Choosing bedside shelves

In modern bedroom interior design, bedside shelves are very common, which can perform a lot of useful functions, thereby making life easier for a modern person. They complement the interior and look aesthetically attractive, and they can also store various things that should be at hand and all kinds of interior items. We will get acquainted with the varieties of designs of such products further, and also consider the most successful examples in the interior.

Bedside shelves are sturdy structures that attach to the wall beside the bed in various ways. They are considered very functional interior items, since they not only complement it, but also perform a lot of other useful functions. Such furniture products are not equipped with a front wall, like many cabinets, while they may or may not have a back wall, in this case it all depends on the style and the model itself.

Bedroom shelves are made from a wide variety of materials and are also painted in different colors. Depending on the material chosen, the final price for such products is mainly formed. Most often you can find shelves made of fairly affordable materials such as chipboard, MDF and plastic, less often glass and metal. There are also very expensive options from natural solid wood.

Bedside shelves can be classic rectangular or angular, very often their fasteners, on which they are attached to the wall, are made hidden. Such products look more aesthetically pleasing than those whose fasteners are visible. Such designs can have multiple shelves and even built-in drawers. The wall shelf comes in a variety of shapes and may or may not have small side panels.

One of the varieties of this kind of furniture products are various wall shelves, which can have several shelves. In addition to interior items, books are very often placed on them. Shelves can be of various configurations: triangular products, semicircular, any others. Products in the shape of triangles with built-in shelves of different sizes look very original.

And also in the bedrooms, wall shelves with so-called clamps are often placed. You can place anything in them: various magazines, books, and even photo frames.

Before shopping for your bedroom, we recommend that you pay attention to successful examples of bedside shelves in the interior.

• In a miniature bedroom where every square meter is important, you can place a shelf in a minimalist style for a smartphone and small decor, for example, you can put a mini vase or a candle here.

• In the bedroom in silver and white instead of bedside tables, you can place hanging white bedside shelves with a drawer. It is worth noting that such models look very good and harmonious in the interior when lamps are placed above them.

• For a bedroom in Provence or country style you can see a small shelf with a carved pattern. To emphasize the sophistication of French Provence, it is recommended to choose white, milky or creamy models with scuffs, that is, stylized antique ones.

• For modern classic interiors as a bedside shelf, you can consider a narrow model with a stucco-type decor.This option contains few different interior items, but at the same time it is a kind of highlight of the bedroom.

• For modern classic interiors a small bedroom, you can choose corner bedside shelves in the color of the wall coverings. Models painted to match the walls look especially harmonious. They look like a single whole.

• An original solution for creative individuals can be the installation of a hanging shelf. This option can be used both for installing interior items and for temporary storage of various little things. For example, you can leave glasses, books or even a glass of water on such a shelf. Despite its original appearance, such a shelf is quite stable and practical.

• Hinged metal model in black with clamps can perfectly complement the high-tech interior.

• And also for a bedroom in a modern style, we recommend considering a solution, when the shelf is installed not on the side of the bed, but above its headboard, or even used instead of it.

When choosing bedside shelves, it is very important to first of all focus on the interior of the bedroom. So, in a classic interior, suspended plastic models or glass options will be inappropriate, but options made of natural wood with or without carving will be very useful.

The same applies to modern interiors, for example, for a high-tech style it is best not to choose various options made of wood, but the original models of shelves made of high-quality plastic or glass will certainly be appropriate here. We also recommend paying attention to the shelves with additional lighting.

Such pieces of furniture should not be lost against its background, they should not be over-emphasized either. Everything should be harmonious. Unless otherwise intended by the interior designer. Bedside shelves with several compartments and a drawer can completely replace the classic bedside tables with legs, which often take up a lot of space.

Experts advise choosing shelves made from natural materials, since they will be located in the immediate vicinity of the sleeping place. As for rounded or rectangular shapes, here you should focus on the shape of the furniture that is already in the room. So, if a semicircular bed is installed in the room, then semicircular shelves are probably suitable here, and if the classic rectangular one, then the shelves can be chosen appropriate.
