The use of ropes in the production of shelves has won the hearts of decorators. This is because in addition to giving a special charm to the corner, it avoids the need for several holes in the wall. This way, just place two hooks to tie the rope. And the bigger it is, the more shelves it can be suspended on.

Make shelves yourself

If you think you can’t innovate in your decor using just boards, it’s because you don’t know the power of paint. Just make a circle with a pencil on the wall and mark where the shelves will be. Once cut, simply attach them to the wall and paint each one in the color corresponding to the wall color.

This also applies to other rooms, especially the living room. For those who don’t like enjoying a film or series in the dark, the illuminated niches provide indirect lighting. On the other hand, they make decorative objects more evident.

Integrated environments offer several benefits. Among them is the feeling of spaciousness in the room. However, some furniture or elements help to create this visual separation of the rooms. For example, a sofa, a rug and even a piece of furniture full of niches and shelves!
