Buy a Cube Shelf
63
A cube shelf can be a great addition to any room in your home. They’re attractive, trendy, and affordable and can have a big visual impact on any space. Cube shelving is also a wonderful way to store items and get them out of the way yet in easy reach.
Cube shelves come in a wide array of colors, sizes, and configurations, so you’ll have no trouble matching or complimenting your décor, no matter what your individual style might be.
Why a cube shelf?
A cube shelf has several advantages over a traditional shelf. For one thing, the cube shelf is deeper, so it can accommodate larger items. For another thing, cube shelves are partially enclosed, which helps decrease the amount of dust on your what-nots. This enclosure also makes your keepsakes safer since they can’t be “knocked off” so easily. This is a real plus if you have rambunctious kids in your household.
Another great thing about cube shelves is their inherent visual appeal. With a traditional shelf, everything is on the same level. With a cube shelf, however, you have several different levels, so you can group items, if you choose.
Where to use a cube shelf
Cube shelving is extremely versatile, and you can use it practically anywhere. In the family room or living room, use cube shelves to display your favorite collectibles. In the kitchen, store spices and herbs in the cubicles.
Cube shelves work great in bathrooms, too. Roll up some pretty washcloths and place them in the shelves, or use the cubes to display fancy soaps. Another idea for bathroom cubes is to use them to store small toiletries for guests. The travel-size lotions and shampoos are a perfect fit for small cube shelves.
Place cube shelving in a child’s or teenager’s room to hold small toys, CDs, videos, jewelry, hair bows, photos, or that special autographed baseball.
For a more dramatic effect in any room, use a grouping of cube shelves.
What type of cube shelves are available?
Cube shelves come in all kinds of configurations, both symmetrical and asymmetrical. Choose three or four cubes side by side, three over three, or a more unique configuration.
One of the most popular types of cube shelf is the checkerboard pattern. A typical checkerboard cube shelf is three cubes wide and three cubes tall. Alternating cubes have backs, while every other cube is open at the back, creating a neat checkerboard look.
Cube shelves are usually constructed of wood, acrylic, or wire mesh, and they come in all sorts of colors. Some cube shelves are hung on the wall, some rest on a desk top, and other larger cube shelves rest on the floor. There are also cube shelf sets that you can add to.
How much do cube shelves cost?
Cube shelves are usually very inexpensive, depending on size and construction materials. Prices start at under $20 for small acrylic models.
