At Bastant Design, our shelves are created with both aesthetics and functionality in mind. They are not just a simple storage solution, but a design object that can add character and personality to any room. Whether you want to create a beautiful focal point in the living room or add practical storage in the kitchen, our shelves are versatile enough to meet all your needs. Here are five unique ways you can use our shelves in the living room and kitchen to make the most of their design and functionality.
1. Create a floating bookshelf in the living room
One of the most popular ways to use shelves in the living room is as bookshelves. But why not take it a step further and create a floating bookcase that adds a light and airy feel to the room? Our shelves can be easily mounted in different heights and arrangements, so you can create a unique wall installation that highlights your favorite books and decorative objects.
By mixing different sizes and finishes on the shelves, you can create a dynamic and personal bookcase that fits your style perfectly. Use the shelves to display art books, family portraits or beautiful vases – the possibilities are endless. A floating bookcase not only provides practical storage, but also acts as a work of art in itself.
2. Create a minimalist spice rack in the kitchen
In the kitchen, it's all about functionality, but that doesn't mean you have to compromise on style. Our shelves can be used to create an elegant and minimalist spice rack that keeps all your spices organized and easily accessible.
Place the shelves close to the stove or cooking area so you can quickly find the spices you need while cooking. Choose glass containers with labels for a uniform and clean look, and arrange spices by color or frequency of use for an even more organized style. This not only adds a beautiful visual element to the kitchen, but also makes cooking more efficient and fun.
3. Create a beautiful plant wall in the living room
Plants can bring life and freshness to any room, and our shelves are the perfect way to display them. By using shelves of different heights and sizes, you can create a beautiful plant wall in the living room that acts as a natural air purifier and adds a green touch to your decor.
Mix and match different plants such as hanging ivy, cacti, and small potted plants to create a dynamic and living wall. Choose pots in different materials and colors to add variety and interest. A plant wall can also act as a natural room divider, separating different areas of the living room in a subtle and stylish way.
4. Create a beautiful display of ceramics in the kitchen
If you love ceramics and handmade cups and plates, why not display them as part of your kitchen decor? Our shelves are ideal for creating a beautiful display of your favorite ceramics, giving your kitchen a personal and artistic feel.
Place the shelves above the kitchen table or in a corner to highlight the beautiful pieces and make them easily accessible for everyday use. By arranging the ceramics in groups or by colour, you can create a visual context that is both functional and aesthetically pleasing.
5. Create a cozy reading corner in the living room
A cozy reading corner can be a wonderful place to relax and immerse yourself in a good book. Use our shelves to create a personal and functional reading corner in the living room.
Mount one or two shelves at eye level next to a comfortable armchair and a reading lamp. Use the shelves to store your favorite books, magazines and maybe a cup of tea or coffee. You can also add a few small plants or decorative objects to create a cozy and relaxing atmosphere. The reading corner will become a peaceful sanctuary where you can take a break from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
