Arplis - News: You’ve painted the walls the perfect hue, picked out the coziest crib, and stocked up on all the necessities—now what? Of course, you want your baby room to look great, but it should be well-organized and functional, too

Baby stuff can quickly accumulate in a nursery and, without organization in place (that’s easy to maintain), it can lead to chaos and clutter. Whether you’re looking for savvy storage solutions for baby books and blankets, clever hacks for organizing clothes, or ideas for maximizing a small space, you’ll find plenty of tips and inspiration in this list of 40 baby room organization ideas. 1. Go Vertical Walls can be used for so much more than displaying room decor. Tall bookcases offer floor to ceiling organization space. Floating shelves add storage space above dressers and changing tables. So, when looking for more space to stash baby stuff when not in use, look up! Besides the extra space, vertical storage also keeps things safely out of reach of curious toddlers. Plus, you can display momentos like your baby shower invitations and birth announcements. 2. Practical Placement A rocking chair close to the crib means it’s quicker to move a sleeping baby to bed, and a shelf near the changing table makes it easy to grab supplies without stepping away from a squirming baby. Practical placement of furniture, shelves, seating, and storage areas means your nursery itself is organized, not just the items inside drawers and cabinets. It’s also important to consider safety, to anchor furniture, baby-proofing outlets, and soften sharp edges—these are all important steps to take before introducing a new baby to their new room. 3. Keep Drawers In Order Because baby clothes and accessories are so small, it’s easy for them to become a jumbled mess inside drawers. Use drawer organizers or small bins to keep tiny clothes separated by type. Separate bins for socks, onesies, bottoms, and booties will make it easier to find what you’re looking for when you need it. Only keep clothes that currently fit and are seasonally appropriate in drawers, using closet shelves and storage bins to keep other clothes organized and out of the way. 4. Use A Bookcase Bookcases or other tall shelving units help make room organization easy—and that goes for a nursery or baby’s room, too. While your baby is an infant, use shelves to keep clothes, accessories, and gear organized. As the baby grows, lower shelves can hold books and toys while higher shelves can keep other items safely out of reach. Stylish storage cubes and decorative boxes or baskets will keep things organized while looking clutter-free. Or, replace one of the shelves with a tension rod to add extra space for hanging clothes. 5. Mesh Laundry Bags Instead of tossing all of the baby’s dirty laundry into a large hamper, hang a couple of mesh laundry bags on wall hooks or on the back of the door. Use bags for small, easy to lose items like itty bitty socks and tiny tights or items with Velcro, like bibs or swaddles that can easily catch and pull threads other clothes and blankets. On laundry day, just toss the entire mesh bag into the washer and dryer. No more missing socks or damaged delicates! 6. Unconventional Storage Don’t be afraid to use unconventional containers to stash supplies in your baby’s room. Desk organizers are perfect for keeping hair brushes, nail clippers, and lotions in order. And, magazine boxes make it easy to keep receiving blankets or swaddles organized on a shelf. Plenty of everyday household items can easily be transformed into effective organization solutions in a baby’s room. 7. Crib Organizers Keep blankets, pacifiers, and comfort items within reach of where they’re needed most using a crib organizer. The soft, quilted fabric organizers attach to the front or side of the baby’s crib with safe fabric loops. Designed with multiple storage pockets and pouches, they’re perfect for keeping items close at hand and easy to grab while putting the little one to bed. 8. Classic Cubbies Square storage shelves, or cubbies, are perfect for organizing a baby’s room. A row of cubbies can be hung on a wall for elevated storage, stood vertically for storage in smaller rooms or narrow spaces, and placed horizontally on the floor as a seating bench with built-in storage. Use soft storage cubes to keep items stashed out of sight. Because cubbies are so versatile, they’ll be perfect for your toddler room, too—you won’t have to redo the space too much as your little one grows. 9. Double Up Baby clothes are generally quite small. Use that to your organizational advantage! Hang at least two (or three) rods, one above the other, in the closet and double (or triple) the amount of clothes you can hang. Use child-sized hangers for baby clothes and use adult-sized pant hangers to save space storing blankets and towels. 10. Not Just For Shoes They may be called shoe organizers, but the multi-pocket organizers are one of the most versatile of all home organization hacks. In addition to storing shoes, the pockets are perfectly sized for organizing onesies, bibs, diapers, creams, and more. Hang one in the closet, on a wall or on the back of a door for easy access to the items you use most. 11. Boxes, Baskets, And Bins—Oh My! When it comes to organization, containers are an absolute necessity. Stylish theme-coordinated bins are great for keeping baby belongings organized on shelves. Soft, round oversized baskets are perfect for storing blankets or stuffed animals at floor level. And, stackable clear plastic boxes will keep closets organized with ease. And, if organization is the goal, forego the giant toy box. Although they make cleanup a breeze, toys inside are often hard to find and become lost or forgotten. 12. Under-Crib Storage Beneath the baby’s crib you’ll find ample space for stashing and stowing items used less often, especially in smaller baby rooms where storage space is at a premium. Use stylish drawers designed to fit beneath a bed. Or, add a crib skirt to hide less attractive storage solutions out of sight. Remember, only keep and store items that are either meaningful or usable. Organization involves much more than just neat and orderly storage. 13. Double-Duty Furniture New parents are always surprised to discover just how much stuff babies need. From bottles and blankets to binkies and bibs, babies require a lot of accouterments, making organization and extra storage space an absolute must. Whenever possible, use furniture that serves double-duty as storage space, too. Use a waist-high dresser in place of a changing table and store changing supplies in the top drawer. Or, replace a footstool with a storage ottoman for storing extra bedding. 14. DIY Accessory Organizer Babies tend to amass a lot of accessories. From bibs to bows and headbands to hats, if accessories aren’t adequately organized, they can quickly create clutter and chaos. In just a few minutes, with just a few supplies, you can easily create a clever DIY organization board for keeping accessories in order. Simply hot-glue clothespins to a narrow board and hang on a wall. Accessories will be easy to grab and go as needed. 15. Rolling Diaper Station Another nursery organization idea to take for a spin, a rolling cart diaper station will make diaper duty easier and more efficient. Keep diaper changing supplies, like diapers, wipes, powder, and a changing pad on a rolling cart in the baby’s room. Not only are industrial style rolling carts trendy, but they’re also available in a wide variety of colors to fit seamlessly into any baby room decor. As an added bonus, your rolling diaper station can easily be rolled into another room if necessary. 16. Storage Steps Display baby blankets, throws, and towels on the rungs of a wooden blanket ladder leaned against a nursery room wall. Not only will the baby’s textiles be organized and easy to reach, but this organization and storage solution will also add a stylish and trendy touch to any baby room. Just be sure to move the ladder to another room before the baby begins to crawl and climb. 17. Wine Rack Blanket Keeper Most people wouldn’t consider a wine rack typical decor for a baby’s room, but the size and shape are actually perfect for organizing an assortment of baby blankets. A wall-mounted rack hung near the crib makes it easy to grab a clean blanket as needed. Or a tabletop wine rack can be used to keep blankets organized and displayed neatly on a shelf or side table. W 18. Functional Furniture When furnishing a nursery, look for functional furniture pieces that either double as storage space or expand and grow with your baby. A window seat with storage underneath or a dresser that doubles as a changing table can add tons of much-needed storage to a baby room. Even if you just pick a dresser to display memorable items such as frames and mugs, you’ll have a functional piece that will grow with your little one. 19. Design Matters As silly as it may sound, the design decisions you incorporate into your baby’s room can help to keep the space more organized. A cohesive design with coordinating textures, colors, and decorative touches will instantly make a room look cleaner and less cluttered. A monochromatic color scheme can make a small space feel roomier. And, design elements like built-in storage space and functional furniture ensure everything has a place. 20. The Hook Up Make use of inexpensive and decorative hooks placed thoughtfully around the baby room. A decorative hook on the back of the door will be perfect for hanging hooded towels to dry after a bath. A couple of removable hooks adhered to the side of a changing table create a great spot to hang receiving blankets or swaddles until they’re ready to be used. And, wall hooks can be used to hang baby blankets, diaper bags, or laundry bags. 21. Storage Ottoman A simple storage ottoman could easily become one of the most versatile and convenient pieces of furniture in your entire nursery. In front of a rocker, it becomes a comfortable footstool for late-night feedings. By a tall bookshelf, it can work as a handy stool for reaching high-up items. And, by the crib, it’s a place to sit and sing the baby to sleep—all while doubling as hidden storage space for items like extra bedding or a backup diaper supply. 22. Small Closet Ideas Because most closets start out with only a single shelf and rod, it’s easy to maximize closet space by adding additional shelving and clothing rods wherever space is available. A small dresser or bookshelf can add lots of extra storage in a small space. Add closet organizers like baskets, bins, and pockets that hang from the rod to create additional storage space. And, put doors to use with over-the-door organizers that add eons of extra space in an often underutilized area. 23. Layer Bedding One of the most helpful mom hacks we’ve learned is to layer crib bedding. When making a baby’s bed, put down a waterproof mattress pad followed by a fitted top sheet. Then, add another waterproof mattress pad and another top sheet. Not only does this solve the problem of where to store clean bedding, if the baby has an accident or spill in the middle of the night, just peel away the top layer to reveal clean, dry bedding underneath. 24. Baby Books As Art Use picture ledges to display and store adorable baby books on nursery walls. In addition to doubling as age-appropriate artwork in your baby’s bedroom, it’ll be easier to find the book you’re looking for. And, displaying books as art will free up shelf space for storing other items in baskets and bins. As an added bonus, once they’re old enough, kids will love having their favorite books on display, so it’s easy to pick or point to the one they want. 25. Soft Basket Soft, decorative baskets are an adorable blanket, pillow, and stuffed animal storage solutions in a baby’s room. Roll blankets instead of folding them, then stack standing side-by-side inside a basket. The array of colorful blankets looks charming in the nursery and blankets are easy to grab when needed. Plus, the soft sides make it safe for the baby to crawl around. 26. Roll ‘Em Up Because baby clothes are so small, simply folding tiny t-shirts and onesies and stacking them in a drawer can make it difficult to find the one you’re looking for and can quickly lead to a jumbled mess. Instead of stacking folded clothes, roll each article of clothing and insert it into the slots of a sock organizer or ornament box inside the dresser drawer. Not only does this nursery organization hack save tons of space, but you can also easily see everything in the drawer without digging through piles or making a mess. 27. Wall Baskets You already know baskets are great for storing things on shelves or keeping this organized inside drawers. But, baskets hung on the wall can add oodles of storage space in a baby room, too. Hang small baskets on the wall above your changing table to stash diaper-changing essentials. Turn wire baskets on their side and mount them directly to the wall to create cute cubbies for stacking anything from books to blankets. 28. Label It Keeping all of the baby’s things separated and put away is a great start to getting organized, but to be truly functional, you’ll need to know where things are and where they belong. Add decorative hang tags to baskets, label bins and boxes with stickers, or use a label maker to print off tiny labels for inside drawers and on smaller containers. 29. Glass Jars Large lidded glass jars are an excellent way to store smaller items on a shelf. Pacifiers, hair bows, teething toys, rattles, or even small tubes of lotions and creams can all be stowed in glass jars. Not only will large glass jars look lovely lining a shelf, but the clear glass also makes it easy to see what’s stashed inside. 30. Use Your Doors Storage space is very often at a premium in nurseries and small baby rooms, making it important to use any available space for organizing. The back of a bedroom door is the perfect place to stash small items for easy access that’s out of the way and uncluttered. An over-the-door organizer is great for stocking baby shoes, accessories, and a backup supply of lotions and creams. Over-the-door hooks can be used to hang hooded towels, baby blankets, or outerwear for grab-and-go convenience. 31. Changing Station It’s nobody’s favorite chore, but diaper duty can be easier—and over with faster—when you’ve got a diaper changing station at the ready. In addition to keeping supplies, like diapers, wipes, powder, and lotions at your changing table, create a portable changing station that can easily be carried to any room in the house when needed. A handled caddy stocked with supplies makes diaper duty more efficient. 32. DIY Size Dividers Because babies grow so fast—and because baby clothes are just so fun to shop for—your baby is guaranteed to have an impressive wardrobe. And, whether you’re keeping hand-me-downs, buying for the future, or have received outfits as gifts, you’ll have a wide assortment of sizes to store. It’s fun and easy to craft your own closet rod clothing size dividers using colorful cardboard cut into circles or by decorating door hangers to separate newborn clothes from one to three months, three to six months, six to nine months, and so on. 33. Pegboard Storage Pegboards aren’t just for basements and garages anymore. The effective organizational tool has made its way into modern and stylish room decor, too. Painted the same color as the wall or in a coordinating shade, a pegboard is completely customizable, very versatile, and totally on-trend. Attach pegs, hooks, baskets, and shelves to organize anything from diapers and wipes to blankets and books. 34. Edit As You Go An important aspect of getting—and staying—organized is frequently editing out items that are no longer needed, no longer fit, or just don’t work anymore. Keep a designated box or bin in your baby room closet to quickly toss in anything you no longer need. Once a month, pull down the box and determine which items can be donated, fixed, or thrown away. Remember, while it’s absolutely okay to hold onto items that are meaningful or special, edit honestly and let go of things you truly don’t need. 35. DIY Baby Shoe Organizers They may not be walking yet, but baby shoes are just too cute not to collect. Unfortunately, an unorganized shoe collection can quickly create a cluttered mess. With a little creativity, it’s easy to DIY a clever baby shoe organizer. Repurpose a thread rack to hang tiny pairs of shoes. Build your own shoe storage system using cut pieces of PVC pipe painted and hot-glued together. Create a hanging shoe system using rope and clothespins. Or, use curtain clips to hang pairs of shoes from a rod. 36. Don’t Ignore Corners Far too often, corners are forgotten when arranging furniture and placing shelving in a room. Cabinets and bookcases can add much-needed storage space while corner shelves add unexpected style to small spaces. Pieces designed especially for corners will maximize space and prevent awkward angles and jutting edges that can become a hazard for little ones just learning to get around. 37. Use A Floor Lamp Table lamps can be bulky, and overhead lighting can be harsh. Save valuable space on tabletops and add soothing light to a baby’s room using floor lamps instead. Put a floor lamp by a glider or rocking chair to add light for reading while rocking the baby. Place a floor lamp near your changing station to add soft light for late-night diaper changes. For even more versatility, use floor lamps with dimmer switches to add just the perfect amount of light when needed. 38. Baby Book Racks Wall-mounted magazine racks and file organizers can easily be repurposed as baby book racks in a nursery. They’re the perfect shape and size for displaying baby books for easy access while freeing up shelf space for other important items. Plus, the racks can be hung in places where a bookshelf may not fit, like on the wall next to the rocking chair or on the back of a door. Available in a variety of styles from rustic wood to clear plexiglass and modern wire, it’s easy to find one that perfectly matches your baby room decor. 39. Vacuum Bags Space-saving vacuum bags are perfect for a baby room. They can be used in a closet to organize clothes, store hand-me-downs for the next generation, and keep bedding clean and dry when not in use. 40. Think Outside The Nursery While keeping everything you’ll regularly use in the baby’s room is ideal, don’t hesitate to store lesser-used items out of the way or in another room. Large items you won’t use inside, like strollers or bulky winter outerwear, are better kept in a garage or mudroom. Clothes that don’t fit or toys that aren’t yet age-appropriate can be stashed in clear plastic bins and stacked out of reach on a high closet shelf or in a storage room. When it comes to organizing a nursery room, remember to incorporate ideas that keep the space clear of clutter, store commonly used items within easy reach while holding a wriggling baby, and create a practical flow for furniture and necessities—all while considering the room may be navigated in the dark for a 3 a.m. diaper change.

34 DIY Shelving Ideas That Are as Pretty as They Are Practical

It is no secret that I am a bit of an organizational nerd, and I love changing up my space and the way I organize and display my belongings. I am also a little bit of a memory hoarder, from tickets to trinkets I have a whole lot of ‘special' bits and bobs collected from my life and travels.

I have been meaning to expand my shelving game in my house for a long time, and I have decided that now is the time to do it. After having had a little look around, both in stores and online, I have concluded that by making my own shelves I can not only save some money but also make my shelves exactly how I want them.

Shelving doesn't have to be boring; there are loads of ways you can double them up to create funky wall art, even using a new shelving unit as a real feature piece in a room.

Practical & Pretty Shelving Ideas

1. Reclaimed Wood Floating Shelves

I love it when a modernly styled room has a couple of rustic accents added to it. These Reclaimed Wood Floating Shelves are a great example of that, especially against the otherwise clean and sharp finishes shown in this instance.

If you don't have any yourself, unused wooden planks are relatively easy to come across, and by asking friends and family, you will most likely find some easily. I like the size of the shelves in this example, they are large enough to be able to hold a fair few things but not so large that they take up a whole wall. If you don't like the look of the exposed wood you could always finish these off with a coat of paint.

2. Kids Bookshelves

Not only are these Kids Bookshelves incredibly practical, especially in a smaller room that could do without having a separate bookcase in it, they are also an entertaining way to jazz up a wall. The covers of kids' books are always bright and colorful, and this way your little ones will have no trouble choosing their bedtime story.

You could, of course, use this DIY in a different room for adults' books, something which would look effective. I have a quite a few stunning coffee table books that I would love to have on better display, and I think I might just have found the perfect solution.

3. Wine Box Shelves

These Wine Box Shelves are so adaptable, which is something I am a big fan of. You could make your collection of boxes as big or as small as you wanted, filling a significant portion of a wall or just a tiny corner.

You could use them practically, for tableware or books for example, or as a purely decorative piece, filling the boxes with vases, photo frames or special keepsakes. This specific example is sat on the floor as it was intended to cover something on the wall, but you would very easily mount these wine boxes onto the wall if you wanted them to be suspended.

4. Copper Pipe Shelves

I am obsessed with how sleek these Copper Pope Shelves look. Despite the fact that they are quite small, they still seem incredibly stylish and could make a perfect feature piece, especially in a monochrome room.

Because of how small and easy to mount these are, you could use them anywhere in the house, whether it's as a place to display a small succulent in a living room or a handy place to pop your keys just inside your front door. You could use any color piping and coasters, I think the copper is effective though and gives off that very in-fashion industrial vibe.

5. Wood and Leather Suspended Shelf

This DIY is so simple but creates a wonderful looking shelf. You could change the colors of both the wood and leather to match the room in which you were hanging this shelf, but I think the soft light colored wood along with the pale pink leather used in this example looks lovely.

Because the wood in this Wood and Leather Suspended Shelf isn't physically attached to the leather, it would probably be best not to place too many bulky items on the shelf. I personally don't mind this at all, I like the look of the shelf itself so much that I would rather have it as a more decorative piece, topped with a vintage camera and some flowers like in this example.

6. Rope Shelves

To me, with the grey colored wood, metal detailing and professional looking rope, these Rope Shelves are something I would hang in either our garage or utility room. With that said, however, this DIY is so easy to follow that you could easily adjust the colors and materials in order to make it a more decorative looking piece.

These shelves look sturdy, which is especially important when you are working with more than one level, avoiding the risk of an accident. There isn't too much to it when it comes to making them, just a little bit of drilling and some good old knot work.

7. Book Shelf

No, I don't mean just any bookshelf, I mean a shelf made of actual books. How genius an idea is that?

It is true that you couldn't put too many things on this Book Shelf, but I don't think that matters too much. It wouldn't take up a lot of wall space at all, so you wouldn't have to feel like you were wasting space if it worked more as a feature piece than a practical storage space. I think if I were making this myself I would try and find hardback, vintage versions of my favorite novels, but I do think the idea of covering any damaged covers in pretty patterned papers could also add a bit of color.

8. Pegboard Wall Organizer

I love how versatile this Pegboard Wall Organizer is. Not only can you place wooden planks across the pegs to create shelves, but you can also use the pegs to hang coats, bags, jewelry, you name it.

I think the perfect place to put this would be in the entranceway to a house. By having it here, it is not only an easy place to hang a coat as you enter the house, or a handy place to keep keys and wallets, but a great place to have a little reed diffuser or candle. This DIY delivers in appearance and practicality, which is just perfect, and although it might take a little while to make it, it is something that you will be able to keep and use daily for years to come.

9. Fruit Slice Shelf

These Fruit Slice Shelves are a lot of fun and would look sweet and refreshing in a kids' bedroom. That said, I am seriously considering putting some of these up in my office, it is an otherwise white room so these would add the perfect pop of color.

You could get creative when making your fruit slices, either choosing fruits that match your color scheme or even creating your own weird and wonderful varieties. They look incredibly simple to make, with only two main parts to them, and would be an excellent quick fix to display something like potted plants or a few books.

10. Hanging Shelves

The way that these shelves are hung is so minimal and chic looking to me, with the thin black cord and a metal ring at the top.

You'd have to be smart with your balancing when it comes to putting things on these Hanging Shelves but adorned with a few little trinkets or pots they would look gorgeous in any room. The light colored wood used in this example makes them very unobtrusive and simple, but if you wanted to, you could get creative with colors. The wood could easily be painted, and multiple different colors of the chord are bound to be readily available at your local craft store.

11. Wine Rack

Everyone needs a pretty Wine Rack in their kitchen, so why not pop your DIY gloves on and make one yourself?

We currently have a kind of basket thing that we use for our wine bottles at home which is not convenient in the slightest. I like this shelf system far better, as it means you can have easy access to the bottles and also know exactly which one you're grabbing straight away. This shelving unit could be easily adapted to other uses if you didn't want to use it for wine. By removing the nails that are used to keep the bottles from rolling, you could use these shelves to display bottles of spices and herbs.

12. Honeycomb Shelves

I seem to be seeing Honeycomb Shelves everywhere at the moment, from my friends' houses to stores, and I can't tell whether they have always been as present or whether I am only starting to notice them because of how into them I am.

One thing I had previously found rather impractical about honeycomb style shelving was that you could not put much on it, but this specific DIY totally solves that problem by having a shelf across the middle of the hexagon. Of course, you wouldn't have to do this if you didn't want to, just as easily as you could add more shelves, or mix and match like they have in this example. Again, very customizable, which gets a big thumbs up from me.

13. Ladder Shelf

What originally caught my eye with this Ladder Shelf is that beautiful, bright mint blue color. I don't know if I currently have anywhere in my house where that color would work, but now that I've seen it I am going to make sure I find a place.

There are so many things you could use this shelving unit for, regardless of whether you use it inside your house or outside like in the example. It would be just as perfect for clothes as it would be for books or toys. The finished shelves look incredibly professional, and I would most definitely be doing a double take if someone told me they had DIY'd them themselves.

14. Closet Organization Shelves

My closet in my old room at my parents' house used to have shelves in it, and I didn't quite realize just how useful they were until I moved out and didn't have them anymore.

If you don't have a storage space that these Closet Organization Shelves would work in, they would fit just as well in an alcove area on a wall. They don't look difficult to construct, and the number and length of them can be adjusted based on your space and needs. This is a perfect DIY for basic shelving, a great one to have up your sleeve should you ever need it.

15. Wood Slice Shelves

I love the natural, rustic look of these Wood Slice Shelves. I have seen things like this in sweet little cottages we have stayed in on holidays in the countryside, but never considered taking it and using it to create a feature in a room with a more modern interior design.

The mix of the wood and the metal detaining is incredibly stylish, and there are very few steps involved when it comes to putting them together. These would work well in any space, especially because you can choose the size of wood you use. I like the idea of having a few of these clustered together, maybe in the kitchen displaying bright bottles and jars.

16. Drawers Turned Shelves

Any DIY that includes a bit of up-cycling is a winner for me. I love the idea of taking something old that isn't being used anymore for its original purpose and giving it a new lease of life by transforming it into something new.

That is one of the reasons why these Drawers Turned Shelves jumped out at me, they do the whole up-cycling thing very well. The technique of painting the drawers almost roughly makes them look even more rustic and vintage, which would make them a perfect addition to any otherwise neutral or plain room. It is as simple as sourcing some old drawers and mounting them upon the wall, you couldn't ask for easier DIY shelves.

17. Branch Shelf

I suppose this is not so much a shelf as a place to hang things, although you could have the branches spread further apart and then have space to put things in between them.

This Branch Shelf would make a lovely yet practical piece to have in the entranceway to any home. It is quite the project, with many steps and a fair few bits of equipment involved, but you could make it a two-man job, think of it as a bonding experience as well as the creation of something beautiful. You could paint the entire shelf grey like they have in this example, or to be honest I think I prefer it left natural with the different colors of the wood. I also think this shelf would make a really lovely gift for someone, whether they're new homeowners or you just want to treat them.

18. ‘Home' Letters Shelves

These ‘Home' Letters Shelves are such a lovely idea, and one that I think would look great as a feature piece in a room. It is helpful that in this example they have shown a great number of things that can be put on the shelves. Because of the slightly odd shapes of some of the letter, I think I would have otherwise struggled initially in thinking of how to use them.

I have also seen this done with the letters of the word ‘love,' so you could play about with it if you wanted to. Although it looks like something you could buy in a store it is a lot easier to make than you would imagine, all it takes is the skillful organization and drilling of some wooden planks to make out the shapes of the letters.

19. Mug Rack

We have a lot of beautiful and even sentimental mugs in my house, and I have always thought that it was a bit of a shame to have them hidden away in a cupboard like we currently do. This Mug Rack is a perfect way of solving that problem, and the cubicles the mugs sit in look deep enough to be relatively kid-friendly.

I like that this unit has different sized shelves, it makes it look a bit less rigid and more relaxed and fun, especially with all the multicolored mugs. Well also have mugs of all different shapes and sizes, so it caters well to that. Although this example shows these shelves being used for mugs you could definitely use it for something else, whether that be glass or something entirely non-kitchen related. It could even look really cool in a kids' room displaying little soft toys.

20. Open Shelving

This Open Shelving would be incredibly handy to have in a frequently used room like a dining room, kitchen or living room. There is no limit on the number of things you could use it for, and you could decide to use it as easy access storage for things like crockery, or as a display unit for family photos.

I like the fact that there isn't too much drilling involved in this DIY because that isn't something that I myself am too skilled with. The color of the wood in this example is lovely, especially against the white walls. If you were making these shelves yourself it might be a good idea to have a look at different colors of wood, seeing which one goes best with your walls, flooring and other furniture before making your final decision.

21. Open Pipe Shelving

I am a huge fan of the current industrial meets modern interior styling that seems to be floating around and would love to get a little more of it incorporated into my own home. This can be relatively difficult to do considering that it often plays off of pre-installed fixtures, but with this DIY Open Pipe Shelving looks like a great way to add it from scratch.

I don't think this would work everywhere or with any color scheme, it is probably safest to stick to neutral and monochrome backgrounds like those shown in these examples. You can tell that these are non-working pipes that have merely been screwed into the wall which I like, and the shelves themselves are just simple planks of wood slotted in place.

22. Gold and Marble Shelves

My sister is a big fan of the marble and gold trend; you can tell that from a one-second glance at her bedroom. Have to admit that I think it can look incredibly stylish too, especially when you keep it simple with little touches here and there or one larger statement piece like these Gold and Marble Shelves.

This DIY is kind of cheating because it is explaining how to transform a regular shelving unit into a gold and marble detailed one, but it is still definitely worth having a look at. It's a perfect solution if you want to jazz up some old shelves, and if you wanted to start from scratch yourself, then you could start out by following one of these other DIYs then applying this one to stylize it.

23. Floating Window Shelves

I am such a plant lady. I am constantly buying new potted plants and succulents to display around my house, so much so that I am pretty sure the inside will soon be confused with the outside.

I just feel that plants give so much life to a room, an I absolutely love the idea of displaying them against a large window on these Floating Window Shelves. The plants will get the sunlight they need here and will be easily admirable. The use of glass for the shelves means that it will be unseen against the window, giving the illusion that the plants are floating. I like that in this example the plants are displayed along with some vintage looking bottles, and I'd definitely pop a couple of my own little trinkets on here too.

24. Frame Shelves

These Frame Shelves are perfect for a space like a desk or a bedside, somewhere you might need a shelf to put a couple of little things but that you also want to look pretty.

You can buy very deep box frames in stores, so if you want to lessen the work involved in this DIY even more then all you would have to do would be to remove the backing and mount them on the wall. Otherwise, you can follow these simple steps to make regular, flat frames stand out enough to double us as shelves. I would definitely go for some pretty, fancy frames when making these, but you could be as simple or as extravagant as you wanted to.

25. Solid Wooden Block Shelves

This is such a unique idea, and I think the way that these Solid Wooden Block Shelves fit snuggly into the corner is cool. Corner shelves are convenient but can often be challenging to get right. However, I think that this one does the job perfectly.

Because this is made up of single wooden blocks it is very easy to adapt the size, height, and shape of your shelf. After thinking about how you could further adapt and personalize this to match your own personal style, I realized you could make it quite funky by playing around with color. My main bathroom is almost entirely white, as many bathrooms probably are, and I was imagining how cool this design could look if you painted the blocks different colors before randomly assembling them. I am definitely going to have to give it a try now that the idea is in my head.

26. Plywood Bedside Shelf

I must say that I think this Plywood Bedside Shelf is pretty genius, and I doubt that even I would struggle to make it. Although the fact that it sticks straight out from the wall might seem a little strange at first, when you think about it, it is pretty practical regarding easy reachability.

You can't turn down having a go at this DIY because it is all held together by glue, no tricky sawing or drilling and therefore no excuses. The plywood is nice and thin so it doesn't look clumsy and bulky, and it would comfortably hold all your bedside essentials like your favorite book, alarm clock and a candle.

27. Dollhouse Bookcase

My little sister had something like this Dollhouse Bookcase as we were growing up and of course, I was always extremely jealous of it. She had hers mounted on the wall, and I think this specific DIY could be too if that's what you would prefer.

Any kid would love one of these in their bedroom, and you could even get them involved in the painting of the different ‘rooms.' Not only would this be perfect for storing books, toys, and even clothes if you wanted, but you could also leave a couple of the spaces free and set up little dolls house scenes within them for your kids to play with.

28. Corbel Shelves

Using corbels to support shelves is an excellent way of keeping them simple while still adding a little something special. You can get a wide variety of different corbels spanning a wide range of price points, and there is a style out there for everyone from the minimal to the flashy.

These Corbel Shelves are a great way of installing shelves in the middle of a wall without needing to add bulky supports or metal detailing. They will be far more supportive than if you were to simply screw the shelves into the wall, meaning that you don't have to be too careful or restricted when deciding what to use them for.

29. Hanging Wood Shelves

I haven't seen anything quite like these Hanging Wood Shelves before, especially this large and with the metal piping at the top. That is something that drew me to it, in fact, it was the whole concept of mixing so many different materials like metal, wood, and rope.

I would definitely want to use this as a feature piece in a room, and to be honest I think you would need to consider how many different things are going onto it. I like the choice to use classic colored rope and have it knotted bulkily at the tops, giving it a really cool rustic feel. Because of the strong metal piping at the top, you could pile lots of things onto the shelves, and also easily adapt the number of shelves to whatever space and purpose you needed it for.

30. Industrial Shelving

This is a very subtle way of adding some more industrial style touches into your home, which I think is an excellent place to start if you either haven't ventured down that route before or want to take it in baby steps.

I like that these Industrial Shelves have been used to cover a large area of wall space in this example, and I think that if I were making them I would do much of the same. Not only are they wide but there are also many different levels, so you wouldn't have to worry about being short of space. They are being used here both for practicality, holding crockery and books, and for decoration, with photo frames and potted plants. If you don't have as big a space to fill you could easily use this DIY to create a series of tiny shelves using exactly the same method.

31. Wallpapered Bookshelves

These Wallpapered Bookshelves are a perfect example of how you can take something simple and add your own little touches to make it more personal and suited to your home.

You would have to put these shelves up somewhere near a sofa or chairs like in this example, otherwise, you wouldn't be able to appreciate the pretty underside of them. With that said you could also cover the tops and sides of the shelves if you wanted to, I probably would. If you don't already have some wallpaper scraps you can most likely pick them up for free at your local homeware store, alternatively, you could try it out with good quality wrapping paper.

32. Box File Shelf

It's such a nifty little idea to use a box file as a shelf; it is already perfectly made to act as a double-layered shelf. As this DIY suggests, this would be handy to have just inside the front door of your house, especially if you don't have a lot of space for a full shelving unit, to leave your keys and wallet.

This Box File Shelf would take all of five minutes to mount on the wall and could even work as a short-term solution before you take the plunge and buy something more permanent. You can get box files in all different colors, and if you can't find the perfect one, then all it needs is a quick coat of paint.

33. Floating Corner Shelf

Although you could paint these Floating Corner Shelves any color you wanted to, the ones in this example look particularly good because they are the same color as the wall. This helps with the ‘floating' illusion and makes them very unobtrusive in the room.

The length of these shelves could be adjusted, I like the idea of having long ones that stretch out far along a wall but they would also work just as well in a small room if you cut them smaller. I reckon this would be a two man job, but once these shelves were finished they could stay up for good. This DIY comes with easy to follow diagrams which I always find incredibly helpful when I am trying something out for the first time.

34. Hanging Wooden Box Shelf

You wouldn't expect a DIY as simple as this one to create such a cute looking shelf. Having lived in a few student apartments in my time, I would have loved to have known about this quick fix Hanging Wooden Box Shelf, which doesn't leave more marks than just one small hole in the wall.

I am pretty sure that I have a wooden box like this lying around somewhere, or something similar at least, and I have some paint I could use to jazz it up. You could only store a few things in it, but it would be perfect for a bedside, and considering how easy and inexpensive it is to make I cannot complain.

Conclusion to Unique Shelving Ideas

After going through all these new and exciting ideas for shelving, I cannot wait to do a bit of re-organization and get some DIYing on the go. There is something for every need, from kids' bedrooms to shelves for displaying family memories to practical study shelves perfect for storage.

I want to try out the hanging Book Shelf made from old hardback books, as I think it would look good in my office space. I am also keen to build some Floating Corner Shelves to utilize every little bit of space that I have.
