For example, if you have a set of cat-themed mugs, it&#8217;s likely that you love cats. An &#8220;I Heart New York&#8221; mug might suggest you&#8217;ve visited the city. Alternatively, a preference for simple, minimalist mugs can reflect a straightforward style. However, it&#8217;s surprisingly easy to gather too many mugs, causing clutter in your kitchen. The solution? A few floating shelves can manage the chaos. These shelves are generally easy to install, too.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Installing shelves requires drilling into walls. If you&#8217;re renting, it&#8217;s wise to get your landlord&#8217;s permission before using a drill or hammer. On the bright side, you can transform unused space above your kitchen sink (provided it&#8217;s not obstructed by a window) into a functional storage area. Shelves can also be placed in an empty corner, above a coffee station, or over the fridge if wall space is limited. A major advantage of this setup is its capacity to hold numerous mugs. You can even stack mugs to fully utilize the shelving from top to bottom.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<h2>How to create a chic, floating shelf mug display<\/h2>\n<p><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"tiktok-embed\" cite=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@hello.vivz\/video\/7346083386387221806\" data-video-id=\"7346083386387221806\" data-embed-from=\"oembed\" style=\"max-width:605px; min-width:325px;\"><p>\n  @hello.vivz <\/p>\n<p>Not andy teaching me how to install my own shelves so i wont bother him \ud83e\udd23 pretty damn happy with my starbucks mug display tho!! #amazon #amazonfinds #acrylicshelves #starbucks #starbucksmug #fyp #collection <\/p>\n<p>  \u266c Walking Around &#8211; Instrumental Version &#8211; Eldar Kedem\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Begin by selecting your shelves. You can opt for DIY floating shelves that are sturdy enough for kitchen items or purchase pre-made ones. There&#8217;s a wide array of designs beyond the traditional wooden minimalist style. If you&#8217;re concerned about your mugs falling, consider shelves with rails. Alternatively, choose a ledge with hooks underneath to increase storage potential. You might also take inspiration from TikTok user @hello.vivz and use clear shelves to keep the focus on your mug collection.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Next, install the shelves. Use a stud finder and power drill to attach shelf brackets to wall studs. Some brackets, like those on the Wengus Heavy Duty Blind Shelf Support, are hidden, while others, like J brackets, are visible and cradle the shelf. Slide the board over the bracket to secure it in place.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Finally, arrange your mugs to your liking. You can organize them by color, from favorite to least used, or by theme &#8211; be it seasonal, travel, or limited edition. If you have extra space, add some greenery, coffee-themed signs, canister sets, or flat trays for a cozy touch.<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.tiktok.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A person&#8217;s mug collection can reveal a lot about them.
