Installing a floating shower shelf is a great way to add extra storage and organization to your bathroom. Not only does it look modern, but it also adds more space for all of your bathroom accessories. Here’s how you can install your own floating shelf in just a few steps.


Step 1 – Measure the Space


The first step is to measure the area where you want the shelf to go. This will help you determine what size shelf you need and make sure that it fits perfectly in the space you have. Be sure to measure twice before purchasing your shelf!

Step 2 – Attach The Brackets


Once you have your floating shelf, next comes attaching the brackets that will hold up the shelf. Most shelves come with two brackets, so make sure you attach both of them securely into studs or use heavy-duty wall anchors if no studs are available.

Step 3 – Place The Shelf on The Brackets


Once you have attached the brackets, place the shelf on top of them and check if everything lines up properly. If everything looks good, use screws or bolts (based on what is provided with your purchase) to secure the brackets onto the shelf itself. Once this is done, your floating shelf should be ready for use!

Step 4 – Add Decorations  (Optional)


The last step is optional but highly recommended - adding decorations to complete the look of your floating shower shelf! You can add candles, plants, or even decorations like pebbles and stones around it for an earthy touch. Whatever décor pieces you decide to go with, make sure they won't easily tip over if someone bumps into them while taking a shower!
