A deeper, thicker floating shelf in paulownia wood with an iron bracket, 42 × 16 × 2 cm. The extra depth makes room for larger plants, a row of books or bathroom essentials, while paulownia keeps it light. The bracket screws into the wall and disappears inside the shelf for a clean look. Choose black, white or light brown for a bathroom, a living room, a bedroom or a kitchen.

01How to use it

How to hang this deep floating shelf

This deep floating shelf in paulownia wood measures 42 × 16 × 2 cm, deeper and thicker than most. Its iron bracket screws into the wall and disappears inside the shelf for a clean line.

The extra depth makes room for larger plants, a row of books or bathroom essentials. How much it can hold depends on your wall: screw into solid brick or timber studs for heavier items, and use cavity fixings on plasterboard for lighter ones.

  • Above a sofa: 20 to 25 cm above the back
  • Above a desk: 30 to 45 cm above the top
  • In a bathroom: 20 to 30 cm above the basin
  • Use wall plugs suited to your wall

Questions

What size is it?

It measures 42 × 16 × 2 cm. The extra depth and thickness make room for larger plants, a row of books, a stack of towels or bathroom essentials that would not fit on a slim shelf. Two or three shelves staggered on the same wall create a simple, open storage display.

What is it made of?

It is made of paulownia wood with an iron bracket. Paulownia is a light wood, so the shelf stays easy to install despite its thickness, while the iron bracket gives it a solid hold. The finish suits modern, Scandinavian and farmhouse interiors alike.

Which colours are available?

Black, white or light brown, to suit a bathroom, a living room, a bedroom or a kitchen. White disappears against a white wall for a minimal look, black makes a graphic statement, and light brown adds natural warmth next to plants and ceramics.

How is it fixed?

The iron bracket screws into the wall and disappears inside the shelf for a clean, floating look. Use plugs suited to your wall type: standard plugs for brick or concrete, and cavity fixings for plasterboard. Check that the bracket is perfectly level before sliding the shelf on.

How do I care for it?

Dust it with a dry or slightly damp cloth and dry it straight away. In a bathroom, wipe away splashes quickly and keep the room ventilated. Spread the weight evenly along the shelf, and check the fixings from time to time if it carries heavy items such as books or large pots.

    Lovely, plugs not great for my wall

    Lovely shelf. The plugs that came with it did not suit my old plaster wall so I bought different ones at the hardware shop. After that no problem at all.

    Toilet shelf glow-up

    Tiny toilet room, one shelf, a plant and a candle. Feels like a hotel now.

    Fiddly to get level

    The shelf looks good but I struggled a lot to get it perfectly level, the bracket has to sit exactly right or the shelf leans slightly forward. After a second attempt it is fine. Also one corner had a small dent from transport, the wood is quite soft.
