Did you know that we craft shelving to match the rest of your Meraki furniture? Shelving is a great way to add storage and interest on walls while using tonal qualities to complement other pieces of furniture in the same space and pull the design scheme together perfectly.
As with everything we make at Meraki, you get to make the important design decisions.
You decide what works best for you – the length of shelving, the surface texture, your preferred tone and the bracket design. Only then do we use our experience and expertise to start handcrafting it. All our shelving is made to order using sustainable European Oak and is then ready to be delivered 4-6 weeks later.
We’re always on hand to answer any questions you may have, and encourage you to visit our Warrington Design Studio and workshop where you can view all our sizes, leg styles and tonal options.
Embracing both tradition and modern flair, this popular option seamlessly blends classic and contemporary design.
Crafted by hand using a mix of sustainable prime and nature-grade European Oak, we start by finely sanding the surface to create a delicately smooth surface texture before finishing with one of our tonal choices.
Each broad timber plank is chosen for its individual character to produce a timeless look that will keep looking good for decades to come.
The surface is then finished using one of our eco-friendly hardwax oils which contain no solvents, are food friendly, hardwearing and easily maintained.
Your shelving needs to fit your space – perfectly. We can make shelving up to 1500mm, which includes two wall brackets.
Whatever size you require, you can feel rest assured that we’ll make it to both fit your space and be functional for your family.
We offer hairpin design wall brackets which work with all the tonal options and collections.
There will be many factors that go into selecting the right tonal option for your shelving and when done correctly it’ll help pull everything together.
Considerations should be the physical space you have available, the natural light entering the room, other furniture tones, and the textures of any soft furnishings or accessories that’ll be sharing the same space.
The natural light that flows into your room is the first step in determining which tonal options will work best. If your room is small and doesn’t get enough sunlight, consider lighter tones to lift the area, make it feel lighter and more spacious. Likewise, if your space is larger with lots of light, consider a darker tone with lighter walls and make it a statement piece.
The second step is to contemplate the colour scheme of the room. Think in terms of temperature.
Paint colours often give a feeling of warmth or cold. Current trends are using colours of whites, neutrals, greens, and blues. White & Blue can feel cooler in temperature and often lend themselves to darker brown furniture tones.
Greens feel a little warmer and work well with both neutrals and honey tones. Accessorised well neutral-coloured tables also work with neutral wall colours.
When selecting a tonal option its also good to have splashes of the same colour in the form of other items of free-standing furniture, shelving, and accessories to help pull everything together.
Avoid trying to match other furniture or flooring as it’ll all blend and the shelving will appear lost. Consider opting for two tones darker or complimenting other items of furniture in the same space.
