Plywood wall shelves and floating desk in niche, by Emma

definition

I hung 30mm thick wall shelves in a niche in my living room. The top three shelves act as bookshelves and are as deep as the alcove. The bottom shelf is deeper and functions as a small desk.

Custom wall shelves and desk

I bought steel L-profiles with the same size as the shelf (30mm). These are attached to the wall on all three sides of the niche by drilling holes in them and using a plug/screw. The underside of the plank was then milled in so that the planks sink exactly into the steel L-profile. In addition, the bottom shelf, the desk, is pierced at the bottom of the L-profile and also secured here with small screws. The other planks simply lie loose on the profiles. The top planks are treated with a clear staircase lacquer, the bottom plank is treated with a 2-component parquet lacquer.
