Shelves That Tell Your Story

Shelves That Tell Your Story

Shelving units are contemporary interior design elements that really add to a room's aesthetics and functionality.

Daily offers a range of shelving solutions designed to cater to diverse tastes and needs. Our units balance simplicity and style, seamlessly integrating into any decor style, especially with our wide range of finishes. 

Let’s explore how adding elements of your aesthetic and trialling the positioning of our shelving options can make your space truly yours.

Get The Most Out Of Your Shelving Size

Selecting the right shelving size can profoundly influence your room's look and functionality.

Daily’s shelving units come in various dimensions—small, medium, and large—each fitting into different spatial arrangements. Our collection are all free-standing shelves, which can significantly add to the room's aesthetics and functionality without needing to be attached to a wall.

  • Small Shelves: Small shelves can display smaller items in compact spaces without overwhelming the room. They are perfect for adding functional decor to nooks.
  • Medium Shelves: Medium shelves are the most versatile size. They work well in most rooms, providing ample space for books, plants, and decor. They blend utility and design, making them suitable for living rooms, bedrooms, and offices.
  • Large Shelves: Tall shelves can create an illusion of height in a room and are perfect for extensive collections of books or large items. They can even act as room dividers in open-plan spaces when placed strategically.

By understanding the potential of different shelving units, you can choose options that fit your needs and enhance your environment's visual appeal and functionality.

Unique Shelving Placement Ideas

Effective placement of shelving units can enhance the utility of a space. 

Integrating Shelving in Unconventional Spaces:

  • Hallways: Vertical shelving in hallways can efficiently use space that would otherwise go unused. This is especially important today, given the high cost of housing, which has made apartment living a norm. By installing vertical shelves, you can create a designated space for decorative items, books, or even practical storage for everyday items such as keys and mail.
  • Under Stairs: The area under the stairs is often overlooked and can be easily accessed, especially if you have a loft. However, fitting a set of shelves can transform it into a useful storage space or an attractive display area. This is perfect for storing footwear, books, or collectables.
  • Near Entryways: Shelves near entryways can be both decorative and functional. They can serve as a drop-zone for shoes, keys/wallets or be styled with welcoming decor such as plants and photos.

The appropriate shelving placement can make a significant difference in making the most of a small area or organising essential items in a large room.

Personalising Shelves to Tell Your Story

Adding a personal touch to your shelving units is probably the most exciting part of a room set-up. It is where you can put the most you-specific items up for display. Not only for your guests but for you as well.

Make them YOU:

  • Books: Arrange books not just by size or colour, but consider interspersing them with small art pieces, photo frames, or plants to break the monotony and add visual interest.
  • Plants: Adding greenery to shelves can bring life and colour to your space. Use a variety of plant sizes and pot styles to create a more dynamic display.
  • Artwork: Small paintings, prints, or sculptures can add a personal touch and be a great conversation starter. Arrange these items at eye level for better visibility.

Everyone Loves a Theme:

  • Travel Memorabilia: Create a travel-themed shelf that displays souvenirs like small sculptures, framed tickets, or photographs from various trips. This personalises the space and keeps your cherished memories in sight.
  • Vintage Collections: For a vintage theme, display a collection of antique items such as old cameras, classic novels, or retro ornaments. These items can be grouped to tell a story or reflect a specific era, adding a unique charm to your room.
  • Hobby-Related Items: If you’re an enthusiast of a particular hobby, such as knitting or model building, use your shelves to showcase your work or the tools of your craft. This not only personalises the space but also makes it functional.

Do It With Style:

  • Layering: Place items of varying heights and depths to create a sense of depth. This layering effect makes your displays more appealing and less cluttered.
  • Balance and Harmony: Balance the arrangement by distributing items evenly across the shelves. Mixing textures and colours can also help achieve a harmonious look.
  • Focus Points: Designate a few items as focal points and arrange other items around them to create a cohesive look that draws the eye.
