Floating decor and features look great in the home. Floating elements are referred to in this manner, because they do not have any external support structures or seem to be invisible, and from a distance the pieces may appear to be hovering in the air. To apply a modern style to your home, try incorporating floating features within various spaces and areas in your home.
Stairs
Floating stairs not only free up space within a room, as you can easily fit items underneath them and also it allows more light in, but they are an attractive focal point. However, as most floating stairs to not have a handrail, it can be dangerous for small children.
Shelves
Just like ordinary shelves, floating shelves are great for storing books or displaying beautiful decor finds. The beauty of floating shelves is that they create a clean and minimalistic appearance wherever they are placed, as they have internal brackets. They are great for small spaces as they can be fitted in almost any space.
Bed
A floating bed will not only be an instant conversation starter, but will also create a sense of calm and relaxation in a space where this feeling is very essential. These beds are either suspended from the roof or are supported by a headboard, while a few futuristic floating beds are kept in the air through the use of repelling magnets, which are built into the floor and underneath the bed. So, depending on the space you have to work with or your design style, there is sure to be a floating bed to suit your needs.
Kitchen counters
Whether you choose a fixed or moveable floating kitchen counter, both will provide you with extra preparation, storage and seating space in your kitchen. It will also create the illusion of spaciousness, especially in compact kitchens.
Vanities
Add some character to your bathroom with a floating vanity that does not touch the floor. These types of vanities are usually smaller than traditional vanities and have space underneath, giving you more room in the bathroom.
