IKEA wall shelves: smart storage for your walls

With IKEA wall shelves, you can design storage exactly how you need it – whether you’re working with a small room or a big wall. Our versatile shelving solutions turn your wall into a handy place to store and display the things you want to show off. Decorations, books, photos and plants all fit neatly on wall shelves, picture ledges, hanging shelves and floating shelves. These shelves combine great design with clever function, helping your home feel more organised and a little lighter.

Can I find the right wall shelf for every room and occasion at IKEA?

From classic wooden wall shelves and practical cube shelves to modern wall boards and metal shelves, we offer solutions for every room and style. Many designs are easy to combine, expand and adapt, so you can create storage that fits your space and your interior style. With different colours and sizes – from black shelves to oak-effect picture ledges – it’s easy to build a look that feels right at home. Whether you need a handy spot in the kitchen, a place for books in the living room or a simple display above the bed, IKEA wall shelves create extra space and help keep things in order.

What makes hanging shelves special?

Hanging shelves add an airy, elegant feel to your walls. They’re suspended from straps, ropes, hooks or brackets (depending on the design), which helps create a cosy, modern look. Choose from styles in wood or metal, and you’ll also find options that bring in natural materials for extra warmth. Hanging shelves are a clever way to gain storage space while showing off a bit of personality – especially in smaller rooms.

Are floating shelves a good storage solution for my rooms?

Floating shelves have a clean, minimalist look and can seem to ‘float like magic’. They’re mounted using concealed hanging brackets, so the fixings stay out of sight and your wall looks calm and uncluttered. A wooden floating wall shelf can be a stylish feature in a modern interior, while giving books, plants  or decorations a tidy place to shine. An IKEA floating shelf offers practical storage and a neat frame for your favourite things – ideal when you want functionality and style to work nicely together.

When are wall boards a good idea in my home?

No space for a larger shelf in the kitchen? Want to use a small section of wall in the living room for storage? Would a few wall boards look good in a child’s room too? Wall boards are a simple solution. They’re quick to install and can hold a surprising amount (check the product page for maximum load). They’re ideal when you want to add extra storage quickly and affordably alongside your larger shelving units, chests of drawers and wardrobes.
