Materials List

  • Pot Lid Organizer
  • Traceless Nails
  • Hammer

 

Step by Step

Step 1: Measure and Position

Decide where you want your floating shelf to live. Hold the kitchen storage against the wall and expand it to your desired width. Use a pencil to mark the spots where the top hinges will sit.

Step 2: Hammer the Traceless Nails

Place your traceless nails on the marked spots. Hammer them in firmly.

Step 3: Expand and Mount

Fully expand the pot lid organizer and carefully hook the frame onto the nails. Ensure the rack is sitting flush against the wall and feels secure.

Step 4: Secure the End Pegs

Take the stainless steel tubes (pegs) and screw them into the base of the rack. These pegs act as the "shelves" that will support the weight of your books. Make sure they are tightened securely to prevent any wobbling.

 

And there you have it! A industrial-style floating bookshelf for the price of a cup of coffee. This DIY idea not only cleans up your floor space but also turns your book collection into a piece of wall art. It’s sturdy, easy to install, and even easier to remove if you ever move out.
