Just think of the superior organization you could maintain if you chose to install storage shelves at home. No more would items be strewn about the room, rather, they would be tucked neatly away on these newly-installed space savers.

Regardless of what type of shelves you are looking to install, the process pretty much remains the same. You will need a few simple tools, a little bit of your time, and some patience. The following steps and tips can help make it easier to setup shelves and utilize the space you do have in your home.

• Gather your tools: You will need a stud finder, a level, and the style of shelves of your choosing. Gather all of your tools together before you begin work so that you are not running around looking for supplies while trying to balance shelves against the wall.

• Find a stud: Use the stud finder to locate the studs in the wall so that your shelves are secure. Once you locate the studs, mark them so you do not lose track of them.

• Choose the height and install brackets: You will then need to choose the height of your shelves. Keep in mind, you do not want them too high where you will constantly have to reach to retrieve items. However, installing shelves too low to the ground could require you to bend down every time you need something. Children could also get at these shelves and make a mess out of their contents. Install the brackets in this location. When installing the brackets, make sure to use a level so that your shelves do not come out uneven.

• Put up your shelves: Center the shelves on the brackets. Secure the brackets completely to prevent them from falling off of the wall.
