Best ladder shelves according to redditors

So this time around, expecting boy #2, I didn't have near enough time to shop, but I tried to be resourceful and use what I already had! Luckily we had a crib, spent $30 on a dresser from a thrift shop and voila. Since I already have a boy, my baby sprinkle pretty much contributed to my glider purchase, monitor, and swing!

The ladder shelf is from Amazon, you can find it here for a steal $54!

The crib is from Babyletto Hudson Crib, I'm not sure they make gray anymore?

The glider/recliner is from Babies R Us, by Best Chairs- The Finley

The acrylic and gold side nesting tables are from Pier 1

Most of the other stuff came from either Target or TJ Maxx :)

I have this shelf, you can also get it on Amazon:

I found this, it's nice... You should put them on it...I was thinking you could just put them on there and every once in a while I'll stop by and knock them onto the floor?

Amazon!

Make a grow light shelf. I'm an adult with an entire house but can't grow succulents and cactus indoors without one (because of location and window direction).

I have this shelf and these lights.

It's cheaper than actual grow light shelves, but I know it's still an investment. Maybe ask for one for Christmas or ask for Amazon cards.

Good luck!

Edit: that is not the right shelf. They must have discontinued it. It's more like this.

It's good! Slightly flimsy and you have to make sure the weight is even on both sides (I noticed it slightly warped over time), but overall I think its good for the price.

I was actually thinking of getting something like this and putting different plants on it

I recognize this shelf. Good for small bathrooms.

Ladder shelves with strategically placed book stacks, pictures, and pottery would look nice and hide the outlet.

Amazon also! https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0047T6JU0/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1504901216&sr=8-2&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=leaning+bookshelf&dpPl=1&dpID=41vEwNWqgjL&ref=plSrch

Not sure what your idea exactly is for cheap but here is a couple of older pictures of how my game room is set up and stuff is displayed in case it gives you any ideas. Also I keep my games alphabetically organized and CIB close but separate from cartridge only. The displays used for the games, figures etc were on sale for around 130ish each IIRC from wayfair.com. The ladder style display used for my Dragon Quest and Blizzard plushies was from Amazon for like 80 or so.

Here is an Amazon link to a similar ladder type like what I have. Might be a little smaller though.https://www.amazon.com/Casual-Home-176-53-Bookcase-Espresso/dp/B0047T6JU0/ref=sr_1_11?ie=UTF8&qid=1540400305&sr=8-11&keywords=ladder%2Bstyle%2Bdisplay&th=1

​

My Multimedia cabinets for everything else, little more expensive than what I paid but here is a link. I'd suggest just checking for multimedia displays though as you can find a lot and most are relatively fairly priced! Look on Amazon, even Best Buy website has some. I checked Target originally but they tended to be a bit more expensive.

edit: Personally I like the shelving type I got as it is easy to arrange it in sizes that work for me, plus for the NES carts doesn't waste a lot of extra space :)

Crappy Paint Mockup of how I'd live as a single young person in this space: https://imgur.com/a/2PCm7bA (If you are a couple and need TWO sets of multiple monitors, this wouldn't be sufficient, but I can't tell how many computers you need running at once here.)

I agree that your first stop should probably be ikea. They'll have good-enough desks that will look pretty good and work pretty well for a solid decade. You might look into an adjustable height desk so you can play with your optimal height. Or with a standard fixed desk, I agree on the previous comment that you probably want an L-shape.

Why do you hate couches? When I was in a small apartment, I got a "chair and a half" -- it easily fit two people that were happy to be close together. (It had a storage ottoman (more seating!) and folded out into a twin bed. It was the best.) You do need SOME nice comfy seating to curl up in. Ikea also has plenty of chairs. You do want at least two and something to put drinks and books down on nearby. Could be two chairs and an end table, or a coffee table, or a rigid tray on an ottoman.

Bookshelves. A nice freestanding ladder shelf would be good. Tons of styles, like https://www.amazon.com/SONGMICS-Bookcase-Bathroom-Furniture-ULLS44X/dp/B074X7WT6D


Here is a storage ottoman that is easily moved from place to place. Great to have a few around to unfold and put away as needs change. Less expensive than the fancy upholstered kind. You can rest your legs on it from a chair and then use it as extra seating when you have people over. https://www.amazon.com/SONGMICS-ULSF47K-Foldable-Space-Saving-Capacity/dp/B07JQ22YYS

The desk chairs look really ... young. Hard to advise there, though. If you spend significant time on the computer, I think it's better to prioritize function over form, or you WILL have body problems down the road. Get nicer looking chairs if you can. If you can't and these are working great for your body... eh. Make everything else look nice. You probably only need one desk chair, unless there's two of you with two PCs?

You may want a kitchen island to give you more counter space and storage space. You desperately need counter space. Here is an inexpensive one but they are all over the map for style. https://www.amazon.com/Casual-Home-Kitchen-American-Hardwood/dp/B00ROX6VRW/

You probably also want some shelves between the dishwasher and the balcony. Shallow for just glassware or deeper for holding actual dishes. Just give yourself a wide path between that and any island that divides the kitchen from the living.

I am thinking you don't need a dining table and chairs, so make your living space do dining duty. Or get a kitchen island unit that includes a bar and put barstools there.

Don't forget lamps. Good lighting will make this a home, and those will travel with you.

Yes! I did and I love it. I can’t find the exact one by this is similar. Not sure if you’re looking but figured I’d include a link just in case :)

Can you give size of room detail? What empty corner? If it’s a corner then there are corner shelf units from cheap to expensive.

Possibly the front legs of the furniture on it. If you use amazon app you can play with 3D view on some rugs it gives a better idea how something looks. The corner shelf above has 3D view. It’s not perfect but it can help realize what doesn’t work.

Amazon! It's a bit unsturdy and doesn't quite sit evenly but it was a decent price! You can find it here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B075WVVSDP/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_303LDbJRW076F

Amazon.

Looks like the room could use some color. Maybe an aztec throw like this: https://www.etsy.com/listing/605366917/vintage-crochet-afghan-indian-blanket?ga_order=most_relevant&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_search_query=aztec%20blanket&ref=sc_gallery-1-3&plkey=def57b6f88685a853547f5c8b1982857cc741252:605366917&bes=1

A big plant in one of the corners could go a long way to adding some life to the room. I'm also a huge fan of ladder bookshelves like: https://smile.amazon.com/ClosetMaid-1316-4-Tier-Ladder-Bookcase/dp/B01N7S3EJS/ref=sr_1_4?s=furniture&ie=UTF8&qid=1540479478&sr=1-4&keywords=ladder+bookshelf with some books, small plants, and pictures. Hope this helps. Good luck finishing up the place!

I’m from Panama and bought it here, but here is a link for a very good option from amazon HOMFA Bamboo 4 Shelf Bookcase, Multifunctional Ladder-Shaped Plant Flower Stand Rack Bookrack Storage Shelves https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MV4NVA3/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_RHTKDbM6FRBRW

Thanks. I've had the bookshelf for years, so I can't remember where I got it, but it's very similar to this one , if it helps.

I would just use(bulid) "lean to" type shelves, they will not mark the wall on your rented place, just make sure the bottom feet are really grippy and they are super stable. i have an Ikea metal one(discontinued) i have used in several locations in my house (which has mostly plaster walls) and never had a problem with it, even when the feet are on hardwood.
