If you have the necessary items you can get to the actual point of installing and mounting the floating shelves. These steps are basic and require common sense but feel free to consult a professional if you are unsure.
• Select which wall in your home that you can use. It’s recommended to choose wide open walls with lots of space.
• Color and finish. You want the finished product to look amazing so choose carefully. Select colors that will complement the rest of your home.
• After you’ve chosen where to mount the floating wall shelves you can start cutting the hollow door into the lengths you decided.
• Cut cleats to fit into the shelves by using 2x4 bits of timber.
• Using a level and stud finders carefully make the necessary markings of where exactly you’re going to mount the shelves.
• Mount the cleats onto the wall that you are going to use to slide the shelves over. Use the level to make accurate measurements.
• After the cleats are mounted first slide the shelves over the cleats and make sure they fit. Once happy take them off and sand them clear of any debris.
• Place glue on cleats and inside hollow. Carefully slide the shelves onto cleats and secure by nailing or screwing it into the cleats.
After your floating shelves are up you can place your books and decorative items as you see fit. Unlike floating glass shelves that are easier to mount these require more attention to safety and detail.
