available from many cabinet furniture manufacturers. Such as in the photo below are produced, for example, by the Italian factory Porada. IKEA also has this type of shelves, but they are more suitable for a garage.
