How to mount TIPTOE wall shelves?
Shelves are essential in any house or apartment. As well as adding character to your interior, they let you keep your favourite objects within easy reach or view, while increasing your storage space.
You still need to know how to mount a TIPTOE wall shelf to enjoy it! While these brackets may surprise you at first glance, you’ll see that installing your TIPTOE shelf yourself is child’s play!
Prepare the area properly for your wall shelf
Before mounting your wall shelf, take the time to map things out. Don’t hesitate to try a few positions before choosing the best spot for your shelf. Once you’ve found the right place, use your tape measure and pencil to draw small crosses where you will position your wall brackets.
Your spirit level will be invaluable. It would be a shame to mount a shelf crooked and not be able to place anything on it!
Use your drill to make small holes with a diameter suited to those of the BRACKET wall bracket. This is where your brackets will go. Be proud of yourself—you’re almost there!
Mount your wall shelf
You dreamed of it, TIPTOE made it happen! The brand proves that fixing a shelf without brackets and without hassle is possible!
Please note that screws and wall plugs are not supplied. This allows you to choose them according to your wall type: Molly plugs for plasterboard walls, Fischer plugs for concrete and stone, etc. All shelves can be mounted on any type of wall. Equipment needed:
- Your board;
- Your BRACKET brackets;
- A pencil;
- A drill;
- Screws;
- Wall plugs.
- Place your bracket against the wall and mark the position of the three holes with a pencil;
- Using a spirit level, make sure you position your brackets on the same horizontal line.
Please note: just because your shelf is parallel to the floor doesn’t mean it’s straight! If your floor is slightly sloped, your shelf may end up crooked. A spirit level is therefore essential; - Drill where the marks are and insert the wall plugs, then the brackets;
- Place your board in the brackets, then hand-tighten;
- Then tighten with the Allen key.
Now take three or four steps back and admire your work. You now know how to attach a shelf to the wall. Admit it—it was easier than you expected!
TIPTOE wall shelves
Create your wall-mounted bookcase and increase your storage space
Bookcases are often bulky. If you want a lighter look in your décor, or if you don’t have room for an imposing piece of furniture, bookcases and TIPTOE shelf trios are the ideal (and responsible!) alternative.
The BRACKET wall mount lets you easily install a custom-made shelf. This discreet shelf bracket ensures optimal support for your board on the wall.
By placing these shelves against the wall, spaced more or less closely together, you’ll create a beautiful layered effect that brings energy to your room. You gain more storage without overcrowding your space. These new-generation bookcases do more than hold your books: they become true decorative pieces.
Follow the same steps as for making a wooden storage shelf, remembering to measure the spacing between each board.
