Wall mounted component shelf

Back in the day, when TV’s were huge and bulky, you needed a floor-based stand or entertainment unit to keep the TV and all its related gadgets together in one area. These days however, with flat-screen TV’s you can place your TV on the wall and out of the way with a tidy wall mounted component shelf underneath to hold your cable box, DVD player and gaming console or surround sound amplifier. The result is a clean, uncluttered viewing area that everyone can enjoy.

Ceramic corner shower shelf

When adding a ceramic corner shower shelf for convenient placement of soaps, shampoos or whatever else you need when taking a shower, you can either use a silicone caulk to install the shower shelf, or hardware. If you choose the hardware option, be careful when you’re mounting the shelf that you don’t over tighten the screws. This could cause your shower tiles to crack under the pressure.

You may want to get a shelf that has a spout – the kind that lets water flow out. Otherwise, when soap is left on the shelf, it will sit in water and start to get all goopy.

Glass corner shower shelf

Since a corner shelf is supported on two sides rather than only one, some manufacturers have been able to design glass shower shelves that once installed, have no visible means of support. This is very esthetically pleasing. However, this type of floating shelf will require extra installation work on your part, as well as the proper tools. Before you buy this type of corner shelf, check out the installation method, to ensure that you are handy enough to install it properly.
