Creative Shelves

Thinking beyond the linear options for floating shelves is another great way to fill up a blank wall. Go for live edge shelves to add a natural feel to the space (it’s a hot trend right now!), try shelves hanging on leather or ribbons, go for a large shelving unit with many compartments that features a unique shape – the possibilities are endless and you’ll get some storage space, too!

Ladders

Prop a ladder against the wall! This is a great idea for many décor styles, especially rustic and boho. The ladder doesn’t have to be tall but if using more than one it’s important to vary the size and height for interest. Ladders are also a great option if you want to feature some soft textiles because they can be displayed on the ladder rungs, and you may use them for showing off your shoes, glasses and hats, so it’s a perfect idea for an entryway.
