Custom made 40 cm deep shelves from Pickawood UK

The custom work of Pickawood UK leads to the optimal use of space, which saves a lot of space in the room. Nevertheless, the 40 cm deep shelf will accommodate everything that belongs there.

40 cm deep shelves for supplies, books and accessories.

The 40 cm deep custom shelving would be a classic bookshelf, where you can usually find some accessories. But it can also hold supplies if it is placed in the kitchen or basement. It is ideal for, among other things:

  • Food including canned food and jam
  • Kitchen paper
  • Drinks
  • Empties
  • Used glass
  • Fruit & Vegetables
  • Decorative items
  • Toilet paper
  • and much more

Since these things vary in size and height, you need to plan the compartment layout well in your configuration. This will allow you to make the best use of the available space. Especially a somewhat smaller room will benefit from the comparatively small depth of the shelf of only 40 cm. Therefore, you can - for example, in the basement - equip almost all walls with such shelves, without making the room too narrow. For some things, of course, you need slightly deeper shelves, which you can also find at Pickawood UK. But especially next to doors and passages, the depth of 40 cm is really ideal. Even a beverage crate fits in there. There is another aspect in favor of this depth: if you build a shelf quite high and then it would be much deeper than 40 cm, sooner or later you would put items in the upper compartments, which you will inevitably forget afterwards, because they are simply not visible due to the depth. By the way, for very high shelves custom Pickawood UK offers you a ladder, which we would like to mention in this context. This would also be very useful if you build a high library in the living room with 40 cm deep custom shelves.

What dimensions (W x H) are suitable for the 40 cm deep shelf?

In principle, you can choose any width and height, but look what we have already pre-designed for you. These six examples are truly representative (depth always 40 cm):

  • narrow drawer shelf 30 x 93 cm (W x H)
  • drawer shelf made of real wood veneer 94 x 144 cm (w x h)
  • deep, custom-made shelf 110 x 149 cm (w x h)
  • narrow custom-made shelf 50 x 170 cm (w x h)
  • narrow shelf including folding doors 35 x 120 cm (w x h)
  • white shelf 104 x 149 cm (w x h)

These are just a few examples that you can use to get an idea.

What materials are particularly suitable for shelves 40 cm deep?

Feel free to take a look at our inexpensive and very beautiful real wood veneer, MDF boards and multiplex. These wood variants can also withstand considerable loads. In the case of solid woods, we recommend for shelves, among others, pine, oak, classic beech or charismatic beech heartwood, alder, birch, maple or ash. There are even more woods. If you want to load the shelf very heavily, we recommend oak or beech. These woods are really extremely stable. Of course, solid wood also has something to do with home design. Make your choice!

Where does the wood come from?

It comes from European, primarily even from German forests and in principle from sustainable forestry. Pickawood UK's business philosophy, like that of its associated joineries, is based on the careful use of resources and environmental protection.
