Thanks!

Your most simple option would be to have shelving cut to the width of the opening times 3 pieces. Purchase shelf supports that go underneath the wood. Measure out the spacing you want and use a level to mark the 3 lines. Install the shelf supports, place the shelving on top and screw them in from the underside. Voila! 😎
Here's how I did mine - just inexpensive L brackets and a piece of wood. But they do look like they're floating :) https://www.hometalk.com/diy/living-room/furniture/easy-barn-wood-book-shelves-15589037

I built these from 2x12’s, sanded/stained & polyurethaned them.
The brackets are screwed into the studs. You can paint the brackets before you install them.
Home Depot will cut down the lumber into shelves for free.
If you like the "Industrial Look", we built shelves like these from materials from Home Depot. Plumbing pipe and fittings that we cleaned and spray painted black and wood board shelves that we stained and sealed. So easy and it looks great.
Hi Lisa, here is a fairly easy one to make, and you can paint it any color you love!

Hi Lisa, you might also consider building some floating shelves unique to that particular area. Here's info from a pro:

The simplest way is to purchase some pretty shelf brackets, attach to the wall, and then affix a piece of wood to the brackets.
Find shelf brackets you really like and then buy a piece of wood to fill the space. Have the wood cut at the home improvement store. Install. Great beginner project! :)
