“Floor-to-ceiling shelving units are the perfect solution for small areas and will provide you with more storage space,” says Anton Skarlatov, founder of Fantastic Handyman. “Such a cabinet or a bookshelf can bring a lot of harmony and comfort to a room. Moreover, the benefit of additional storage space will help you a lot with the clutter.” Whenever you decide that you would like to build such a shelving structure in your home, you need to think of all the purposes you need it to have and where you will place it. Commonly, floor-to-ceiling shelves are used as bookshelves. Of course, that is not the only purpose and variation. This kind of shelving is also perfect for home offices when you want to have an additional storage area near and or above your desk—and can even work as additional dining room or kitchen storage. According to Skarlatov, the number of ways his clients take advantage of floor-to-ceiling shelving are almost endless. The only disadvantage that the floor-to-ceiling shelving has is the hard reach to the top shelf—but you can always pick up a ladder or step stool for that! Whether you’re hoping to install a floor-to-ceiling shelving unit in your own home—or you’re just curious to see how these types of units look in various settings, we’ve rounded up a handful of exceedingly handsome ways to incorporate floor-to-ceiling shelves in your space.
