In today's article, I will show you a very easy DIY idea for you to enhance your home decor and still help with decorating. These are the shelves with pipes, made with PVC, copper or steel pipes.
How to Make a Bookcase with PVC Pipes
To make the shelf, you will need only pipes and wood to serve as the base of the shelf. The step-by-step is the same for any model: measure the space, think about the objects that will be on the shelf (and, therefore, their weight) and from there, just cut the wood and assemble the pipes.
The great advantage of making a shelf with PVC pipes is that you can cut them at home, with a common saw, according to the desired size.
In addition, in building material stores it is also possible to buy joints. With that, just assemble the puzzle!
See below a video showing the step-by-step to make a shelf with simple PVC pipes:

Easy, isn't it? Remembering that for other materials such as steel, copper or metals, it takes a little more work to saw and fit the joints.
Tip: You can make the shelf with PVC, which is easier to handle and cut, as well as cheaper. And to give the impression that the shelf is metal, buy spray paint silver, gold or copper and go! It will look metallic, but without all the work that metal tubes have.
PVC Pipe Shelf Ideas
I recommend that you first try to make a simple bookcase, as shown in the video above, and then take the liberty to create. Use and abuse the colors, shapes and sizes, let your imagination flow.
Below are some possibilities:
It is also possible to assemble shelves only with PVC pipes, which after being assembled can also be painted, and will offer support for various objects in your home, such as books, vases or even a TV.
So, did you like the idea? Using PVC pipes to create bookcases is a great option to decorate and organize any corner of the house while spending little money. The cool thing is that it's all 100% customizable, so you can do it however you want!
