The best floating shelves for utility rooms are moisture resistant, securely fixed and deep enough to hold detergent bottles and folded laundry without crowding the space above your machines.

We explain how to fix floating shelves safely into brick, block, plasterboard and tiled walls. You will find advice on the right depth and length for your shelves, sensible heights above a washing machine and how to keep shelves clear of dryer vents and boilers. We also cover organising supplies by how often you use them, storing chemicals safely and keeping shelves in good condition through regular ventilation and checks....
