The shelf is literally defined as a "horizontal plane, of various materials, usually rectangular in shape, fixed to a wall as a support for objects and furnishings", automatically diminishing its multiple functions. In fact, in addition to proving to be a very valid space-saving alternative, looking at it from a different perspective, it shows itself to be, from a decorative point of view, a potential piece of furniture.
Nowadays, there is a huge range of shelf models on the market, it's up to you to evaluate the solution that best suits your needs.
Let's start with the colors and finishes: strong or soft? Black and white for a minimal style, wood effect for a vintage style or metal effect for a modern style? Colors that stand out from the rest of the furniture or that fit in perfect harmony? Also in this case, the question is certainly subjective, but we feel obliged to give you the advice to choose finishes, which coordinate best with the walls of the rooms or with the style of the house.

We advise you to pay particular attention to the choice of materials, as they determine the style and resistance of the shelf. You can choose between wood, colored wood, glass, metal or a material effect, i.e. laminate or melamine, materials that allow you to reproduce the effect of stone and metals, while also being particularly resistant to scratches and heat.
