WALL SHELVES AND WALL RACKS

Wall shelves and wall racks are a bit of a game changer when floor space is limited and clutter starts to build up. They move storage up onto the wall and bring more order to the room. Here you will find wall shelves and wall racks made from reclaimed wood and metal, where raw materials and practical function go hand in hand. These are solutions built for cafés, restaurants and shops, but they work just as well at home. In short: less clutter, more character, and storage that deserves to be seen.

How to choose the right wall rack or wall shelf

If you want to get it right the first time, it is about both looks and function. Do you need storage, display space, or a combination of the two?

Consider:

• Purpose
  Will the shelf hold products, cups, or simply a few decorative pieces?
• Material
  Wood adds warmth and personality. Metal creates a cleaner and more industrial look.
• Size and weight
  How much weight should it carry, and how much wall space do you have available?
• Placement
  Above a counter, in a niche, or as part of a larger wall display?

A black wall rack in iron works particularly well in retail environments where products need to be presented clearly. A wooden wall shelf made from reclaimed wood creates a warmer and more relaxed atmosphere in cafés and homes.

Wooden wall shelves with patina and personality

Wooden wall shelves are more than simple storage. They bring character and history to a wall. Our wooden wall shelves made from reclaimed wood feature marks, colour variations and imperfections that make each piece unique.

They work especially well in:

• Kitchens, where glasses, pots and tableware should be within easy reach
• Cafés, where the atmosphere should feel relaxed and authentic
• Shops, where you want to soften an industrial interior

Looking for something to display? Our clay pots and glass vases pair naturally with wooden wall shelves and help create a display with character.

Metal shelves and wall racks with an industrial edge

When you want a cleaner and more industrial look, metal shelves are the natural choice. Metal shelves and wall racks are durable, simple and easy to use in shops, cafés and restaurants.

They are ideal for:

• Retail stores
  Displaying products in a neat and organised way
• Cafés and restaurants
  Cups, glasses, menus or decorative items that deserve a visible place in the interior
• Offices
  Practical storage without creating a heavy visual expression

Use wall shelves and wall racks as part of the interior

Wall shelves and wall racks are not just something you hang on a wall. Used correctly, they can help define an entire room.

A few simple tips:

• Use several smaller shelves instead of one large shelf for a more dynamic look
• Combine wood and metal to create contrast
• Leave some open space. Not every shelf needs to be filled
• Work with different heights to create visual interest

In shops, cup racks are often used to create small display zones where products get their own stage. It is not just storage. It becomes part of the experience.

Cup racks in reclaimed wood for display and everyday use

Cup racks made from reclaimed wood are designed for exactly what their name suggests. Cups. Simple as that. They offer an easy and organised way to store and display mugs and cups without ending up in piles or hidden away in cupboards.

The wood has lived a previous life, and this is visible in the surface, colour variations and small details that give each cup rack its own personality. They work beautifully in cafés and shops where cups are part of the interior, but also in kitchens at home where favourite mugs deserve a visible place. An honest solution that combines practicality and character.

Combine with other storage solutions

If you want to take your interior one step further, combine wall shelves and wall racks with other storage solutions such as shelving units or console tables. This creates storage both on the wall and on the floor, helping to build a more cohesive interior.

FAQ about wall shelves and wall racks

How deep should a wall shelf be?

It depends on what you plan to store. For cups and glasses, 20–25 cm is often enough. Larger items such as pots or bottles may require 25–35 cm for better stability.

How much weight can wall shelves hold?

This varies from model to model, but iron wall racks generally support more weight than wooden wall shelves. Proper installation and wall type are just as important as the shelf itself.

At what height should wall shelves be installed?

As a general rule, shelves are placed at eye level or slightly above work height. In kitchens and cafés, this is often around 140–180 cm from the floor.

How much space should there be between shelves?

For cups and glasses, 25–35 cm is usually sufficient. Larger objects often require additional space.

Can wall racks be installed on plasterboard walls?

Yes, but correct fixings are essential. Special plasterboard anchors or mounting into wall studs will provide the best support.

How do I plan a wall with multiple shelves?

Start by defining the purpose. Mark the layout with tape before drilling to get a sense of the proportions. Varying shelf sizes and positions often creates the most balanced result.
