‍In a dressing room, a sliding shelf is a practical and ergonomic storage solution:

Within a dressing room, a sliding shelf has several advantages. Firstly, unlike a shelf, the sliding shelf can be fully extended. This means you can grab your items much more easily. What's more, it allows you to use the full depth of your furniture and therefore make better use of the space while still being easy to access.

For some of your clothes and accessories, the sliding shelf can prove to be the most efficient layout. For example, if you decide to make a shoe storage unit, it's best to opt for the sliding shelf, which will allow you to store and access them quickly without needing a lot of height space. The same goes for accessories like sunglasses and jewellery. The sliding shelf will allow you to store them in depth while still being able to reach them easily. It is therefore a totally ergonomic and functional internal storage unit, ideal for a dressing room.

This type of arrangement means you don't have to take up floor space in your bedroom and you can move around easily. Thisdiscreet sliding bedside table makes it very easy to save space.

How the sliding shelf makes your living room more comfortable: 

On a TV cabinet, the sliding shelf lets you store: internet box, DVD player, games console, remote controls... In a totally functional way. Firstly, you'll be able to access your devices easily without pulling the wires or having to remove them completely, as is the case with a fixed shelf. With the sliding shelf, all you have to do is pull it out to gain access to all its contents as well as the back of your devices where the stop and start buttons are usually located. We also recommend adding front and rear anti-drop edges to make the arrangement of your appliances completely safe.
