For many, storage is an issue especially you live in a tiny home, such as an apartment or condominium unit. You have to be smart and practical by picking storage items that can be easily hidden or can double as décor. Some of the best options for the latter are hanging or floating shelves. These can serve as decorative repositories for books, pottery, and other knick-knacks, while turning a blank wall into a functional area.
If you’re to go DIY and breathe new life into your vertical space, here are a few options that look great and are cheep, too! You can buy (or have them delivered) these hanging or floating shelves for less than P1,500.
