Whether you need additional storage space, want to visually separate a room or are simply looking for a stylish highlight for your interior design, there is a suitable shelf for every purpose. From simple, space-saving models for small niches to expandable shelving systems, our range covers every conceivable application. To help you make your selection, we would like to give you a little insight into the world of shelving.
What types of shelving are available?
First of all, it is important to know what types of shelving are available.
Bookshelves
Bookshelves or decorative shelves are usually designed to bear a heavy weight per shelf. They are usually only deep enough to allow books to be stored comfortably without protruding. This means that even large bookshelves do not appear overwhelming, but blend easily into the interior design. Due to the high load, it is important that the shelf is stable against the wall and cannot tip over. If there are small children in the household, we recommend securing the bookshelf to the wall to prevent it from falling over accidentally. In terms of design, they are often conceived as open shelves to display the books visibly and are not only used for storage, but also as decorative elements and eye-catchers in a room.
Free-standing shelves
Unlike other shelves, free-standing shelves are not attached to the wall, but can be placed and rearranged flexibly. However, a tilt protection device is still recommended. They are available in a wide variety of sizes and designs. Free-standing shelves offer plenty of storage space, usually combining closed storage space with open shelving. This gives you plenty of room for various items and allows you to display books, plants or other objects in a decorative way.
Room divers
Just like free-standing shelving units, room dividers can be placed flexibly to visually divide the room. If you opt for a room divider without a back panel, the room will be visually divided but will not appear smaller. This means that the room divider shelves can be used from both sides. A model with a back panel, on the other hand, creates more privacy, which is particularly advantageous in a one-room flat or a living room-study combination.
General-purpose shelving
As the name suggests, general-purpose shelving is versatile and characterised by its adaptability. They usually have a simple and functional design, making them easy to combine and versatile in use. Although general-purpose shelving is not heavy-duty shelving, it is more sturdy, enabling it to withstand higher loads, such as a room divider shelf.
Wall shelves
Wall shelves convey a sense of visual lightness. Floating shelves and wall boards in particular have a very modern look and create a tidy, airy atmosphere. As they do not take up any floor space, wall shelves are particularly useful in small rooms or hallways. This also makes the best possible use of vertical space. There are different types of shelves depending on the purpose for which you use a wall shelf. The most common models are wall boards, hanging shelves and wall brackets. Things can be stored particularly elegantly in a narrow wall bracket. Although the load capacity is significantly lower than that of an all-purpose shelf, this stylish and practical piece of furniture takes up almost no space.
Office shelving
Like general-purpose shelving, office shelving is usually very robust and stable, as it is used continuously for many years and often has to carry many heavy files, folders or other office supplies. Some shelving systems are modular in design. This allows different office shelves to be combined with each other to provide sufficient storage space in the office. The shelves can often be adjusted in height. In terms of design, office shelves are usually rather simple and modern, making them timeless and suitable for almost any office interior.
Shoe racks
The main purpose of a shoe rack is to store shoes and keep the entrance area tidy. The designs are therefore usually designed to save space and make shoes easily visible and accessible. There are both open and closed shoe racks. An open model offers good ventilation. Closed shoe cabinets provide a tidy appearance and protect shoes from dust. This is particularly useful for storing unused pairs of shoes depending on the season. Shoe racks are designed to save space and are therefore often either low and wide or tall and narrow in order to make the best possible use of limited space.
Material & Design
When it comes to choosing a shelf, both material and design play an important role. The material not only has visual effects, but also has a direct impact on the shelf's load capacity, weight and durability. The following materials are used for shelves:
- Wood is durable, robust and conveys a warm aesthetic. This natural material suits many interior design styles and can appear solid or delicate, depending on the construction. It is important to note that wood should not be exposed to moisture or pests, as solid wood is more susceptible to these than other materials.
- Metal, especially steel and aluminium, is extremely robust, offers a very high load-bearing capacity and is very resistant. It is very simple, minimalist and gives the room an industrial flair. Metal shelves are usually designed as slim, almost floating wall shelves or as robust heavy-duty shelves. The surface is often painted or powder-coated to offer a range of design options.
- Plastic is very easy to care for, resistant to moisture and often less expensive than other materials. Plastic shelves are usually very functional and available in many colours. This makes them suitable for both home and office use. Moisture cannot damage this robust material, which is why it is also suitable for basements or storage rooms. However, its load-bearing capacity is lower than that of other materials.
Areas of application: Which shelf fits where?
Depending on where you want to put the shelving and what you want to use it for, there are different requirements. Whether it's for storing books, dividing rooms or as a decorative eye-catcher in the living room, every room has different needs.
Office: Functionality is key here. Classic office shelving and modular systems are most commonly found in this setting. These can be designed to be particularly flexible and can be adapted to many different needs. Shelving in the office also offers plenty of space for files and other office supplies. The style is usually modern and simple, allowing it to blend timelessly into the office décor. Unusual designs are rarely found here.
Living room: Bookshelves and large wall units are ideal for filling empty walls and providing plenty of storage space. Floating wall shelves are a good way to make small rooms appear larger and more open. This gives you additional storage space without cluttering up the floor space. Room divider shelves are particularly suitable for larger rooms, as they divide large living areas visually without blocking the light.
Bedroom: In addition to a large wardrobe or chest of drawers, open shelves are often found in bedrooms to showcase particularly beautiful items such as a special handbag or jewellery.
Hallway & entrance area: In these open and often smaller areas, narrow, tall shelves are the best choice for optimal use of vertical space, or low, narrow but wide shelves as shoe cabinets or similar. This allows you to store your belongings in a practical and attractive way.
