How to Combine Paint and Shelving for Maximum Impact

Do you have collectibles, photos or other favorite items that you’d like to showcase? Learn how to combine paint and shelving for maximum impact and create a display wall in this Ace Hardware video:

1. Choose a wall large enough to showcase your items.

2. Cut boards to suit the length of the space.

3. Use shelving brackets or pipes that can withstand the board weight.

4. Set the width of the shelves to fit the tallest item. This will add a little bit of space and help your paint color come through

5. For the space between the shelves, choose different but similar colors to get an ombre effect. Alternatively, you can paint the shelves to add an unexpected pop of color in a neutral space.

6. When arranging items on the shelves, make sure the objects vary in height for a larger visual impact. Whether you choose to display a tall unique piece of art or a sleek contemporary vase, add something that draws your eye upward.

With unique hardware and combination of colors, and a personal touch, you can create a masterpiece that you and your family can enjoy.
