Is it possible to fit floating shelves in an open under stairs area?

Hello Christine,by floating you mean no visible brackets etc? It is possible but it all depends on the strength of the wall you want to fix the shelves to. I wouldn't recommend fixing to plasterboard alone there would need to be a brick or block substrate to fix to. Using P type wall bolts should do the trick. Cheers Ian
