Shelf Bracket DIYS

It's the little things that make a house a home. While we focus on making your kitchens more accessible, we've been doing our research and we've discovered some amazing ways that you could use our products in other rooms of your home to make it more functional! I never knew that there were so many uses for a simple shelf bracket.

If you own a bike, you know how hard it can be to store it in a way that doesn't add to the clutter in your home. We were amazed by this shelf bracket hack! Just attach two brackets to your wall and you have yourself a bike rack! We would recommend using our gallows shelf bracket for a clean, minimalistic look. 

How beautiful is this hanging wardrobe? It might look difficult to assemble, but all you need is some shelf brackets, a pole and some rope! It makes the perfect place to hang your capsule wardrobe, and saves valuable floor space for those of you who live in small homes. Our lattice shelf bracket has plenty of holes to knot the rope through, and is simple yet beautiful, meaning that they would be perfect for making a hanging wardrobe with!

A decorated mantlepiece is an amazing way to add character to your home. Family photographs, candles and flowers are some of our favourite things to decorate a mantlepiece with, but we never realised how easy it could be to build one. All you need is two shelf brackets, flipped so that their shorter side is facing upwards, and a sturdy piece of wood. We suggest our Victorian shelf bracket for this, as it's decorative without being over-the-top.

Our final DIY today is also one of our favourites. It's simple but effective! Just take two decorative shelf brackets and attach them to the corners of your doorways - or even windows! It adds a bit of architectural interest and is so easy and cheap to do. Why not look at our traditional shelf brackets for this simple DIY? 

It's worth noting that all of our shelf brackets can be painted to match your house, so don't let their colour put you off attempting any of these DIYs! Please send us pictures of the clever ways that you have used our shelf brackets; we would love to see them!
