What is a wall shelf unit and which materials are there
A wall shelf unit is an open shelf or rack that you fix to the wall. It is as functional as it is decorative: you store things on it and put beautiful objects on show at the same time. The materials determine the mood. Mango and reclaimed teak give a warm, natural look, oak is more timeless, and metal with wooden shelves suits a sleeker or industrial interior. Choose a material that ties in with your interior style.
Depth and what you use it for
The right depth depends on what you want to put on it. For books, count on 25 to 30 cm; for decoration, 15 to 20 cm is usually enough; and for plants, allow 25 to 35 cm. In the hallway a shallower shelf also works well as a fixed spot for keys and post. Generally speaking, wall shelf units are between 15 and 30 cm deep.
Fixing and load capacity
How much a wall shelf unit can carry depends mainly on the fixings and the type of wall. On a plasterboard wall with cavity fixings, stay safely around 10 kg per unit; on a concrete wall you can go towards 25 kg. If you want to put books on it, deliberately choose a sturdy fixing, because books add up in weight quickly. If in doubt, loading it more lightly is always the wiser option.
At what height do you hang a wall shelf unit
The height depends on the function. For decoration you would usually hang a unit at 150 to 180 cm, so it comes into its own at eye level. For books you reach for regularly, 100 to 150 cm is more convenient because you can get to them easily. If you combine several units, varying the heights gives a lively wall.

What else goes well with a wall shelf unit
A wall shelf unit works nicely alongside other wall decor and small furniture.

That way you build a complete, polished wall.
