Oak corbels are appreciated for their aesthetic and structural uses. They add detail to

buildings, being frequently used in kitchens, living rooms, and hallways to improve the

aesthetic appeal of shelves, countertops, and fireplaces. Often, they also enhance

architectural features like arches, overhangs, and shelves. Beyond their visual appeal,

corbels provide essential support for these structures, contributing to their stability and

longevity. Corbels should complement the visual weight of the beam or shelf above.

Generally, as a rule of thumb, the corbel’s height should typically be around 2/3 the depth of

the item it supports.

The two that are shown here were designed by a client, and if you are considering having

some made, have a chat with us about the possibilities! You might choose between classical

curves, rustic brackets, or minimalist lines—depending on the structure they’ll support or

embellish, or where in your home you are looking to position them.
