There are two kinds of ladder shelves: leaning and stand-alone. Leaning shelves rely on an external back support to be upright, such as being mounted against a wall.\u00a0Stand-alone ladder shelves do exactly that &#8212; they can stand on their own. Some are uniform throughout, and with others the largest shelves are on the bottom and narrow with each step. This can help you prioritize your accents visually heaviest to lightest.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_16915\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-16915\" style=\"width: 480px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" class=\"size-full wp-image-16915\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/homethang.com\/blogimages\/2019\/01\/ladder-shelf-2.jpg\" width=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/homethangs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/ladder-shelf-2.jpg 480w, https:\/\/homethangs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/ladder-shelf-2-400x250.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-16915\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Brilliant Carpina Ladder Shelf With 5- Floating Shelves In White, 20AMC6 by Manhattan Comfort<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Just like with traditional shelves, you can stack several ladder shelves together to make any size bookcase you want. This creates a unified look in your room of choice, and keeps a larger collection together across multiple shelves. A compatible desk compartment seamlessly fits among the shelves if you&#8217;re also craving a work space that matches your decor exactly, or just need an extra table at times.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_16916\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-16916\" style=\"width: 480px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" class=\"size-full wp-image-16916\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/homethang.com\/blogimages\/2019\/01\/ladder-shelf-3.jpg\" width=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/homethangs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/ladder-shelf-3.jpg 480w, https:\/\/homethangs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/ladder-shelf-3-400x250.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-16916\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Salvador Ladder Bookcase With 2 Display Shelves And 1 Cubby In White And Dark Oak, 132AMC143 by Manhattan Comfort<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>You get an open, breezy feeling with ladder shelves like you would with floating shelves, but with more anchorage to the ground. This can help show off your flooring or accent <a href=\"https:\/\/homethangs.com\/rugs-902.html\">rugs<\/a> instead of taking away from them.

Of course if you&#8217;re feeling crafty, you can create this look yourself with any out-of-commission ladders you may have, or build from scratch with slanted boards.\u00a0But be aware that looks can be deceiving, and make sure to know for sure how much weight you&#8217;re allowed to put on your shelves. Unlike actual ladders (even if made from one), ladder shelves are not meant to be climbed or stood on and should be treated gently as you would any other bookcase.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_16953\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-16953\" style=\"width: 358px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16953 size-full\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/homethang.com\/blogimages\/2019\/01\/ladder-shelf-5.jpg\" width=\"358\" srcset=\"https:\/\/homethangs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/ladder-shelf-5.jpg 358w, https:\/\/homethangs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/ladder-shelf-5-298x400.jpg 298w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 358px) 100vw, 358px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-16953\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">While you think of shelving as most important for an office or library, just about any room can benefit from ladder shelves as decor (by Horton &#038; Co.

From a secondary pantry in the kitchen to a beginner bookcase for a nursery to a towel rack in the <a href=\"https:\/\/homethangs.com\/bathroom-320.html\">bathroom<\/a>, these versatile bookcases feel more natural than traditional ones while providing extra storage for your home.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re strictly seeking a bookcase that will hold as many books as possible, you may find that sticking to the classics will get you the most bang for your buck.
