The shelf all but disappears. The idea is shown here over a doorway, where the shelf could appear cumbersome and awkward. The matching shelf and walls, however, reduce the shelf's appearance, helping it "disappear".

interesting.....nice idea.
Wait! Where's the person who ususaly shows up to say, "Ugh. Horrid. I would never do that in a million years. Puh-leeze."?

i'll be that person. :)
wouldn't putting stuff on the shelf draw your eye towards it anyway, making the "invisible shelf" all of a sudden a "focal shelf"? Especially if its in an unexpected location, like above a doorframe???
