Hello everyone,
I want to hang two decorative shelves in the kitchen.
Unfortunately, I noticed in our construction phase photos that the water pipe runs exactly where I planned to drill.
So, we can't drill there.
Do you have any tips on how to hang the shelves anyway? Are there any good adhesives or mounting solutions?
Best regards,
Ivonne

You can use a board in the style of your choice, sized larger, and install it over the pipes. Beforehand, fix the baskets to the board with screws. This way, the baskets can securely hold potatoes and onions weighing several kilograms (pounds) without any issues. There is a second advantage: the chosen board provides a frame for the visually unsupported basket, giving it a grounded appearance.

Exactly, such a beautiful teak board, high-gloss lacquered, with the black baskets on it, I really like that.No, matte and worn-looking 😉 No, seriously: with a high-gloss kitchen, you would choose a matte and rough surface; with a matte surface, you’d rather go for contrast 🙂
