The Elfa system is a popular way to customize a closet or add wall-mounted shelving. Prices range from below $100 to several thousand dollars, depending on what you want. All Elfa shelving is currently 25% off. (Freestanding uprights can also be purchased if you don't want to drill into the wall.)

We see these acrylic wall-mounted shelves in a lot of bathrooms, although they also work in the kitchen (as a spice rack), bedroom (as a floating bedside table), or living room (as a small bookshelf). On sale for $10 and $11, marked down from $13 and $15.

Umbra's Conceal Shelf allows you to stack books on the wall, appearing as though they're floating. We love the way Emily and Craig used theirs in the bedroom. On sale for $10, marked down from $13.
