What exactly are floating shelves?

Would they look good on my living room wall?

Unlike fixed brackets units, which are attached by visible nails and pins, floating shelves appear to float over walls seemingly unattached to screws and hinged.

They are a stylish way to show off prized buys and art pieces. Also referred to as torsion box shelves, they are made of engineered wood with internal bracket support, which forms a shallow closed box, providing load-bearing strength.

They are available in a wide range of colours, sizes, designs and shapes and make fine interior decorating accessories. They’d look amazing in any room!
