Storage & shelves.

How to choose a suitable design

Storage furniture should begin with the objects it will hold. Books, tableware, media equipment and personal belongings need different compartments and access. Check depth, door and drawer movements and the height of a visible top. Tall furniture can structure a wall; a low unit leaves room for artwork, a mirror or screen. Wall shelves require suitable substrates and fixings; photographs do not establish a load rating. Media furniture also needs coordinated cables, equipment ventilation and screen position. Leave some surfaces deliberately clear. A few objects often reveal the outline and finish better than a crowded top. The gallery helps compare enclosed bodies and open structures. Check internal layout, finish, load limits and fixings for the specific manufacturer version.
