Finding additional storage in a tight space can be problematic for many consumers that live in a layout that is limited or smaller scale. The [Franklin Shelf](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mlb-essentials-summer-2026) is a stylish furniture piece that adds additional storage to the corner of walls with a [floating shelving unit](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ledge-shelf) that is ideal for hanging books or knick-knacks. The shelf leverages corner spaces that often go unused in most homes.

The Franklin Shelf is a luxe 90-degrees corner shelf made from cherry wood, walnut or maple. The shelf is comprised of a 90-degree box that can be hung on walls and even tables to increase storage space. The decorative design of the shelf makes the space ideal for showcasing items such as photographs, books and decorative pieces.
