Measure and mark the spaces on the wall on both ends of where you want the shelf to go. Then check the shelf to make sure it s sturdy and ready to bear the weight of whatever you put on top of it.

Fit a floating shelf by pushing it onto the bracket instead. Next secure the bracket in the drilled hole and use a level to figure out where to drill a second hole for the second bracket.
