This home organization inspiration is all about getting furniture and storage off the floor. Using floating furniture (a.k.a. wall-mounted) saves precious real estate while providing much needed organization in tight spaces, left-over wall space and awkward corners. Floating furniture has gone way beyond the common ledges and shelves. Now, you find floating desks, cabinets, tables, baskets, books and even mini floating wine racks (photo 3).
Floating Cabinet, Credenza or Buffet: (Photo 1)
A combination of drawers and cabinets work great in the living room, dining room or even as a small dresser in a bedroom. It can be used to store belongings, serve food or drinks, and display accessories.
Floating Baskets: (Photo 2)
This is a lovely way of storing light weight items, adding warmth and texture while providing storage.
Floating Wine Rack: (Photo 3)
This is one of the smallest wine rack designs, great for small spaces. Little as it is, it still hangs glasses and stores wine. If this is too lean for you, it's easy to find floating wine racks that are three glasses deep. (This one is one glass deep).
Floating Entryway Table: (Photo 4)
This is the best solution for anyone with a small or narrow entryway. It may be lean, but it'll hold many of the things you need from an entryway table like keys, mail, gadgets, and bags or wallets. Add even more function by getting one with a drawer to hide clutter.
Floating Books: (Photo 5)
Perfect for the bibliophile, this is a beautiful way to display and store your latest reads. It keeps your most recent books handy, and you can even stack an accessory on top like a statuette, figurine, vase or picture frame.

I loooove the floating credenza in pic 1.
No furniture legs coated in dog hair, yay!
Does anyone know who makes that credenza?
I am also interested in the credenza, source please....
Having my tv mounted on the wall and the wires threaded behind to the wall and into the closet where the dvd player, cable box, and wii fii router hides allows me to remove the media console from the living room. Instant extra square footage and floor space.
Next on the to-do list, get room divider off the floor and hung from the ceiling.
Very cruel to post pretty pictures with no information.
I concur this post is remiss in not including links to where those photos were sourced and/or info on how these types of items are mounted. The credenza is sleek and beautiful.
Click the image credit to get more info on the credenza (auf Deutsch, however)
Could you please post some info? I would really like to check out that floating wine rack.
click on the link of the image credits, on the german site, there's a link to resellers.

The name of the product line is e15: German modern design, traditional craftsmanship
@Jarsicah I just threw the search in Google for a Floating Wine Rack and this exact one is out of stock on Amazon.com, but looks like it was $50. You can find it here: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/asin/B000NIGYLS/miregreesfren-20
