5 trendy shelves you can make yourself

Shelves and shelves not only offer us a practical storage space, they are also an important decorative element that can give personality and character to any space in our home, especially if they are made by ourselves, personalized, to taste.

So, if you want to add one, follow me as I have prepared 5 models of fashion shelves that you can make with your own hands. I assure you that you will be able to make them yourself with ease. You only need a few easy-to-find materials and of course the right tool.

A good tool is essential for every DIY project. If you are in doubt about what kind of tool you need, what each one is for and which one is best for each situation, you have specific guides like the ones on the page specialized in Mundoherramienta.net tools. All the detailed and necessary information so that you can get the necessary tool for any project you want to do.

We will see these fashion shelves that you can make yourself and I will tell you the details of each one. Here we go.

Pipe racks

Industrial type shelves made with pipes are in fashion and fortunately they are simple to manufacture, since we only need wood cut to size and metal pieces that we only have to buy and glue together, creating the structure we want.

Also this type of pipes are not only available in the black industrial type that we see above these lines, but also in other finishes like copper or galvanized if you are looking for another design. And if you don't like any of them, you can always paint them in your favorite color or spray paint them.

To fix them to the wall we only need classic dowels and screws and we use specially prepared brackets to fix the pipes to the wall. It is really simple to make and very decorative.

Let's see another DIY shelf model that you can make yourself.

Leather and wood shelves

In addition to industrial pipes, another of the materials that is quite fashionable for creating shelves and racks is leather. And not just for shelves, but for hanging mirrors, decorative elements and even as cabinet and drawer door handles.

This shelf is very simple to make. We only need leather strips that we can buy ready-made and wooden shelves cut to the desired size.

Then we need to attach the leather to the wall and place the wooden shelf so that it holds the leather strap.

Such a shelf for storing and organizing plants looks great.

Let's look at another type of DIY shelves.

Geometric shelves

This type of shelves is perhaps the most elaborate to make since it is necessary to cut pieces of wood and then assemble them to create the geometric shape that we have chosen and both the design, the measurement and the cut must be precise so that everything fits perfectly.

But with the right tools, as I said at the beginning, we can do it without any problems. Naturally, we should also protect ourselves properly with the appropriate personal protective equipment. If in doubt, take a look at the Mundoherramienta.net protection guides to carry out your DIY projects in complete safety.

Gloves, helmets, safety glasses and other items cannot be missing from your “toolbox” when you will be using cutting tools, among others, to carry out any DIY project.

These types of shelves or racks are one of the most decorative as their shape is like a small or large piece of DIY art that decorates the wall.

As we have seen in the above paragraphs, we can create one large one or several small ones to design a decorative mosaic on the wall.

In addition, depending on the type of wood, if we paint it in any color, geometric design and size, we can have the shelf we want, completely tailored to our home and style.

There are more models, let's see one more:

Ladder shelf

Like the others, it is one of the most popular shelf designs of the moment. It goes on the floor and not on the wall, so it has more presence and is more decorative.

To accomplish this DIY craft, we only need a ladder with two wooden accesses and some shelves cut to size.

Since the staircase is also made of wood, we can easily screw shelves or racks made of wood onto it using special lag screws for wood that we can find in any hardware store.

Like the rest we have seen and will see, the options that such racks allow us are practically limitless.

We can design and manufacture a completely customized rack depending on the size of the staircase, how many steps it has, the finish, and how we install the shelves and racks.

Larger, smaller, symmetrical, asymmetrical, etc. The options are practically limitless. If you need inspiration, if you search the internet you will see dozens of these types of shelving models to inspire you.

Let's continue with another model.

Rustic checkered industrial shelving

This is without a doubt the simplest DIY shelving design you can make and it is also very stylish.

In this DIY project, we practically don't need to do anything other than purchase the materials, as we can buy the type of frame we want and the wood that is pre-cut or pre-sawn.

Although if you want a more authentic look, you better get wooden shelves cut and if possible they are not treated so that the natural finish of the wood gives it that touch of authenticity and originality that this type of shelves have.

You can always protect it with a colorless, matt varnish that preserves the natural finish of the wood, but preserves it so that it withstands the passage of time without any problems.

And I say matte because if you polish the wood to a gloss it is no longer original, but I leave that to your choice. It's like you want to paint them a color!

To assemble this shelf, it couldn't be easier than the classic socket system by fixing the bracket to the wall and then placing the wooden shelves on top.

This type of shelf has two advantages over the others: it is the easiest to make and install and thanks to its wide range of square designs, more classic, more rustic, more minimalist, etc. we can easily give the shelf one style or another.

What bookshelf will you design? I read your comments. And if you think this article might interest a friend or family member, share it. Thanks!
