My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Shelving Dimensions

10 years ago
Hello, Thank you for sharing your design. I have a very similar space in my house for shelving. It looks like you said that these shelves are 2" thick. Would you mind sharing the spacing between the shelves? It looks like they might be 15" at the bottom and 12" at the top? Also, do you think that this type of shelving (when used for books) would look good with a center divider to break up the long line of books? Thank you

    The spacing is about 15" at the bottom and 9" or 10" at the top. The rule of thumb is anything over 4ft wide will require a divider unless the shelves are very thick and reinforced from behind. Cheers.

    Where can I buy the tiles? or something similar?

    I suggest you do a search for “terracotta tile.” These tiles were sourced from Spain
