Suspended Shelves

A basic wire shelf is the best solution ever. If you need a functional piece without much fuss or complicate design, this is it. One or two shelves or a whole vertical unit will give you as much storage space as you need and they are easy to install: no drilling is required, which makes them great for renters. The only drawback is that wire or metal can rust, so keep it in mind. If we take wooden suspended shelves, they may look very nice and spa-like but won’t last long enough. Consider mirror and glass shelves, they are water-resistant.
