Victorian terraces, Edwardian semis and Georgian townhouses all have strong horizontal lines in their skirting, picture rails and cornicing, and shelving looks most settled when it relates to those lines rather than simply filling a wall. In this guide we look at why oak suits older homes so naturally, how to pick a finish that sits comfortably beside original floorboards and painted joinery, and when a mix of open shelves and closed cupboards works better than a fully open design. We also cover placement ideas for chimney breast alcoves, bay windows and through lounges, along with the practical checks that matter in older houses: uneven floors, fragile lath and plaster walls, narrow staircases and changes in humidity. Read on for calm, practical advice on choosing oak shelving that genuinely belongs in a period home."}
