Diy Floating Corner Shelves

DIY floating corner shelves are a great way to add storage and style to your home. They are relatively easy to make, and can be customized to fit any space.

To make a floating corner shelf, you will need:

• Wood for the shelf, such as plywood or MDF
• Wood for the braces, such as 2x4s
• Wood glue
• Screws
• A drill
• A saw
• A level
• A stud finder (optional, but helpful)

Once you have gathered your materials, follow these steps:

1. Cut the wood to size. For the shelf, you will need two triangular pieces and one front edge piece. The triangular pieces should be the same size, and the front edge piece should be the length of the two triangles combined.
2. Assemble the shelf. Use wood glue and screws to attach the triangular pieces to the front edge piece.
3. Attach the braces to the wall. Use a stud finder to locate studs in the wall where you want to hang your shelf. Mark the location of the studs, and then drill pilot holes. Attach the braces to the wall using screws.
4. Hang the shelf. Place the shelf on the braces, and then use a level to make sure it is level. Mark the location of the screw holes on the shelf, and then drill pilot holes. Attach the shelf to the braces using screws.

Once your shelf is hung, you can decorate it however you like. You can add plants, books, or other decorative items to make it your own.

Here are some tips for making DIY floating corner shelves:

• Use a level to make sure your shelf is level before you attach it to the wall.
• If you are using plywood, make sure the undertones match up with whatever other wood you are using. That way it will all look the same after it is stained.
• You can use pocket holes to hide the screws on your shelf.
• If you are not comfortable using a saw, you can have the wood cut to size at the hardware store.

With a little bit of effort, you can make your own beautiful and functional DIY floating corner shelves.
