After graduating from college, I moved to my very first apartment. It was so small – less than 50 m2. When you have limited living space, you do your best to maximize what you have. This is why I love furniture items that double as storage.
Today, my husband and I live with our kids in a home large enough for the family to freely move around. But one thing stuck with me – I still go for practical home furnishing. This is why I was really impressed when I came across this DIY project. It’s for a floating shelf with storage. I like that it’s minimalist in design and that I can store things inside it, too!
If you’re planning on taking on this project but have limited woodworking skills, seek help. The shelf will come out great if done correctly. I had one made by a good friend and I loved it!
