​How to Install Custom Wood Wall Shelves

Real wood has a way of transforming any space. In fact, just one wooden feature can completely change the look and feel of a room. It’s not just about style—it’s about creating a warm, inviting atmosphere that feels authentic and timeless.

Another great benefit of a wooden shelf is its versatility. It’s both practical and stylish, helping you organize your space while adding character. So, when you install one, you’re not just improving your decor—you’re also making your life a little more organized and efficient.

But if this is your first time installing shelves, it might feel a bit overwhelming. That’s why we’ve created this easy-to-follow guide to help you install your wooden wall shelves with confidence. We’ve helped countless customers before, and we know—while it might seem tricky at first, it’s actually quite simple once you get started. Just take it step by step, and you’ll be done in no time.

So grab your tools, take a deep breath, and let’s get started. You’ve got this!

Secure the Bracket to the Wall with the Screws Provided

The stability of your shelf starts with the brackets. Once you’ve chosen the perfect spot for your shelves, follow these steps to make sure they’re safely mounted:

  1. Unwrap each shelf and carefully remove the hidden bracket. Make sure each bracket stays with its corresponding shelf—this is important for proper installation.
  2. Use a stud finder to locate the wall studs. If you're mounting on drywall, always try to screw into a stud for maximum support. If there are no studs available, use heavy-duty wall anchors to keep your shelves secure.
  3. Mark the positions of the brackets on the wall with a pencil. Hold each bracket against the wall and use a level to ensure it's perfectly horizontal.
  4. Attach the brackets to the wall using the screws provided. Make sure the "teeth" on the bracket are facing upward toward the ceiling for optimal grip.

Slide the Shelf onto the Bracket

Now it’s time to place the shelf onto the brackets. Slide it in a smooth motion, fitting the bracket into the pre-drilled holes on the back of the shelf. Be sure the shelf is level and sits securely on the supports. If the shelf is heavy or long, having an extra pair of hands will make this part much easier.

Screw the Small Set Screws into the Holes in the Bottom of the Shelf

This step is crucial for keeping your shelf firmly in place. The set screws go into the bottom of the shelf and lock it against the brackets. This prevents the shelf from shifting or falling over time.

Here’s how to do it:

  1. Find the set screw holes on the bottom of the shelf. These should line up with the holes on the brackets.
  2. Insert the set screws and tighten them gently until the shelf is snug against the brackets. Avoid over-tightening, as this could damage the wood or the brackets.

Set Up Your Shelf Display

Now comes the fun part—decorating! Go through your collection of books, photos, trinkets, and plants. This is your chance to personalize your space and make it uniquely yours. Whether you want to display family heirlooms, artwork, or greenery, the possibilities are endless.

When arranging items, keep weight distribution in mind. Heavier objects should be placed closer to the brackets to avoid sagging or bending. Lighter items can be placed toward the ends for balance and visual appeal.
