White wall shelves are a good choice for creating storage space as well as decorating the walls in your home. Many times we get stuck in the rut of hanging prints and photographs on the walls in every room. Wall shelves can break up this monotony and can provide a spot to store books or even to display a few of your favorite things.
White wall shelving is versatile since it goes with many different color palettes. It works especially well in kitchens, bathrooms and kids rooms. A small unit with two or three shelves will make a great spice rack for your kitchen. Many kitchen stores sell sets of individual spice containers so you could create your own customized spice rack – or make one for a gift for a wedding couple or new homeowner. A larger shelving unit would be perfect for storing cookbooks in the kitchen.
White wall shelving is attractive and very functional in the bathroom. A nice three shelf unit could hold essentials such as baskets of soap, along with some decorative items of your choosing. White wall shelves work well in a laundry room as well, to keep all of your laundry supplies neatly organized. White is an excellent choice for bathroom and laundry since it makes these rooms seem fresh and clean, while it blends in with the rest of the room’s colors.
One last place that is popular for white wall shelving is a baby or child’s room, which often has white furniture along with pastels or primary colors. White shelves would even go nicely with most teen room decor, so you could really invest in some great white wall shelves and have them last until your child goes off to college!
So take advantage of the many uses of white wall shelving, since these shelving units are practical and work well with kitchen, bathroom and kids room decor.
