indoor wooden shelves need to be designed and constructed appropriately to help optimize performance when used as well as ensure durability over time.

Wood shelves not only help to display furniture but also help create aesthetic accents for the interior of the living space. From the living room, bedroom to the kitchen or bathroom, wooden shelves have many styles and materials to help make suitable and optimal choices when using.

Self-diseaning wooden shelves is also popular with many families because of its flexibility, suitability to the area as well as the specific needs of each homeowner. However, to own a beautiful and durable wooden shelf, you need to pay attention to the following factors:

Choose wood materials

Wood material is one of the important factors that determine the durability of shelves. For areas such as living rooms or bedrooms, industrial wood MDF coated with melamine or veneer is a popular choice for many families thanks to its reasonable price and diverse designs.

On the contrary, for areas such as kitchens or bathrooms, it is recommended to prioritize the use of moisture-proof wood or carefully processed natural wood. Choosing the wrong material can lead to warping and rot after a short time of use.

Calculating the depth of the wood shelves

The depth of wooden shelves in the house needs to be calculated reasonably based on the actual purpose of use. For bookshelves, the ideal depth of wooden shelves ranges from 25 - 30cm, enough to contain popular books without wasting space. If it is a wooden shelf displaying decorations, the depth can be smaller, about 20cm.

If used to store household items such as microwaves, rice cookers or kitchenware, the minimum depth should be about 40 - 50cm to ensure that items placed on shelves are not deflated or take up too much space.

Carefully calculating the depth of wooden shelves not only helps optimize living space but also ensures safety when used, limiting the shelves from being overloaded.

Ensuring a solid framework and connectivity

A durable wooden shelf in the house cannot lack a solid frame system. Especially for wall shelves, using againstpins, screws and reinforced iron frame systems is necessary to avoid breaking heavy objects.

For vertical wooden shelves, you should choose sturdy legs that limit vibration. If the shelves have many floors, you should have more cross-legged bars to increase the strength. The meticulousness in the linkage step will determine the actual durability of the product.

Refining surfaces and moisture-proof coatings

In addition to the structure, the wooden shelves also need to be carefully treated. PU paint, melamine or laminate not only make the shelves smooth and easy to clean, but also increase waterproofing, limiting the attack of termites.

For indoor wooden shelves placed near windows or places with direct sunlight, you should choose a coating that is resistant to UV rays to keep color lasting for a long time, limit silver or peeling paint.
