Cherry gallery ledges on twin-slot rails

Three 1.1m cherry picture ledges that hang on twin-slot rails painted out to the wall, so the gallery can be moved up, down or rearranged on a whim without a single new hole. Each ledge has a raised front lip and a deep back rail so frames, prints and plates lean safely in two layers.

More living room designs

• Birch room divider with fold-out desk A double-sided birch plywood room divider 1200mm wide and 400mm deep that splits a studio into living and working halves, with an ink-black desk box set into one column: its front folds down on brass stays to an 800mm-deep lino-topped desk at 740mm, lit inside by a warm strip. Shelves open to both sides, so the wall it replaces still lets the light through.
• Oak guitar wall with a top shelf A white oak wall rail that hangs three guitars by their headstocks on leather-lined yokes, with a lipped shelf above for the tuner, capo, picks and spare strings, so the instruments are out of the way but one reach from being played. It hangs on a French cleat, and the yoke arms are tenoned into the backboard rather than screwed.
• Limestone arched niche wall A living-room wall built out 280mm on plywood ribs and faced in limestone-coloured MDF, with three tall arched niches cut into it: each lined, fitted with two oak shelves on an oak sill and lit by a warm puck light let into the top of the arch, under a cove cornice. Display shelving that takes up no floor, with the depth of the build-out hiding the speaker and lighting cables.
