Home Decorators Collection shelf installation: find the studs
The hidden bracket holds best screwed into wall studs, which in most homes stand 16 in. apart, center to center. Pick a length to see how many studs it can reach when one end lines up with a stud.
Studs drawn every 16 in. Where a bracket hole misses a stud, use the anchors the instructions call for.
