Floating shelves are so 2016. If you want a #shelfie that will truly impress, you gotta add some brackets. Gold brackets, to be specific. The brass hardware trend is still going strong; and shelf brackets are another way to incorporate the look into your decor. The hint of gold is both elegant and modern, making these brackets elevate your shelf to the next level, both literally and stylistically. And although beautiful, not everyone can afford Rejuvenation's version seen in this kitchen ($169). So, for budget-minded shoppers, we've rounded up a few of our favorite gold brackets for $30 or less.
