20+ Fantastic DIY 2×4 Shelving Ideas

Awhile back, we spent a whole week talking about how 2×4 and other structural lumber can be a great material for building all sorts of things since it’s so sturdy and inexpensive.  Shelving is a big part of this! Storage shelves for a garage or basement can be left plain and simple, but there are also tons of ways to dress 2×4’s and other 2x lumber up.  You can create large shelving units or decorative pieces for your home and get a lot of bang for your buck.  Check out all these great shelves we found that are built with 2x4s and other 2x structual lumber, and before you start building, read these tips for selecting and working with 2x4s.
