From sleek glass bathroom shelves to robust utility shelving, our collection is designed to complement modern architectural door hardware and interior fittings, helping you achieve a cohesive, contemporary look throughout your project.

Whether you’re fitting out a new build, refreshing an existing bathroom, or specifying hardware for a commercial development, you can buy shelves online with confidence from John Barnes Group. Our range brings together trusted brands like Barben, Dormakaba, Lockwood and Zanda, giving you quality and consistency across all your hardware selections.

Stylish, Practical Shelving for Every Space

Well-chosen shelves do more than just hold your items – they add structure, style and functionality to every room. Our shelving options are designed to look great and perform reliably in high-use environments, from busy family bathrooms to commercial washrooms and utility areas.

Bathroom and Wet Area Shelves

Create a clutter-free, streamlined bathroom with shelves designed for wet areas. Ideal for soaps, shampoos, and everyday essentials, these shelves help you make better use of vertical space while keeping benchtops clear. Paired with matching towel rails, robe hooks and accessories from Barben and Zanda, you can build a cohesive bathroom package that feels modern and premium.

Shelves suitable for bathrooms are typically easy to clean and crafted from materials that stand up well to moisture, such as toughened glass with corrosion-resistant brackets, or stainless steel styles. When coordinated with your tapware and architectural door hardware, they help tie your whole bathroom design together.

Laundry, Kitchen and Utility Shelving

In laundries, kitchens and utility rooms, shelves are essential for keeping detergents, cleaning products and everyday items accessible but organised. Choosing the right combination of shelves and hooks can transform a cramped space into a highly functional zone, especially in compact homes and apartments across Brisbane and greater Queensland where smart storage is a must.

Opt for sturdy shelving solutions that align with your existing cabinet hardware and internal door furniture. Matching finishes across shelves, handles and other fittings creates a polished, considered look that suits both residential and light commercial interiors.

Commercial Fitouts and Public Amenities

For commercial projects in Queensland, New South Wales and across Australia, shelving needs to be reliable, durable and easy to maintain. From office bathrooms to hospitality venues and public amenities, shelves play a key role in meeting user expectations while supporting a professional appearance.

When specifying shelves alongside commercial-grade hardware from Dormakaba and Lockwood, you can be confident you’re selecting solutions that support high-traffic environments. Robust fixings, practical sizing and easy-clean designs all contribute to better long-term performance and lower maintenance demands.

Modern Finishes to Match Your Hardware

Coordinated finishes are a hallmark of contemporary interior design. Our range of shelves includes options to match the most popular hardware finishes used in modern projects, helping you create a unified look from the front door through to bathrooms and back-of-house spaces.

Matte Black, Brass and Contemporary Finishes

Matte black and warm metallics remain strong choices in architectural door hardware and accessories, and your shelves can be specified to complement these trends. Select brackets and fittings that echo your matte black lever sets, brass door pulls or warm-toned cabinet handles for a cohesive, design-led result.

By pairing shelves with matching hardware from brands like Barben and Zanda, you can carry the same finish across robe hooks, towel ladders, toilet roll holders and other accessories, achieving a premium, interior-designer look without overcomplicating the specification process.

Durable Stainless Steel for High-Use Areas

For high-use or high-humidity areas – including commercial bathrooms, pool change rooms and coastal properties – stainless steel shelving components are a smart choice. They offer excellent corrosion resistance, are straightforward to clean, and align perfectly with stainless steel door hardware from trusted names such as Dormakaba and Lockwood.

Stainless steel shelves and brackets work equally well in residential and commercial settings, providing a timeless, practical aesthetic that suits contemporary and classic interiors alike. When you buy shelves online through John Barnes Group, you can easily match finishes with the rest of your project hardware for a consistent result.

Choosing the Right Shelf for Your Project

The right shelving solution depends on where it will be installed, what it will hold and the look you’re aiming to achieve. Our range gives you the flexibility to support a wide variety of projects across Australia, from small upgrades to large-scale fitouts.

Size, Load Capacity and Placement

When selecting shelves, consider length, depth and load requirements. Compact shelves are ideal for tight spaces like powder rooms and apartment bathrooms, while wider shelves are better suited to family homes, laundries and commercial amenities where more storage is needed.

Placement matters too. Install shelves at a comfortable reach height for most users, and ensure there’s enough clearance above tapware, basins and benchtops. In commercial projects, think about accessibility and cleaning, as well as compliance with relevant building guidelines and standards. Where specifications vary across the range, product descriptions will help you choose a shelf suitable for your intended application.

Coordinating with Door Hardware and Accessories

One of the easiest ways to elevate a project is to align your shelves with your architectural door hardware and accessories. Choose finishes that match your internal and external door furniture, cabinet handles and bathroom fittings so your design flows seamlessly from room to room.

By selecting shelves and matching hardware from Barben, Dormakaba, Lockwood and Zanda through John Barnes Group, you streamline both your design process and procurement. This ensures your front door, internal doors, bathrooms and service areas all speak the same design language, whether you’re working on a single home in Brisbane or a multi-site commercial rollout across New South Wales or Australia-wide.
