Before you buy your wall mount shelf It's a good idea to really consider what you plan to use it for and where you plan to put it.

Once you have those to things figured out you'll want to consider maybe getting more than one wall shelf. That way you will not only have more usable space but having more than one shelf exponentially creates more decorative design opportunity.

The next thing you need to do is to consider what your options are. I've created a small list of some of the most popular types of wall mount shelves for you to consider.

1. Classic Wall Shelf
Classic wall shelves are the most widely used type of wall mount shelf. This is probably because they are the most simple and offer a good amount of usable space.

2. Corner Shelf
Corner shelves are a hidden secret in the wall mount shelving world. because corner account for most of the unused space in your home corner shelves may just be the ticket for you to get that much needed extra space in your home.

3. 2 Tier Wall Shelf
A 2 tier wall shelf is much the same as a classic wall shelf except that it has much larger brackets (usually more decorative) that support two shelf tops instead of one. This kind of shelf not only looks great but also is very practical because you only have to mount one shelf but you get twice as much usable space.

4. Ledge Shelf
Ledge shelves are quickly rising in the ranks of the wall shelf world. and although they cant hold as much wieght as a classic wall shelf or corner shelf they work great as display shelves and look amazing when they are mounted in a decorative fashion with other ledge shelves.
