6 Fresh Ways to Use Wall Shelves for Art

We love when a trend gives us a new way to hang art. It fuels creativity and gives us a new perspective on our work. One of the big trends a lot of clients have been asking for is to have wall shelves installed to hold their art. It’s sort of like a flexible version of the gallery wall, because the pieces can be rearranged and swapped out very easily, and without the stress of putting another hole in the wall. We also love the look of art on wall shelves — it allows pieces to be layered in a way that’s impossible to do with standard hanging methods.

Here, a few of our favorite iterations of the trend we’ve seen around the web.

1. A great way to make use of a small wall.
