What is a half shelf? 

The half shelf is a practical and versatile element that can be added to your bespoke furniture to increase its storage space. It can be used in different ways depending on individual needs and preferences. It's actually a shelf with a customised width: unlike conventional shelves, which automatically take up the full width of the column. 

How to customise the half-shelf on our configurator? 

The half-shelf is an interior fittingon your furniture. You can therefore find it, as with a shelf or drawer, in the "interior fittings" tab of our 3D configurator. Then place it wherever you like in your customised furniture. You can change the colour of each component and its dimensions directly within its parameters. 

The height and width of this shelf are adjustable and you can choose its position: left or right.

You can also choose the length of the overhang at the end to create asymmetry. This is automatically set to 0 to form a single cube.

Finally, its width and height can be modified directly on the 2D configurator, allowing you to customise it in just 2 clicks.

The benefits of the half shelf 

This new interior design allows you to take the configuration of our bespoke furniture even further and achieve unique, unstructured projects. Half shelves allow you to arrange the interior of your furniture with even more freedom, without being forced to use the full width of your column. 

Customise your bookcase with a half shelf

In a bespoke bookcase, for example, a half shelf can be used tostore books of different sizes and shapes. It allows you to make the most of the available space and store books in an organised and easily accessible way. If you have a large collection of books and you're running out of space on traditional shelves, a half-shelf can be an ideal solution for adding extra storage space overhead, so you can store different types of books.

Multiply your dressing room storage with the half-shelf

In a modular wardrobe, a half-shelf can be used to store clothes, shoes or accessories. It can be placed on the bottom or the centre of the wardrobe, depending on the space available and your storage needs. It can be particularly useful for storing accessories that are a special size (such as glasses or shoe boxes).

The half shelf to showcase decoration 

In a bespoke wall shelf, a half shelf can be used to store decorative items or small items that would otherwise be difficult to store in an organised way. It can be placed above another shelf, behind one of your doors to store fragile items or in an open niche to display your decor, depending on the space available and storage needs. It can be particularly useful for storing fragile or small items that are difficult to handle and store.

In summary, a half-shelf can be a practical and versatile solution for increasing the storage space of a piece of furniture. It can be used in a bookcase, wardrobe or shelf to store books, clothes, shoes, accessories or decorative items. It can be placed above another shelf, or be asymmetrical or cubic, depending on the space available and storage needs.
