Wooden shelf in the living room, bedroom and children's room - how to choose?
A wooden shelf is one of the most universal pieces of furniture in the home. In the living room it organizes books and decorations, in the bedroom it can take over some of the storage functions, and in the child's room it helps maintain access to books, toys and boxes. For it to work well, it must be matched to the type of item, size and location.
They are available in Nizio wooden shelves in narrow and wide variants. It's a simple division, but very practical: the narrow model fits better against a shorter wall, while the wide one gives more space for storage and display.
Narrow or wide shelf?
The Nizio narrow shelf is 52 cm wide, 38 cm deep and 193 cm high. It is a good choice for an alcove, a child's room, a bedroom or a smaller living room. The high form allows you to use the wall vertically, and the small width does not take up too much space on the floor.
The wide shelf is 75 cm wide, 38 cm deep and 193 cm high. It will work well where you want to accommodate more books, binders, boxes or decorations. If you want to compare both types, see narrow wooden shelves i wide wooden shelves.
Depth 38 cm - when is it enough?
The 38 cm depth is practical for books, decorations, boxes and many everyday things. It is not as massive as a deep wardrobe, so the shelf may look lighter even with a height of 193 cm. In the living room, it allows you to create a display, and in a child's room, it facilitates access to things without reaching deep.
If you plan to store clothes or large textiles, it will be a better solution wooden wardrobe or a chest of drawers. A shelf works best as an open or semi-open piece of furniture: for things that are to be visible or used frequently.
Adjustable shelves and safety
The data for Nizio shelves includes the possibility of adjusting the height of the shelves. This is important because different spacing will be useful for books, different for binders, and different for boxes. The shelves are also equipped with a wall mounting bracket. With high furniture, this is especially important in a child's room and in places where the floor is not perfectly even.
The models have Blum guides with a gentle and silent closing system in the drawer part. Thanks to this, the lower zone of the shelf can hide small items, and the upper shelves can remain an orderly display.
How to choose a shelf for the interior style?
Natural oak warms up the interior and fits well into calm, bright arrangements. White with natural oak brightens the room and combines well with beds or desks in a similar finish. In a child's room, it is worth avoiding excess colors on large shapes, because books and toys themselves will introduce visual diversity.
If you are arranging a larger space, the shelf can be combined with Nizio wooden chest of drawers. The chest of drawers will hide things that do not need to be visible, and the shelf will show books, decorations and selected boxes.
What if the wall is unusual?
In the case of slopes, recesses and narrow rooms, it is worth asking about the possibility of adjusting the dimensions or finishing to a specific model. Nizio furniture is made to order, so in many cases you can consult a solution for a specific layout. However, do not assume that every modification will be possible.
