Bologna, Dresden or Venice: Choosing a Metal Wall Shelf
Bologna, Dresden and Venice are aluminium wall shelves designed and manufactured in the UK, with matte powder-coated finishes in Black or Stone. The right choice starts with the available wall space and what you want to display.
Bologna: four lengths to choose from
The Bologna wall shelf comes in 30, 50, 75 and 100 cm lengths. Both Black and Stone are available in each length. Start with the width of the wall area, then check that the objects you want to display will fit without overhanging the shelf.
Dresden: the same choice of lengths and finishes
The Dresden wall shelf also comes in 30, 50, 75 and 100 cm lengths, in Black or Stone. Compare the product photographs with Bologna to choose the profile you prefer. Matching length and finish options do not establish equal depth, fixing requirements or load capacity; confirm those details for the specific design.
Venice: a curved profile
The Venice wall shelf brings a curved outline to the range and is available in Black or Stone. It is an option when the shape of the display matters as much as its width. Before ordering, ask us to confirm the full dimensions against your planned position.
Check four measurements
- Wall width: measure the clear space between doors, furniture and other fittings.
- Shelf depth: compare the projection with the items you want to display and the route past it.
- Clearance above: allow room to place and remove your tallest object.
- Fixing position: check the mounting requirements against the construction of your wall.
A paper outline is useful for testing position and length before drilling. For a hallway, also open nearby doors and picture coats or bags hanging close by. Our small hallway storage guide explains how to plan the space.
Choose the finish in context
Black can echo dark handles, frames or furniture. Stone is another option for a neutral scheme. Compare product photographs with the materials already in the room; colour appearance varies with screens and lighting.
Confirm fitting and loading before you buy
Shelf capacity depends on the product, fixings and wall construction. If depth, metal thickness, included fixings or a tested load limit are essential to your choice, contact The Fold Hut for product-specific information. Follow the supplied installation instructions and get help from a competent installer when needed.
