How to install floating shelf in Euro laundry?

Loulou22

I have one of those European laundries and I need space. I had a brilliant idea to put in a floating shelf and went off to Bunnings but now I am totally stuck. I want it to run the entire length of the wall (162cm) with a depth of around 25cm. None of the floating shelves I looked at were long enough. I really liked the look of the multi-use timber panel but was told it cannot be cut to size. Any suggestions would be very much appreciated.

Hello @Loulou22

I propose checking out your possible resources such as family, friends and relatives. Some of them may have the skill to cut the Saman multi-use panel. Your next avenue would be to hire a handy person on Airtasker or Hipages to cut panel for you at home. It's always better to do it at your place as the handy person can take accurate measurements of your wall and have the shelf fit perfectly.

I recommend using https://www.bunnings.com.au/carinya-205-x-85mm-black-heavy-duty-floating-shelf-bracket_p0923970 or similar in order to get that floating shelf look you are after. You could also possibly ask the handy person for a quote for the installation of the shelf. My best recommendation is to check their references and social media posts in order to see their past work.

One other option is to compromise and use a shorter shelf such as the https://www.bunnings.com.au/flexi-storage-decorative-shelving-1200-x-36-x-240mm-walnut-floating-shelf_p0993615 .
