Opinion of a specialist
The purpose of using brackets from a practical point of view is saving space, with aesthetic- creation of light stylish space. An experienced designer, these devices help masterfully embody different ideas. Hidden brackets can create the illusion that the shelves seem to grow out of the wall, for example, the Lakk's hinged regiment (IKEA). Their use allows rational to use the entire useful area of the room. Baby room with these supports you can organize creative corners. Books are often non-standard in size, and the distance between the shelves on the brackets is easy to vary. Massive cabinets and Moydodyra are completely inappropriate with elegant plumbing. Elegant transparent shelves on small steel brackets are very relevant here.

Glass funnel-shaped shells, recessed in a metal countertop, are also attached to the wall on the brackets.
