Step 1 · Determine Shelf Placement and Spacing

Measure and mark the desired locations for each shelf on the stair or hallway wall. Consider the height of items you plan to display and ensure there's enough vertical space between shelves. Use a level to ensure your markings are straight. For a hallway, consider the flow of traffic and avoid placing shelves where they might obstruct passage. For stairs, ensure shelves do not interfere with the handrail or create a hazard.
