While she appreciated the functionality, the exposed wire shelving spoiled the look of her beloved kitchen. One day, she stumbled upon faux floating shelves and was inspired to give her wire shelves a makeover.
So, she decided she didn't have to live with unattractive wire shelves anymore. She set out to create her faux floating shelves and documented the entire process to share her success with all DIY enthusiasts.
First, measure the foam pipe insulation to fit each shelf's perimeter and cut with the scissors. She emphasizes that using foam pipe insulation that can easily slide onto the wire shelves is essential because it gives the illusion of hidden shelf support.
Grab your wood veneer and cut it to match your shelves' dimensions. Jenna recommends making it slightly larger if you want a nice overhang effect. Don't fret if you're inexperienced with cutting wood veneer; it's user-friendly and almost effortless!
Use your trusty hot glue gun to apply a generous amount of glue to the foam pipe insulation's edge. Attach the wood veneer to the foam pipe insulation.
Wait for the glue to cool and set. Once firm, you can gently slide your new faux floating shelves onto your wire shelving system.
This wire shelf makeover is perfect for any room in your house. You can experiment with various colors or textures of wood veneer to personalize the shelves, making them uniquely yours. Your guests will marvel at your handiwork and possibly not even realize your chic floating shelves were once wire eyesores!
