Log Shelves Bring A Piece Of Nature Into Your Home

Be it rustic, modern eclectic or any other style, the décor in your home can always accommodate a long shelf or two. That’s because no home can say no to their natural beauty and charm. Log shelves are also something you can craft by yourself provided you have the necessary materials and tools.

The first step for such a project is obviously finding a log. Once you have it, proceed to cut off both edges of the log. Then decide which side you want to be placed against the wall. That side would have to be straightened out. Depending on how thick your log is you might get one or two shelves out of it. Use L brackets to attach the shelves to the wall.{found on designsponge}.

Above the window shelf

A single live edge shelf can change the whole room. It’s not necessarily about the visual impact the shelf has on the room’s décor as much as it is about the way in which it impacts the ambiance in the room. A live-edge shelf placed high above the window adds extra storage and, at the same time, gives the room a more welcoming feel.{found on isarkstudio}.

It’s usually the case with rustic interiors that use wood extensively in the form of exposed ceiling beams, wood panels, etc. Industrial interiors also tend to accommodate such features really well.
