You can build some great pieces of furniture yourself using simple things. In addition to pallets, wine boxes are particularly popular for this purpose. They give the interior a rustic touch and are suitable for both modern furnishing styles and Scandinavian ones, where wood and simple furnishings predominate. Today we will show you some ideas with which you can build a wine crate shelf yourself.
Wine crate shelf in any size
Since the wine box shelf is made up of individual boxes, you can choose any size. Also the direction in which theWine boxesshow, you can choose yourself. The arrangement is, so to speak, like Tetris. This creates interesting, irregular designs that will brighten up any room and also provide additional storage space.
Creative ideas
Here you can see an example in which you attach the individual boxes to each other using angle profiles. You choose the distance between the individual boxes yourself, depending on how much space you need. The number of boxes can also be freely chosen. Such a wine crate shelf can be made quickly and is suitable for any room.

You can also build a shelf from a single box. For this purpose, you just need a few boards to divide the box. You can use this idea for a wine crate shelf, for example, in the kitchen, where there is often not much free space on the walls. Not only decorations but also dishes are shown off wonderfully.

When you build the wine crate shelf, attach the crates to each other staggered or sometimes horizontally and sometimes vertically. This creates an interesting structure. Such a shelf also looks original if you paint it in different colors. Let your imagination run wild!
How do I build one?Regal?
The shelf can stand free-standing, as in this example, or be attached directly to the wall. The boxes can also be made into a piece of furniture or hang on the wall individually and at a distance from each other. That depends on your taste and the space available.
Holzgrind
If you want to change the color of the wood, it must first be prepared by sanding it with sandpaper. On the one hand, in this way you remove unevenness and on the other hand, you create a perfect surface for the new paint. The example shelf was painted in brown and gray.
Paint the boxes
Once you have finished sanding, you can paint the individual elements, i.e. the boxes. Use a brush and ideally apply at least two coats (depending on how much coverage you want to cover the wood), allowing each coat to dry thoroughly before the next. Then let the finished painted box dry thoroughly for about a day.
Regalassemble
Once you have determined the size and shape of the shelf, it is time to assemble the shelf. Use a drill and screws long enough to screw two boxes together at a time. The screw shouldn't be too long either. In this way, attach all the boxes and place them on a large board the length and width of the finished shelf.
Wheelsadd
If you want, you can attach the wheels to this board. With the help of wheels you get a mobile wine crate shelf that you can easily move around. This makes it easier to clean underneath the shelf. However, you can also place it directly on the floor. In this case, simply skip this step. You are finished with your new DIY shelf!

Wine boxes are also a great option if you want to spend a lot of money unnecessarily on a new shelf to equip storage rooms such as basements or attics or the garage with storage space. They give the room a rustic atmosphere and for this reason look anything but unsightly. You can store tools, old items or even mason jars in the newly acquired wine crate shelf.
attach
If you only use one box as a shelf and you don't plan on filling it with lots of heavy things, you can easily hang it with a string like a picture on a nail or a hook. If you don't want a visible string, attach an eyelet to the back of the box and hang it that way. The variants are diverse and can be found out in more detail at the hardware store.

Here you can see how original such a wall shelf looks when the boxes are not attached to each other, but are staggered and attached to the wall at a distance from each other. To attach them, you either use the variants just mentioned or you screw the boxes directly to the wall. Keep in mind that the holes will be visible later if you remove the shelves.

It can be built in the form of a tower and have various offset openings, which then serve as shelves. This tower is ideal as a room divider and can visually separate different areas from each other. Here, the seating areas in a café are formed and framed by the shelves.

We have already mentioned that pallets are also often used to build furniture. How about combining the palette with the wine boxes. Here you can see a wine crate shelf idea for the bathroom. The pallet stands on the floor and serves as a coat hook for the bathrobes. There are simple wine boxes on top in which make-up utensils and towels can be stored.
The wine crate shelf is also very suitable for a kitchen in a Scandinavian style. You can store spices, pasta or other dry products in it, store glasses or display any decorations. Just be careful that the shelf doesn't overpower the decorations.
