Our wall shelves

A wall shelf combines aesthetics, functionality and space saving. It optimizes vertical space while displaying decorative objects, books or plants. At Ripaton, our steel wall shelves adapt to all styles.

The beauty of a wall shelf lies in the combination of materials. Our steel wall brackets pair perfectly with different types of shelving boards:

Solid wood (oak, pine, walnut): warm, natural, timeless. Ideal for a Scandinavian or rustic style.
MDF or melamine: affordable, available in many colours. Perfect for a clean, modern look.
Reclaimed wood: full of character, eco-friendly. Great for an industrial or bohemian vibe.

Our brackets are made from powder-coated steel, ensuring strength and durability. The contrast between the warmth of wood and the sleekness of black steel is one of the most popular combinations among our customers.

Each room has its own needs. Here is our guide to choosing the right wall shelf for each space:

Living room: opt for a wide shelf to display books, plants or decorative items. A solid wood shelf on steel brackets creates a warm, contemporary look.
Entrance: a compact shelf for keys, a small plant or daily accessories. Functional and space-saving.
Kitchen: ideal for jars, cups or spices. Choose a powder-coated steel shelf for easy maintenance.
Bathroom: for towels, toiletries or light decorative items. Make sure to choose a moisture-resistant finish.

All our wall shelves are available here, in several sizes and finishes to suit every room.

Ripaton wall shelves are the result of artisanal and responsible manufacturing. Each piece is designed and made from steel in our workshop in Montpellier, France. We prioritize durable materials and an environmentally friendly manufacturing process.

With our modular wall brackets, you can create an entirely custom wall display. Combine different lengths, heights and arrangements to design a composition that reflects your style.

A few ideas to get you started:
- Staggered shelves at different heights for a dynamic, modern look
- Aligned shelves for a clean, minimalist effect
- Mixed sizes to create visual rhythm and break up a large wall

Our steel brackets are strong enough to support solid wood boards, reclaimed planks or custom-cut shelves. The only limit is your imagination.

A wall shelf is mounted directly to the wall, ideal for optimizing space and creating a light decor. A bookcase is a complete piece of furniture, usually on the floor, bulkier. Wall shelves are more modular, easier to install, and fit into any room.

The choice depends on the room. For the living room, opt for a decorative shelf. In the kitchen, choose a sturdy powder-coated model. In the bathroom, select a moisture-resistant model like LE DÉLICAT. In the hallway, a slim functional shelf works perfectly.

It depends on the model and wall type. Our shelves are designed to withstand 10 to 30 kg, or more on solid supports. On concrete, a 40-60 cm shelf supports 20-30 kg. On plasterboard, the recommended load is 10-15 kg.

Choose your fixing method based on the load, duration of use and wall constraints:

Yes. All powder-coated steel models are moisture resistant and designed to last. They are perfectly suited for a bathroom, kitchen or laundry room.

To properly mount a wall shelf, start by locating the wall studs or use anchors suited to your wall type (drywall, brick, concrete). Use a spirit level to ensure the shelf is horizontal. Drill holes at the marked positions, insert the anchors, then firmly screw in the brackets or wall supports. At Ripaton, our steel brackets come pre-drilled for easy installation and are delivered with the appropriate screws.

Absolutely! Our steel brackets and wall supports are designed for DIY projects. Choose your Ripaton brackets, pair them with a solid wood board of your choice (oak, pine, walnut…) and create a unique, personalised wall shelf. Our products are easy to install: simply fix the brackets to the wall with the screws provided, then place your shelf board. A project accessible even to beginners.

All our wall shelves are manufactured in France, in our workshop in Montpellier. Each bracket and wall support is designed and handcrafted in steel by our team. We favour local and responsible manufacturing, using durable materials and French craftsmanship. By choosing Ripaton, you support made-in-France production that respects the environment and short supply chains.

Choosing the right wall shelf depends on several criteria: the room (living room, kitchen, hallway, bathroom), the weight of the items to support, the desired style and the available space. For lightweight objects like frames or plants, slim brackets are sufficient. For books or jars, opt for sturdier supports. At Ripaton, we offer various sizes and finishes of wall brackets to meet all your needs. Feel free to contact us for personalised advice.
