Floating Shelf Installation Tips for Beginners

Floating Shelf Installation Tips for Beginners

Floating shelves are perfect for adding storage without cluttering a space, but bad installation leads to sagging shelves, damage, or even accidents.

Anchor into studs whenever possible for maximum strength. If you’re mounting into drywall without studs, use heavy duty hollow wall anchors designed to hold significant weight.

Measure twice and level carefully. Even slight tilts will become very noticeable over time, especially once items are placed on the shelf.

Avoid overloading shelves beyond the weight capacity of your anchors and brackets. Books, ceramics, and plants add up quickly.

Not confident? Let a professional installer ensure your floating shelves are perfectly level, strongly secured, and visually stunning.
