Shelves are often thought of as small bathroom or kitchen furniture. But nothing more trendy than installing one above the changing table in the baby's room. Or at child's height to allow him to store his books himself, for example. It can be installed anywhere, in the playroom for storage, in the bedroom to sort books, in a baby's room to store cotton swabs, diapers and others. In short, you will understand that we are already conquered by the object. In this article, we wanted to make a selection of the cutest shelves that are currently on the market. The mixture of wood, rattan and plants is really tasty. The boho, bohemian chic trend is really super present in baby or child's room decorations.

1- The DIY wooden shelf:

Nothing could be simpler to create this model yourself. If you are a bit of a handyman, this wooden shelf model is for you. Simple and efficient, we love this sleek side. You will find this type of wooden or metal square in all DIY stores. Here we opted for a version entirely in wood. Two brackets to be fixed to the wall and a solid wood plank aimed at the brackets and you're done. It's up to you to find the decoration that will highlight your work. This model throws in and above all it will not cost you much.

As long as you choose a quality wood such as oak for the shelf. Do not choose it too thin, otherwise the balance between the thickness of the brackets will not be respected.

2 - FLISAT from IKEA:

At Ikéa, we're smart but we don't teach you that. This FLISAT shelf in light oak is a marvel. You can use it in a thousand ways in your children's room. In the place to install small decoration or reading books for children. Or upside down to create a small dressing room with your child's day outfits. This model is very minimalist and that's what we love. There are different lengths to match your decoration and especially with the place where you will have decided to install them. The accumulation of 3 shelves as below is super pretty. The first two wooden shelves are placed upright and the last is intentionally placed upside down. With small hangers on the round bar, you can hang the next day's clothes. So put, you still have a shelf part to have the baby's little decoration.

3 - A bi-material shelf:


For those who love wood but not only, here are 2 models with metal brackets. The model below is a DIY that you can easily make. All you need to do is go to the nearest home improvement store and buy metal brackets, they come in all shapes and sizes. For the board as above, we recommend a nice solid wood board. If your decoration is a little more modern, it is towards this model that you should orient yourself. In this pastel-colored bedroom, the idea is to use the material mix of the pretty rattan armchair with metal feet. The harmony of the materials is really pretty.

The shelf below with metal brackets is a realization of the ROSE IN APRIL brand. These shelves are available in lots of colors, which you can match to the color of your child's room. The brand has 12 colors and 3 models of wall shelves.

This cute shelf that we have seen everywhere for 4/5 years is none other than a Ferm Living. We crack again and again on these small houses affixed next to each other. In wood and pastel colors, they will necessarily match the decor of your son or daughter's bedroom.

4 - Industrial style shelves:

The last model of shelf for children's room that we wanted to present in our selection is this slightly industrial model. It is terribly reminiscent of the racks of a warehouse. And this is really the idea that we want to keep by installing this type of storage in the room of his child. Here we can imagine that we have to go playful and set up a whole wall of shelves.
