These versatile pieces of furniture provide an open airy approach to storage compared with a bulky bookcase or cabinet. They can be used in virtually any room of the house, and offer many storage and display options.
I love lining two or three along a wall to display treasures and hold boxes and baskets of essential items.
They are ingenious in a small office where space is a premium and provide a stylish touch to what is normally a utilitarian space.
They are also great flanking a TV, in many of our homes this is dead space and these open shelves provide great storage without taking up too much visual space.
And don't forget about the bathroom were you may not have very much floor space, but you can go vertical.
Etageres come in so many different materials and finishes to fit any budget. I am a sucker for vintage pieces, such as bamboo and 70's glam. If the finish is not what you want don't be afraid to take a can of spray paint to it You can find some great affordable used options at antique malls, estate sales, and on-line classifieds.
My favorite places to find budget friendly new ones are IKEA,
Pier 1, Work Market, and of course More Decor
