  • Has anyone any pointers about alcove shelving of the floating kind? I was going to order some custom made one from Etsy and install them myself, but the distance between the wall is not uniform (old house). How much of a tolerance can I get away with?

    Or are there any other options? Getting someone to do would be nice but I have been quoted for £1 k for three shelves on either side!

    Thanks for your help

  • You can get the effect of floating shelves by putting in standard shelves on battens and adding a very thin board (6mm MDF) underneath the batten and a bit of tirm on the front to cover the gap. Be prepared for lots of scribing and recutting if your alcoves aren't regular though.
