Etageres For Space and Style

!: Etageres For Space and Style

An etagere is a wonderful way to add Storage to your home decor. Very much like the English what-not, it is a succession of shelves which can not only be used to store, but also to display your collectibles or anything special or decorative you wish to be seen.

Turn an unused space in your kitchen into an area where you can display your pottery dishes, collection of glasses or your assortment of baskets. Display and use those wedding dishes that have been hidden in a cupboard. Not only will they make a decorative statement but they will also be within reach.

Or maybe you need some shelving in a bathroom. There are thinner and smaller etageres that fit into a corner so even the smallest bathroom can house one. Display pretty toiletries, body lotions and tissues on one shelf, colorful towels on another one and rolls of toilet paper on the bottom shelve. Etageres come in many colors so there will be one out there to match your decor.

An etagere would also be a great addition to a child's room. One with wide shelves could hold bins filled with all those little toys that tend to be strewn all over the floor. Things like building blocks and doll clothes would now have a home. Think of an etagere in a bold color like red or hot pink to accent the childs room. Or purchase one in unfinished wood that you can customize with paint yourself in whatever design and color you and your child wish.

Etageres are as diverse as the people who buy them. You have a choice of wood, metal, iron, wicker or a mix of these. There are etageres in natural wood colors, pale colors or bold colors. Consider how many shelves you would like. Etageres can have two shelves, eight shelves or anything in between. Some have drawers and some have hooks. Shelves can be solid or not, they can be plain or scrolled, thin or wide, short or tall, rectangular, square or rounded. They can have shelves that are the same size or come with shelves in ascending order. Corner etageres are just as diverse with a different amount of shelving, drawers if you want them, hooks (for your towels or mugs?) and colors to match any decor.

However you use your etagere, and depending on the kind you buy, you can not only use it as a space saver but also as a decorative piece of furniture. The hardest thing to decide will be which one to buy.
