Want some stylish shelving units to show off your prides and joys? Then take a look at these specimens, plus Naomi Cleaver presents her guide to buying.
As with any big item of furniture, you need to make sure it's going to fit the space you have in mind, so measure up before you head off to the shops, taking the tape measure with you. Another huge consideration is will it fit through the doors in your house? Lots of the cheaper shelving units come flat-packed, but some of the more expensive models are delivered whole - so don't be caught out!
Units with shelves built at different heights will allow you to take a more flexible approach to displaying your items - from vases through to books. Remember this is your chance to really show off your taste and style. Equally, if there are some things you would prefer to hide away, you could go for units that have closed compartments or drawers. BoConcept does a good selection, with prices starting at £1,199.
If you don't have much room, modular units are worth considering because you can build them to fit your exact requirements and, if you move to a bigger place, you can always invest in some extra shelves.
Some units work brilliantly as room dividers - something to think about if you don't have a suitable wall to rest one against.
