Shelf spacing
Check the visual rhythm as well as the objects you plan to display. Taller decor needs more clear space than books or framed photos.
CalomeDownload Calome Floating shelf planner
Plan floating shelves for the wall you actually have.
Measure the available span, explore shelf count and proportions, preview the layout in your room, and build from a custom floating shelf plan.
Designed around your measured spaceWhy generic plans fall short
Floating shelves look simple, but the hard part is deciding how many fit, how wide they should be, and whether the spacing feels right in the room. A generic plan can teach the construction method without answering those layout questions for your wall.
A more useful starting point
A layout based on the clear wall span
Calome starts with the space available. Use a LiDAR room scan or enter measurements manually, then adjust the shelf width, depth, count, style, and finish. The project preview updates as the design changes, helping you compare proportions before buying lumber or drilling into the wall.

Inside the Calome plan
What you can use before and during the build
- Shelf dimensions configured around the available wall space
- A materials and tools list for the selected design
- Cut information and project-specific build sequencing
- An AR preview to evaluate placement and scale
- Beginner-friendly guidance for each build stage
Plan the details that affect fit
Three things to check before you build
Wall structure
The final mounting method depends on the wall and expected load. Locate suitable framing or use hardware rated for the actual wall construction.
Final measurements
Walls can change width or fall out of square. Verify critical dimensions with a tape before final cuts and installation.
Common questions
Start with clarity.
How deep should floating shelves be?
Depth depends on what the shelves need to hold and the clearance available in the room. Calome lets you configure the depth while keeping the overall design visible.
Can I use Calome without LiDAR?
Yes. LiDAR enables automatic room measurement, while manual measurement entry is available on compatible iPhones.
Measure first. Build with a plan.
