Ladder Shelves FAQs

Are ladder shelves still in style?

Absolutely. Ladder shelves have become a timeless favourite thanks to their clean lines and natural charm. Their minimalist, open design fits effortlessly into both modern and traditional interiors. At Get Laid Beds, our wooden ladder shelves celebrate sustainable craftsmanship — offering a stylish, practical way to showcase your décor that never goes out of fashion.

Are ladder shelves good for small spaces?

Yes — they’re ideal. Ladder shelves take advantage of vertical space without overwhelming the room, making them perfect for apartments, home offices, and compact bedrooms. Their open frame design keeps things airy, giving you valuable storage without feeling cluttered. Pair one beside your bed or desk to add storage that looks effortlessly intentional.

Where to put ladder shelves?

Ladder shelving units are wonderfully versatile. They look just as at home in the living room displaying plants and candles, as they do in a bedroom holding books and keepsakes. Many customers also love using them in hallways or bathrooms for extra storage with a touch of style. Wherever you place them, a wooden ladder with shelves adds natural warmth and balance to your space.

What are the benefits of a ladder bookshelf?

A ladder bookshelf combines function, form, and flexibility. It offers generous storage while maintaining a light, uncluttered look — perfect for showcasing your favourite reads, artwork, or greenery. Ours are made from sustainably sourced solid wood, handcrafted to last for years to come, and available in a range of finishes to complement your bed frame and furniture.

How to display a ladder shelf?

Start by mixing heights and textures — stack books on one level, add a potted plant or framed photo on another. Keep the top shelves light and decorative, and use the lower ones for sturdier pieces. The key is balance: you want it to look thoughtfully styled but still lived-in. Match your shelf’s finish with your bed frame or floating shelves for a cohesive, curated look.

Are ladder shelves stable on carpet?

Yes — our solid wood ladder shelves are designed for stability on all types of flooring, including carpet. Each one has a carefully balanced frame that sits flush against the wall. For added peace of mind, you can secure it using the included wall fixings — especially recommended in busy spaces or homes with children or pets.
