Floating Shelves: You Can Do This!
Recently we’ve had the opportunity to partner with some amazing influencers on projects around their home. The results have been stunning, and we wanted you to see just how they did it!
We’ve seen our Floating Shelves used in kitchens, dining rooms and guest rooms. Every influencer emphasizes how easy the installation has been. We hope this encourages you – you can do this too!

In The Dining Room
Mindy Parisi, host of Finding Silver Linings blog, recently used six Floating Shelves to add depth and a warmth to her dining room. She went from bare to beautiful walls in just one afternoon.
You can find step-by-step instructions for Mindy’s project here. Just follow along to see how she flanked a centerpiece wall clock with our four-foot-long Rustic-style floating shelves.
In The Kitchen
Ashley Rowland also showed off her step-by-step tips for installing our Floating Shelves as part of her whole kitchen renovation. Her story shows her talents for carefully standing on a countertop to install wooden mounting boards to her studs. She then secured the three Ambrosia Maple Floating Shelves to the studs and finished in record time!
In The Guest Bedroom / Office
Choosing to showcase two of our Floating Shelves in a different way, influencer Heather Bien added them to her guest bedroom/home office. She selected a burnt red stain for the Ambrosia Maple shelves, so that the shelves matched a trunk positioned below the shelves.
The deeply satisfying boldness of the stain on the Floating Shelves helped Heather create a showplace for family treasures and mementos.

Any Room, Any Style
Designed to bring a rustic element to any room, our impressive Floating Shelves stand 4-3/4-inches tall and have a depth of seven inches. They come in lengths of 3, 4, and 5-ft.
The shelves come in two versions: with black wrought iron decorative trim (like Mindy used) and without trim, like Heather and Ashley used.
Lightweight and easy-to-install in just minutes, each shelf comes with a mounting cleat, wall screws, finish nails and instruction sheet. There’s also a step-by-step video included on our Ornamental Moulding and Millwork website.
Try your hand at adding our Floating Shelves to your home. They’re available nationwide through Lowe’s, The Home Depot and Wayfair.
