Different types of shelving

Fixed bracket wall shelving is the most common type of shelving, and the safest as the shelves are fixed to the wall using brackets.
Floating shelves have no visible support and give the appearance that they are suspended on their own.
Built-in shelving is shelves that are built into an existing alcove, using existing walls as support.
Free-standing shelves are shelves that are supported by themselves, often as bookshelves.
Ladder shelves are propped against the wall and are often decorative. Ladder shelves resemble a ladder in their construction.
Hanging wall shelves, as the name suggests, are shelves suspended on pipes, ropes, or other forms of support. They instantly add dramatic flair to a room.

Types of shelving materials

When considering shelves it helps to know what you plan on using the shelves for.
Different loads will require different strength shelving.
A light load can be considered to be vases, small plants or trinkets.
A medium load can be considered to be a shelf full of average-sized paperback books.
A heavy load can be considered to be large plants and hardcover books.
Timber is strong and can be found in a variety of different sizes.
Timber is easy to work with and can be finished in a variety of ways.
Laminated chipboard is typically used in flat-packed furniture, and although it is cheaper than timber, it is definitely not as strong.
Glass is an attractive option but only suitable for lighter loads.
Special brackets need to be used for glass shelving.
There are many more materials used for shelving, but these mentioned are the most common.
