Your home should be a reflection of you - your style, your needs, and your way of living. That’s where modular furniture comes in. With endless configurations, finishes, and styling options, Shelved’s modular systems offer a truly personal touch to any space. Whether you're creating a statement display, designing the perfect home office, or finding practical solutions for storage, here's how to make your modular shelving truly your own.
Choose a Layout That Works for You
One of the biggest advantages of modular shelving is its flexibility. Unlike traditional fixed shelving, modular designs can be rearranged, expanded, or reconfigured as your needs change. Start by considering how you use your space - modular shelving isn't one-size-fits-all it can be adapted to work in any room of your home. Here’s how you can tailor your shelves to suit different spaces:
- Living Room: Create a sleek entertainment unit with shelving that integrates your TV, speakers, and other media equipment.
- Home Office: Organise your workspace with an integrated desk shelving unit, designed to store files, office supplies, and decor.
- Bedroom: Use a modular unit as a stylish alternative to a traditional wardrobe or bedside table.
- Hallway: Make a great first impression with a shelving system that stores shoes, keys, scarfs, gloves, or even your dog lead all while adding personality.
- Or, if you're working with a tricky corner, our corner modular shelving units make use of every inch while maintaining a sleek aesthetic.
Mix and Match Open & Closed Storage
Do you need more open shelving for display, or do you prefer concealed storage for a cleaner look?
A well-balanced shelving system isn’t just about what you display—it’s also about what you hide. Combining open shelves with closed compartments allows you to showcase your favourite books, plants, and decorative pieces while keeping everyday clutter - documents, tech accessories, or kids' toys - neatly tucked away.
Incorporate Functional Accessories
Make your shelving work harder for you by adding functional elements. Incorporate storage boxes for a clutter-free look, or use stylish planter boxes to bring greenery into your space. Adding a built-in desk or a TV unit can further enhance functionality while maintaining a cohesive design.
Choose Finishes That Reflect Your Style
Your shelving should blend with your interior style. With a variety of finishes available, you can choose a look that best suits your aesthetic. Opt for a sleek anthracite framework for a contemporary feel, or clear coat for a more industrial and raw finish. Choose our warm wooden finishe to create a cosy, organic touch. Browse our colour options or order a sample kit to see how you can make your modular shelving a true extension of your personality.
Showcase Your Personality with Styling
Shelving isn’t just for storage—it’s an opportunity to showcase your personality. Display books that inspire you, add artwork that reflects your tastes, and mix in decorative elements like candles and framed photos.

Make It Evolve With You
One of the greatest benefits of modular shelving is that it’s not a permanent decision. If your needs change—whether you move home, expand your collection, or simply want a fresh look—you can reconfigure or add to your setup without replacing your entire system. This makes Shelved’s modular furniture a long-term investment, offering sustainability and adaptability in one smart design.
