Kids Shelving Frequently Asked Questions

How to arrange your kids' books on shelves?

Using wall-mounted shelves as storage for your kids’ books is a great space-saving idea. You can arrange and display them by size, theme, or colour and use bookends to keep them upright and lamps to help your little ones see which book they want to read before bed. Just make sure the shelves are at a child-friendly height for easy access.

Are floating shelves safe for kids?

Floating shelves can be safe for children’s bedrooms if properly installed with strong wall anchors and brackets. Perphaps try and stack the books horizontally at either end of the shelf to create a stronger balance, or use bookends to keep them securely in place. Just make sure not to overloaded either end with heavy items that could fall off.

How do you childproof shelves?

Secure the shelves in your children’s bedroom or nursery to the wall using brackets to prevent tipping. For safety, you should also avoid placing heavy items at the top or breakable items near the bottom of a kids shelf or bookcase.

How tall should a shelf be in a kids' room?

Shelves in a kids' bedroom or nursery should be at a safe height from the floor and at a distance that your child can easily reach. This will depend on the type of shelf you're using whether that's a bookcase, wall-mounted or flooring shelves, or a cube unit.
