Does anyone know where i can get the shelves that look bracketless,if you know what i mean?

You actually put the shelf supports/brackets on the wall then fit the shelf over them,

thanks

Here and also my sister got some thinner ones from Focus.

I think they are called floating shelves, you can find them in Ikea

They have them in B&Q as well. I think they're pretty common these days. Nice though

Anyone know how much weight they can support? Fanccy them for alcoves but are they suitable only for ornaments / photos or could you put a tele on them?

I wouldnt think they would support a telly, but then again it depends on how big the telly is.

we have a 20" combi telly in our bedroom, but its on a bracket suitable to hold tellys, perhaps that might be better.

Tiny tears – you could do chunky ‘floating’ alcove shelves something like this .

According to the blurb, IKEA shelves will support up to 5kgs.

That's fab Phugoid - thanks x
