The best white floating shelves to add storage with little effort

Just as with any other shelving unit, a floating shelf comes with its own benefits. It can hold items and decorations that did not have a place originally. It can add to a room’s bare walls without committing to a single look. It can easily have items that can be replaced for differing seasons or even through a child’s lifetime as they grow up and change their interests. Shelving units are also great for decorative storage of items such as books or memorabilia. Floating shelves simply add to the magic of all of that.

A floating shelf can be a great addition to a room for many different styles. A flat and simple white floating shelf can be a beautiful approach to a minimalist who would want a less cluttered look for their décor. If you have plants or small decorations to fill around your home, a box shelf may be the kind of framing you need for those precious items. Some may have a modern design with differing shapes or additives that will make it pop and become a statement in a room.
