Solid oak wall shelves are very versatile. They are used, for example, as oak wall shelf in a kitchen or living room, as oak bookshelf or as wall shelf with blind attachment in a niche. Looking for a specific size? All wall shelves are made to measure in our own workshop, including extra long wall shelves up to 350 cm.
There are several reasons to choose a wall shelf made of oak:
Is your interior rustic or do you have a modern, industrial interior? We offer a suitable wall shelf for every interior. For example, you can choose from various finishes such as a rustic wall shelf, an industrial black wall shelf, a wall shelf made of old oak or wagon parts, a rustic wall shelf finished in vintage white or black and various other finishes.
A shelf support or mounting system is required to hang a wall shelf. We therefore offer various mounting systems such as leather shelf supports, steel brackets, industrial steel swivel clamps or blind mounting system.
| Mounting system | Characteristics |
|---|---|
| Blind mounting system | Invisible suspension system, floating effect. Load-bearing capacity of up to 30 kg per wall bracket. Also suitable for mounting in a niche. |
| Leather shelf supports | Trendy look, available in brown or black. Includes wall screws, plugs and stainless steel finishing caps. |
| Swivel clamps | Small or large, perfect for a modern industrial interior. Easy to attach. |
| Steel brackets | Single or double, very stable mounting. With double steel brackets, two wall shelves can be fastened on top of each other. |
A wall shelf with blind mounting system is also called a floating wall shelf. These wall shelves can for example also be mounted in a niche. The load-bearing pins of this mounting system have a maximum load-bearing capacity of 30 kg per wall bracket. With this system, the suspension system is not visible.
Blind mounting is also the ideal solution for fitting a shelf in a niche, for example next to a fireplace or in a closet space. Because no side brackets are needed, the shelf can be fitted snugly between two walls.
Leather shelf supports are a trend. The shelf rests in two loops of sturdy leather that are screwed to the wall, creating a warm and playful look. You can opt for a brown or black leather plank carrier. The leather shelf supports are also supplied with wall screws, plugs and stainless steel finishing caps, so you can get started right away.
Small and large swivel clamps are not out of place in a modern industrial interior. A swivel clamp is a steel clamp that grips around the shelf and is screwed to the wall. The wall shelf is easy to attach by turning the swivel clamps, without having to drill into the shelf itself. This also means the shelf can easily be moved or replaced later.
With single or double steel brackets you can fix your wall shelf very stable. The brackets come in different versions: an open wall bracket, a closed wall bracket and an upright version that keeps objects from falling off the shelf. With double steel brackets, two wall shelves can be fastened on top of each other, ideal in the kitchen or study. We can also provide wall shelves with a suspension system.

All wall shelves are made to measure in our own workshop, in the width and depth you want.
You hang an oak wall shelf as a floating shelf using a blind mounting system. You drill holes in the wall and in the back of the shelf, then slide the shelf over the load-bearing pins. The suspension system is then completely invisible.
A wall shelf with blind mounting is a shelf where the suspension system is completely invisible. You hang the shelf invisibly by sliding it over load-bearing pins drilled into the wall. The shelf appears to float on the wall, without visible brackets, supports or screws. We call this the blind mounting system, and all our oak wall shelves are available with it. Blind mounting is also the best choice for fitting a shelf in a niche, as the shelf can be placed snugly between two walls.
The load-bearing pins of our blind mounting system have a maximum load-bearing capacity of 30 kg per wall bracket. A shelf with several brackets can therefore hold quite a lot of weight, more than enough for books, tableware or decoration. The actual load-bearing capacity also depends on the type of wall and the plugs used.
Yes, all oak wall shelves are made to measure in our own workshop. You specify the desired width and depth when ordering, for example a shelf of 180 cm or 200 cm wide, or an extra deep shelf of 40 cm deep. That way, the shelf always fits perfectly in your niche, kitchen or living room.
Our extra long oak wall shelves are available up to an impressive 350 cm. Shelves of 2 or 3 metres are also made from a single solid piece of oak, without lengthwise glue joints. Ideal for a long wall in the living room or above a kitchen worktop.
Yes, an oak shelf in the kitchen is one of the most popular uses. Above the worktop, an oak wall shelf is practical for spices, tableware and kitchen utensils, and the warm wood grain instantly gives the kitchen character. Do treat the shelf in the kitchen with oil or lacquer, so that grease and moisture cannot affect it.
Treatment is not required, but it is recommended. A treatment with oil or lacquer protects the oak against stains and moisture and keeps the warm look beautiful for longer. Untreated oak can be stained, oiled or lacquered yourself in the colour that suits your interior. In the kitchen or bathroom, we always recommend a protective finish.
Yes, in addition to natural oak, we also supply an oak wall shelf in vintage white and an oak wall shelf in black. These finishes are applied to old oak, keeping the wood grain visible. This way, you combine a modern colour with the characteristic look of solid oak.
Planed oak has a smooth, sleek surface, while sanded oak retains a slightly rougher, more robust character. Planed suits a modern interior, while sanded works well in an industrial or rural interior.
