Floating Shelves: Storage That Doubles as Art

Some things aren’t meant to be tucked away—they’re meant to be seen! That’s where floating shelves come in. They give your favorite books, plants, or knick-knacks the spotlight they deserve. Not only do floating shelves keep your things organized, but they also bring a modern, stylish flair to any room. Here are three creative ways to make your floating shelves pop.


1) Floating Shelves in Color

Go bold! Choose a striking color for your shelves that really makes a statement. These clients wanted a bold wall to serve as the perfect backdrop for their eye-catching displays.

Take a cue from these neutral styles—a more natural aesthetic that blends seamlessly with your space. Look for objects and accessories that complement the soft, earthy tones of your surroundings for a cohesive feel.

1) Floating Shelves in Glass

Call us old-fashioned, but there’s something timeless about showcasing your favorite bottles and glassware on sleek, open shelves. For an extra touch of elegance, consider floating glass shelves. Their transparent design adds a modern, airy feel while keeping the focus on your bar essentials. Glass shelves are not only visually striking but also blend seamlessly with any décor, elevating the look of your space without overwhelming it.

3) Floating Shelves with Light

Add a whole new dimension to your floating shelves with integrated lighting. Whether it's subtle LED strips or accent spotlights, lighting beneath or along the edges of your shelves not only highlights your display items but also transforms the entire room, making your shelves a striking blend of functionality and style.


For this project, our team designed a bar addition for I.Gorman Jewelers, a family-owned jewelry store in Washington, DC. The goal was to provide customers with a relaxed, luxurious experience while selecting their jewelry. We redesigned the display cabinet and crafted elegant, translucent floating shelves to enhance the store's ambiance.

Storage Hacks for a Clutter-Free Laundry Room

When it comes to laundry room storage, creativity is everything. For this Arlington client, we were tasked with blending a rustic, functional entertainment space with a hidden laundry room. The solution? A set of pocket doors that not only conceal the laundry unit but also highlight their impressive wine collection.

If space allows, stacking your washer and dryer is an excellent way to maximize room. From there, custom shelving can be tailored to suit your specific needs. Featured in Northern Virginia Magazine, take a look at how we designed this laundry room shelving to perfectly accommodate wicker bins and vacuums.


When interviewed in Northern Virginia Magazine, owner Michael Sauri adds, "Some clients are OK with having a combination washer-dryer. … But if you have enough height to double stack a unit, you can have a full-size washer and dryer stack."

Closet Reinvented: Creative, Unexpected Uses

Who says closets can’t be fun? Why not turn your old, forgotten closet into something unexpected—like a cozy coffee bar right in your bedroom! We took this underused closet and turned it into the ultimate morning brew station. Because really, who wouldn’t want coffee just a few steps from their bed? It’s like a mini café with zero lines and all the perks.

This one is hiding something special—a Murphy door that opens to reveal a secret bookshelf! But here’s the fun part: It’s not just for books. It doubles as a hidden hideaway for the kids, offering a sneaky spot to escape, read, or just have a little quiet time away from the hustle and bustle.
