Flat board and 2 x brackets Screws and fixings

https://www.hometalk.com/search/posts?filter=shelf

I like floating shelves because there are no obstructions on the shelf below from brackets. I also like a shelf that has a bit of a lip to it so smaller objects would roll off. Tools would be a tape measure, screwdriver ( make sure it has the correct tip for the screws you will be using and a level. I don't hang anything is a straight line neither vertical nor horizontal so I never worry is everything is perfectly in line. Let me know if you have any other questions and goo luck with your project I would love to see a picture when your finished!

I looked some photos of shelves, and I do like the clean line of hanging shelve. I am going to see which brand is easiest to install. Thank you!

is this the kind of shelving you are interested in or do you not have an opening you are looking to fill https://www.charlestoncrafted.com/2016/09/19/turn-old-medicine-cabinet-open-shelving/
