I need simple, easy to understand instructions on how to do this. Every time I google, I just seem to be being told to use a detecter thingy and drill into the wooden whatsits behind the plasterboard. This would be fine if they were in the right place, but our rooms are oddly shaped.
So, assuming I buy a floating shelf kit from a shop (you know, the type without brackets to 'sit') the shelf on, what do I then need to do to make this shelf stay on my plasterboard walls?
The closest I seem to have been able to find, is using Molly bolts (?). Is this right?
As you can see we are total DIY novices. Would a chap in B&Q be able to tell me the right equipment and what I need to do. We do own a drill somewhere which is a start....
