Guest Picks: Up the Wall

Limited floor area can drive you up the wall. Fortunately, there are so many terrific options these days for bookshelves and wall storage that move far beyond your normal styles. These products are only the tip of the iceberg in regards to pieces that are large on both form and function. — Heather and Vanessa from In the Picket Fence

Conceal Floating Bookshelf – $13.50

These “invisible” floating shelves turn your books into works of art on the wall. I believe even Jane Austen would approve of her tomes being displayed like this.

I just enjoy it when form meets function. These birdcage-style magazine racks do double purpose by turning a decorative element into something that’s also perfectly helpful.

Sleek and complex is the name of this game with this beautiful zinc shelf. It thankfully takes a back seat so as to let your decor glow.
