Accurately measure your wall space to ensure the shelf fits without overcrowding the area.
Choose water-resistant or easy-to-clean materials like treated wood or metal for moisture-prone areas.
Thicker shelves make a bold statement especially in larger rooms, while thinner ones offer a more subtle, streamlined look for smaller spaces.
Shelves with adjustable brackets give flexibility in height for future layout changes.
Ensure the shelf can handle heavier items like books or electronics for stability and safety.
