WHY CHOOSE AN ELFA SHELVING SYSTEM?

Elfa believes in ‘CREATING SPACE IN EVERYDAY LIFE’.

The Elfa Shelving System – With ingenious storage solutions things will find their place and you will find your things.

What is Elfa?

Elfa is a component-based shelving system that is flexible, durable, completely customisable, easy to install and looks great too!

Further, Swedish designed and built to last, elfa can be used in every room in the home and can be configured to fit almost any space.

If you have existing shelves or hanging, these can be replaced with a solution that will maximise the space and be tailored to suit what you are wanting to store. Moreover, some new builds have the bare essentials when it comes to storage, before you move in is the perfect time to set your home up properly with the perfect shelving configuration.

Howards is an Elfa specialist.

WHY CHOOSE ELFA

Elfa stands out above other shelving systems due to its flexibility and hardwearing properties.

Only the top track attaches to the wall, so when you move you can take your solution with you!

Shelves and components can be moved around on a whim. What is currently a kids wardrobe can evolve as they grow and their needs change. You can add accessories as your budget allows. So start with a basic set up and your system can grow with you!

PLUS Elfa has an amazing 10-year guarantee and is made from triple coated epoxy-bonded steel and is therefore hardwearing and resilient. As a result, you can be confident that your purchase will certainly stand the test of time.

Elfa How To

If you would like to see if Elfa can be used in your home, book a FREE in-store design session.

Howard’s team of Elfa experts will help maximise the storage potential of your space by going through with you what you intend to store and how you want to use it.

Some stores will also arrange to come out to your home and do a measure and quote. This service is $75 which is redeemable against your shelving system purchase.

Information to collect to make your design session even better:

  • Measurements and photos of the space to be organised
  • A simple drawing of your space
  • List things that might get in the way like power points
  • A general list of what you want to store
  • House plans

You dream it, we can create it!

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE?

Simple designs can be done very quickly within a design session. You will likely get a design and be able to walk away with the product on the same day if the design is done in-store.

We’ll create the look you are after by helping you choose your finish, from classic shelving to premium trims.

With more complex designs, we will take your brief and return to you within a few days with a quote.

We also provide a scale drawing. After your design and quote approval, the goods will be ordered and the store will advise you how long it will take for delivery.

INSTALLATION

You can install Elfa yourself or installation can be arranged.

Elfa is simple to install, it is hung from the wall from a single Safety Top Track. The rest of the components then just click into place.

This system is based on 60cm wide sections that each can hold up to 200kg. When securely anchored to the wall with at least two wall studs, it spreads the weight evenly over the wall.

1.

INSTALL TOP TRACK

Classic Elfa is hung on the wall from a Safety Top Track. Add Hang Standards and you are ready to create customised storage with components.

2.

ADD SHELVES

Click on your shelves. So simple to install, your system will start to take shape and is almost complete. Shelves can be easily repositioned too.

3.

THEN ADD ACCESSORIES

This is the exciting part! From a basic shelving system, elfa has a vast range of accessories and Decor trims to help you customise your storage.

REAL SOLUTIONS

Elfa was used on the wall in this rumpus to hold the tv and other items, thus creating a functional space for a craft-loving family. Moreover, a craft station was created using two Elfa drawer towers.

Elfa in the Garage

A single utility track with some hooks can be super handy to get items off the floor.

This clever solution, working around pipes and a vac system, makes the most of the space for this sporty family.

Lisa’s Garage had become a dumping ground for things to ‘dealt with later’ and the garage sale that never happened. Some quality shelving and good storage (Howards Tubs) results in an amazing transformation.

We used Elfa Classic shelves in white in this garage. Moreover, a hanging rail was added as the owner wanted to store their surfboards and have easy access to their wetsuits.

Elfa – Wardrobe to Office

Using Elfa, Karen’s unwanted walk-in wardrobe became a zen reading room, then a workable office. Karen loves the flexibilty of Elfa.

U Shaped Wardobe Makeover

This U shaped wardrobe only had a single shelf and hanging rail.

Shoes were shoved on the floor and the hanging rails were overcrowded as there was no infrastructure to store anything else.

We created a wardrobe that had double hanging, shoe storage, pull out drawers and more by removing the old shelf and replacing it with Elfa.

The entire system hangs off the top rail, and everything else just clicks into place.

Elfa maximised the space available,  providing multi levels of hanging and additional storage space.

Have an awkward corner space in your kitchen? Why not think about an open pantry. Good shelving and drawers will keep things tidy and look pretty amazing.
