Woodworking Plans for Shelves

Shelves add storage and style to any room, and the patterns, shapes, and sizes are unlimited. Simple floating shelves or complex multi-shelf units with doors are useful in every room, from the kitchen to the bathroom or bedroom. Use teak or redwood to create shelves for patios or decks because these woods are very resistant. Shelving can be a great project for a beginner or require advanced carpentry skills.

Hardware is used to assemble contemporary or utility shelving, while decorative millwork is used for open shelving plans. Use MDF and paint for sturdy shelving for children or beautiful hardwoods to make a shelf for bookcases. Add trims and moldings to give style and elegance to your shelves. We offer many free shelf plans with lots of tips and instructions, making it a perfect family project or a way to refresh your knowledge and learn new skills.
