15 Best Office Shelves Ideas

NUMENN 5 Tier Bookshelf

Best Vertical Shelf

Vertical shelves can be a great option if you need a lot of storage space and don’t have a lot of room for multiple office shelves and cabinets. We like that this stylish and straightforward bookcase has a small footprint but plenty of shelves to hold your items.


Love-KANKEI Floating Shelves Wall Mounted Set

Best Floating

We love floating shelves, especially as a small office shelving idea. Installing some wall-mounted office shelves for the office will provide a classy and dignified space to display photographs, awards, and decor items.


IRONCK Bookcase and Bookshelf

Best Open Shelving

Open shelving (a shelf with no back) can keep a space light and airy, preventing a heavy or claustrophobic feeling. Open shelving can also be used as a nifty room divider, especially with a visually interesting shelf design like this one.


Best for an Industrial Aesthetic

We love the metal bracing on this shelf for a relaxed, industrial vibe. An industrial aesthetic can give your office artistic energy grounded in more serious materials like dark metals and woods.


Walker Edison 2

Best Low Shelf

A shorter shelf is a great choice if you have low ceilings in your office or want the shelf to double as a small table or TV console. This design comes in various colors, making it a convenient option for matching with existing office furniture. 


BAMFOX Floating Shelves

Best Minimalist Shelves

We’ve already sung the praises of floating shelves, but these sleek floating wall shelves are one of our favorite home office wall shelving ideas. The lack of clunky hardware makes these shelves blend into the wall for a relaxing and uncluttered design. 


VASAGLE ALINRU Ladder Shelf

Best Ladder Shelf

Another fun design for an office shelf is a ladder style. Mimicking the silhouette of a ladder leaning against a wall, this ladder shelf has a warm, homey appearance and provides ample storage space. 


Furinno Turn-N-Tube Display Rack

Best Understated Shelf

Sometimes you just need a place to keep some books and files without getting a distracting piece of furniture. This classic, streamlined shelf design is an excellent option if you want to keep your office neat and understated.


Best Mesh Fence Design

Hello again, floating shelves. To save space and keep your home organized and spotless, the detachable rustic wall shelf may be utilized with flexibility in the bathroom, kitchen, bedroom, and living area.


EACHPAI Corner Floating Shelves

Best Corner Floating Design

It can be challenging to use corner space, so investing in some corner shelving can be life-changing. We like these floating corner shelves, which provide a good amount of storage space while leaving room for a chair or other furniture on the floor below.


YGEOMER Floating Shelves

Best Modular Design

It’s always a good idea to buy a product that gives you options. We love that these float shelves can be mounted with either side facing up, giving you two different possible shelving styles.


Gracious Living Shelf

Best Monochromatic Shelf

Depending on the style of your office, you may benefit from having a shelf that is all one color, rather than the popular wood with metal contrast style. We feel partial to this sturdy shelf that comes in both black and white. 


Giftgarden 47 Inch Long Floating Shelves

Best for Displaying Photos

These little floating ledges look distinguished and are perfect for displaying favorite photos, awards, and important trinkets. These are sure to impress anyone who visits your office!


Greenco 5 Tier Floating Shelves

Best Artistic Design

Whether you’re an artist professionally or just an artist at heart, you deserve an office space that reflects your creative personality. We like this funky asymmetrical corner shelf that shows you make intentional choices with your office shelf design. 


AMADA HOMEFURNISHING White Floating Shelve

Best Modern Office Shelves

We love that these floating shelves are practically invisible. This modern look will elevate your space to give it an updated and stylish energy.
