Boho Macrame Wall Shelf | Two Tier Hanging Storage Rack In Natural Timber And Woven Cotton Rope

A hanging shelf takes its load through rope rather than through brackets, which changes where it can go. There is no bracket to drill into a stud and no rigid frame to keep level, so it hangs from a single fixing and settles itself, which makes it the shelf for a rented flat, a plasterboard wall, or anywhere you would rather not drill more than once.

Macrame is doing the structural work as well as the decorative. Handwoven cotton rope carries the two timber tiers and finishes below them in a knotted fringe, so what holds the shelf up is also the thing you look at. That is unusual in storage, where the support is normally the part you spend money trying to hide.

Buy it now for plants, candles, books or small pieces you want on show rather than put away. It measures seventy five by thirty five by ten centimetres across two tiers and is light enough to hang easily on its own, though the fixing behind it must still carry whatever you decide to load onto the shelves. Keep the rope dry rather than damp, dust it rather than washing it, and check the fixing occasionally once it is carrying weight.
