Discover our selection: You will find wooden shelves, modular and metal shelves and even storage units and bookcases.

At The Cool Republic, we love wall shelves: they instantly provide a solution to storage problems and, chosen from our pages, they are proof of an undeniable love of design. Made by the greatest design brands such as String, Serax, Hartô, Tema Home and Bloomingville, they are sold as a set or individually, and every one of them will meet your quality requirements with creativity.

Whether they stand on legs or take the form of simple boards, modular, put together by your own hand, bought ready to install or in kit form, wall-mounted or a metal bookcase, shelves are never chosen at random for your interiors.
Choose materials, shapes and colours in harmony with your interior décor. Are you looking for a storage unit for the dining room? Or bookcases for your office and your treasured objects? A metal shelf for your decorative pieces or your TV unit? Contemporary hanging shelves with sliding doors, practical yet original in design, to store your books? We have put together a wonderful selection to suit your every wish and every room, for a look that is entirely your own!

For instance, we offer the Link shelves by Studio Hausen. This lovely Berlin brand develops understated, effective storage solutions with intelligence and minimalism. The designer shelves are modular and adapt to your space. Their clean lines and their oak and black or white steel construction, supplied with wall brackets and fixings, will bring your space a customisable Scandinavian style along with a practical, geometric edge.

We also adore the Pocket shelves by design brand String. This ready-to-install set of three shelves will be perfect for your interiors: practical and attractive, it adapts to any dimensions and modules you have in mind. The icing on the cake? These designer shelves, with their industrial style, come in several materials, a combination of wood and metal, with lacquered metal, oak and MDF, and in a range of colours to harmonise your rooms. Use them however you like for your storage, to keep your decorative objects within easy reach, in a child's bedroom or to store books.

Frequently asked questions

Which designer shelf should I choose for a small living space?

For small spaces, opt for floating wall shelves in metal or light wood, which create a sense of lightness. Choose models 60 to 90 cm wide, without excessive depth (20-25 cm). Minimalist or Scandinavian styles work particularly well. One or two well-placed shelves are enough to display your objects without visually overloading the room.

How do I match a designer wall shelf with my existing decor?

Coordinate the shelf material with your furniture: natural wood for a warm interior, black or brass metal for a contemporary style, white for a clean look. Consider the mounting height (135-160 cm for eye level) and the spacing between shelves. Arrange your objects by alternating empty and full areas for a balanced, airy visual effect.

Which designer shelf material is the easiest to maintain?

Lacquered metal and treated wood are very practical: a wipe with a damp cloth is all it takes. Raw solid wood requires more regular care with a suitable oil to preserve its appearance. For damp environments such as the kitchen, go for metal or water-repellent treated wood. Prevent dust build-up by regularly dusting your shelves and objects.

Can several designer shelves in different styles be combined on the same wall?

Yes, provided you maintain visual consistency. Pair complementary materials (natural wood and black metal, for example) and vary the lengths to create a dynamic composition. Keep an overall unity of style, whether contemporary, industrial or pared-back. Align the shelves geometrically for a harmonious rather than disorderly result.

What is the ideal designer shelf depth depending on its use?

For books and decorative objects, a depth of 20-25 cm is more than enough. Larger collections or plants require 30-35 cm. In the kitchen or living room, go for 25-30 cm for a balance between capacity and visual lightness. Avoid depths greater than 40 cm, which can look bulky and make it harder to arrange things evenly.
