Custom Mantles and Floating Shelves
Beautiful, handcrafted pieces that bring warmth, function, and lasting character to your home. Carefully crafted in Wilmington, NC.
The Problem: Mass-Produced Shelves & Mantles Lack Soul
You’ve seen them — generic, machine-made mantles and floating shelves that feel out of place in your home. They don’t tell a story, they don’t inspire, and too often they’re made from low-grade materials that simply don’t last.
When it comes to your home — especially a space as meaningful as your fireplace or a feature wall — you deserve more.
We Build Mantles and Floating Shelves That Are as Unique as Your Home
At Luke's Furniture Company, we handcraft custom mantles and floating shelves right here in Wilmington, NC. Whether you want a substantial solid wood mantle to anchor your fireplace or sleek floating shelves to add storage and style to your living space, we work with you to bring your vision to life.
👉 What’s the difference?
-
Mantles are typically larger, thicker, and designed to sit above your fireplace, making a statement.
-
Floating shelves are usually lighter in appearance and used for display or storage on any wall.
But at their core? Both are crafted with the same care, precision, and quality materials.
