Whether you’re looking to organize, store or display, shelves are an easy way to get the job done. We have a large IKEA Expedit unit in the living room that I am forever rearranging and looking for a way to make it more personal and less Ikea. While looking for ideas, I found some other really cool ideas for shelving …
Crates. I love old crates anyway, and hanging them on the wall gets them up off the floor and makes for a charming and cozy place to store things. [And hello - casters! Love it!]

Loving these ladder shelves [um, and the guitar collection - especially the steel - killer]. Great for an industrial touch.

A shelf made out of magazines? Yep – National Geographics. Pretty darn awesome.

Don’t have a fireplace mantle? Make one and use it as a shelf. If you’re not very wood shop friendly, scour craigslist and salvage shops that carry architectural items for an old mantle to use.

Super rustic … I love bringing natural elements into the home and this driftwood shelf does it perfectly.

Bringing new meaning to the word bookshelf. These shelves ARE books! You can choose from a selection of titles too.
I spotted this mod book hanger over at sfgirlbybay. They come in black, orange and white and also function as a bookmark. Give thanks to the ºes design label for this genius.

Who knew that mushrooms made such great display shelves? The DIY is a little involved, but well worth it. Will someone please make some for me????
