A carved wall shelf can be purchased in two fundamentally different formats, even if the size and material are completely identical. PKR-002 and Versailles 009-002 have the same dimensions of 415 × 355 × 225 mm and are made of beech or oak. The difference is not in the wall scale or platform depth, but in the degree of readiness: the first model is designed for subsequent custom finishing, the second is offered in ready-made color options.
Buy carved shelf PKR-002 for custom finishing is worth it when the product must exactly match the color of furniture, doors, moldings, wall panels, or other wooden decor. Beech is prepared for enamel, oak for tinting. The finish, test coat, and complex effects are calculated separately: the card confirms surface preparation but does not automatically include any color, patina, gilding, or multi-layer decorative scheme.
Buy ready-made shelf Versailles 009-002 is reasonable if one of the proposed options suits: white enamel RAL 9010, cherry tint, or walnut with patina. The buyer does not need to independently arrange primer selection, painting, tinting, and intermediate transportation of the product to the workshop. The final interior item is clearer in terms of color concept and transitions faster from receipt to installation.
Both models are made to order, and the cards indicate an average lead time of 5–10 days. For PKR-002, this period refers to the production of the prepared shelf, and the full project may become longer due to separate finishing and drying. For Versailles 009-002, the ready-made execution reduces the number of independent stages if the chosen color truly suits the interior.
Short answer. PKR-002 is chosen for an exact match to the color of furniture, wall, door, or molding, when the designer or craftsman controls the enamel, tinting, patina, and gloss level. This is a shelf for a custom finishing cycle.
Versailles 009-002 is chosen for a ready-made interior, gift, or quick completion of a classic composition, if RAL 9010, cherry, or walnut with patina are suitable. The size of both shelves is the same — 415 × 355 × 225 mm, so you need to compare the finish, total budget, and number of stages before installation.

Why the same size does not mean the same purchase
Both shelves have the same height, width, and depth, so they take up the same space on the wall and provide a comparable area for decor. The buyer does not need to choose between a compact and a large format.
The difference appears after manufacturing. PKR-002 transfers control over the finish to the project, Versailles 009-002 moves the finishing part into a ready-made commercial product.
You need to compare not only the price of the card, but also the cost of painting, delivery to the workshop, sample, installation, and time until the finished result.
Get Consultation
What the buyer gets when ordering PKR-002
PKR-002 is a carved shelf made of beech or oak with a prepared surface. Beech is designed for enamel, oak for tinting. This base allows the product to be included in the overall room finishing scheme.
The buyer can coordinate the color with facades, doors, baseboards, ceiling cornices, and moldings. Specific enamel, patina, gilding, and multi-layer treatment are not considered included without a separate calculation.
The main advantage of the model is the freedom of project color, not the absence of finishing costs.
What the buyer gets in Versailles 009-002
Versailles 009-002 is a ready-made interior item with proposed finish options. The card specifies RAL 9010, 'cherry,' and 'walnut with patina.'
The buyer does not need to independently find a painter, select primer, and control tinting. The product is chosen as a completed part of a classic interior.
Readiness does not cancel the need to check the real shade next to the furniture. White, cherry, and walnut colors look different in daylight and artificial lighting.
When an exact RAL or NCS code is needed
An exact code is needed when the shelf must match painted doors, kitchen fronts, wall panels, or architectural decor.
In such a project, PKR-002 is more convenient: the craftsman receives prepared beech and can include the product in a common painting batch.
Code matching does not guarantee the same visual result on different materials. Therefore, a test paint-out is mandatory next to MDF, plaster, and solid wood.
When white enamel RAL 9010 is sufficient
Ready white Versailles is suitable for a classic living room, bedroom, hallway, and fireplace area where a light decorative element is needed without complex selection.
RAL 9010 should be compared with white doors, ceiling cornice, and furniture. Different white shades vary in warmth and look different.
If the interior is based on a different white code, PKR-002 for custom enamel may be more accurate.
Cherry tinting: when it is appropriate
A warm cherry palette suits classic furniture, a study, a library, and a hallway with rich wood tones.
The ready-made option is convenient if there is no surface nearby that requires an exact match. The shelf can function as an independent decorative item.
If you have old cherry-colored furniture, the sample must be compared physically: the same name does not guarantee the same shade.
"Walnut with patina": ready-made decorative effect
Patina highlights the carved relief and makes the shelf visually deeper. This option suits interiors with classic furniture, mirrors, and consoles in a warm palette.
Versailles is convenient because the effect is already included in the selected finish of the item. The buyer does not need to separately coordinate the intensity of the patina.
If a different walnut shade or selective highlighting of details is needed, PKR-002 offers more flexibility but requires a separate project.
Beech for enamel or a ready-made white shelf
Beech PKR-002 is chosen when a custom shade, gloss level, and uniform coloring with other elements are required.
White Versailles is suitable if RAL 9010 already matches the interior and there is no point in organizing a separate painting cycle.
The difference is not in the quality of the material, but in control: a project shelf allows more precise color management, while a ready-made one reduces the number of decisions and contractors.
Oak for tinting or ready-made walnut with patina
Oak PKR-002 preserves the texture and allows you to match the tint to doors, furniture, or panels. For an accurate result, a sample of the same coating system is needed.
Versailles "walnut with patina" provides a ready-made classic effect. It is suitable if the shade does not have to match a specific existing surface.
A complete match between ready-made walnut and other furniture cannot be guaranteed based solely on the color name.
Why make a test coating of PKR-002
A test coating shows how beech accepts enamel, oak accepts tinting, and how the carved relief looks after all layers.
On the sample, the shade, gloss, depth of patina, and preservation of fine details are evaluated. It is easier to correct a mistake on a small test than on a finished shelf.
The test stage is especially important when combining with already installed doors and furniture that may have changed color over time.
Matte, semi-matte, or glossy surface
The degree of gloss affects the perception of relief. A matte surface looks calmer, while a glossy one emphasizes highlights and possible unevenness more strongly.
For PKR-002, the choice of gloss is part of a separate finishing project and is not considered standard card equipment.
Versailles is chosen based on the finished execution. It is better to clarify the actual gloss and visual effect before ordering.
Solid or combined finish
Solid enamel connects the shelf with the wall or furniture and makes the carving more architectural. The combined scheme highlights individual details of the relief.
PKR-002 is suitable for such a project, but multiple colors, patina, and gilding require separate calculation and a technological card.
A finished Versailles should not be purchased with the expectation of simple repainting: changing the finish may require complex preparation.
Patina and relief highlighting
Patina darkens recesses and emphasizes shape. On complex carvings, excessive contrast can make the product heavy.
PKR-002 allows coordinating the intensity of the effect with the designer or workshop. Versailles "walnut with patina" offers a ready-formed solution.
Before ordering, you need to decide whether the patina is an independent accent or should support the mirror, console, and other furniture.
Can gilding be used
Gilding of individual elements is only possible as a separately agreed finishing scenario for PKR-002. The card does not confirm that such an effect is included in the base cost.
Golden details should be repeated in the mirror frame, lighting fixtures, or hardware, otherwise the shelf looks like an isolated accent.
The finished Versailles should be selected from available finishes, without assuming additional gilding without consultation.
How to choose a color to match existing furniture
They compare not the name of the shade, but a physical sample under real lighting. Wood, MDF, and painted walls reflect light differently.
PKR-002 allows for a test paint-out and recipe adjustment. Versailles is more convenient if the furniture does not require an exact match and the finished color supports the overall palette.
A photo on the screen does not replace a sample: monitor settings and lighting change perception.
How to coordinate the oak shade
The toning of oak depends on the pattern of the specific wood, preparation, and number of layers.
For PKR-002, the master must work with a sample next to the door or furniture. A complete match of the natural pattern cannot be expected, but the shade and gloss can be coordinated.
The finished Versailles is chosen as a standalone item or as part of a composition with a similar tone.
Full cost of PKR-002
The price of the product includes a test coat, finishing materials, the master's work, possible transportation to the workshop, packaging after painting, and installation.
Complex patina, multiple colors, and gilding increase the scope of work. They cannot be considered automatically included.
PKR-002 becomes a rational choice when color accuracy is truly important and justifies the additional steps.
Full cost of Versailles 009-002
The finished version reduces individual expenses on the painting workshop and technology coordination.
Delivery, installation, suitable fasteners, and wall inspection remain. These steps are necessary for any wall shelf.
The two models should be compared based on the total project cost before installation, not just the price of the card.
How long does individual finishing take?
The exact timeline depends on the chosen system, number of layers, drying time, and workshop workload. It is not confirmed in the initial data.
An additional finishing cycle is added to the average production time of PKR-002, which is 5–10 days.
Versailles transitions to installation faster after receipt if the finished color is already approved and no rework is required.
What is more convenient for a finished apartment?
In a completed interior, predictable color, absence of dust, and minimal additional contractors are often more important.
Versailles is suitable if one of the three options matches the furniture and wall.
PKR-002 is chosen when the ready-made finishes noticeably conflict with the existing decor and a color compromise is unacceptable.
What to choose for a new design project?
At the design stage, it is easier to include PKR-002 in the general finishing schedule and paint it together with doors, moldings, and panels.
Versailles allows you to build an interior around a ready-made color if the collection has already been selected.
The solution depends on what the starting point is: an individual room palette or ready-made classic furniture.
Shelf for a private customer without a workshop
Without a proven painter and a technological map, PKR-002 can turn into a prolonged project.
Versailles removes a significant part of the organizational burden and provides a finished item.
Before ordering, it remains to check the color, wall, fasteners, installation location, and intended decorative items.
Shelf for a designer and a carpentry workshop
For a designer, PKR-002 provides control over color, gloss, and connection with other elements.
The workshop can include the shelf in one batch with furniture facades, doors, and moldings.
Versailles is convenient if the project is based on a ready-made collection and does not require a custom finish.
Shelf as a gift
Ready-made Versailles is usually clearer as a gift: the appearance is already determined, and the recipient doesn't need to look for a workshop.
The color should be chosen based on the person's interior, not just the giver's personal taste.
PKR-002 is suitable as a gift for a designer or craftsman who plans their own finish in advance.
Living room: single wall accent
In the living room, the shelf is placed above a console, next to a painting, or on a free wall section.
PKR-002 can be painted in the wall color to create an architectural relief. Versailles will become a standalone classic piece.
On a 225 mm deep platform, a small composition is placed without assigning load without checking the fasteners.
Hallway: shelf next to the mirror
Paired shelves on either side of the mirror create symmetry and provide space for small decorative items.
For a ready-made composition, you can choose a carved mirror for the shelf and compare its size, finish, and distances on the wall.
In a narrow hallway, a depth of 225 mm requires checking the passage, door opening, and clothing.
Classic console and wall shelf
A shelf above the console ties the vertical composition together and helps decorate an empty wall.
You can buy the Versailles 006-001 console and check how the finished items match in color and scale.
PKR-002 gives freedom of finish to match the existing console, Versailles is convenient for a collection solution.
Fireplace area: one or two shelves
A pair is often used on the sides of the fireplace to balance the central portal.
Shelves should not be in a high-heat zone and do not replace the fireplace structure.
Versailles is suitable for a ready-made classic interior, PKR-002 for an exact match with the portal, panels, and cornice.
Bedroom: decorative shelf without overload
In the bedroom, the shelf can support a mirror, headboard, or a small wall composition.
White Versailles looks lighter on a light wall, warm tinting suits classic furniture.
PKR-002 is useful if you need to match the color of a cabinet or doors, but complex finish must be agreed upon in advance.
Office and library
Oak under tinting pairs well with a library and desk.
Versailles in cherry or walnut with patina shade suits a ready-made classic study.
PKR-002 is chosen when existing furniture has its own tinting and an exact sample is required.
Commercial interior
In a hotel, salon, restaurant, or showroom, shelves can be repeated in a series.
PKR-002 allows all products to be included in the corporate palette but requires control of identical finishes.
Versailles simplifies ordering if the ready-made option matches the concept. Each shelf's installation is calculated based on the wall and load.
Can the shelf be used without items?
Yes. The carved shape itself works as a wall decorative accent.
In this case, color and chiaroscuro are especially important: PKR-002 can be made close to the wall, Versailles can be used as a contrasting ready-made item.
An empty platform does not cancel the requirement for secure fastening.
What to place on a depth of 225 mm?
The depth is suitable for small vases, figurines, souvenirs, candlesticks, and compositions after stability check.
The item should not protrude dangerously into the passage or be easily moved.
The exact permissible weight has not been confirmed, so heavy clocks, large planters, and equipment are only placed after calculating the shelf and fastening.
Why the shelf cannot be overloaded
Load-bearing capacity depends not only on the wood array but also on the wall, fasteners, load application point, and installation.
Cards do not confirm a universal maximum weight. It cannot be assigned based on the shelf's appearance.
Heavy items require specialist consultation and a separate calculation.
How to choose a spot on the wall
The shelf must have free space around the threads and not obstruct passage, doors, curtains, or furniture.
The template 415 × 355 × 225 mm helps assess not only the frontal size but also the protrusion.
In a paired composition, first find the central axis of the mirror, console, or fireplace, then place two shelves symmetrically.
How to choose the mounting height
The height depends on the purpose, items, furniture under the shelf, and the height of the users.
A universal value cannot be assigned without a room. Above a console, the shelf works as part of a vertical line; in a passageway, it acts as an independent object.
An additional guide explains where to place a carved wall shelf in the living room, hallway, and fireplace area.
How to check the wall
Concrete, solid brick, hollow block, drywall, and wooden partition require different fastening solutions.
The finishing layer must be durable. Wallpaper, paint, and plaster do not replace the load-bearing base.
Before ordering a heavy composition, it is useful to determine the wall material and the location of hidden utilities.
Why one mounting adhesive is not enough to promise
Glue can be part of the mounting scheme, but not a universal solution for a shelf with items.
The load must be transferred to a suitable base through calculated fasteners.
You can buy materials for mounting the shelf, however, the specific set is selected based on the wall, weight, and expected load.
How to check the fasteners
The type, quantity, and length of fasteners depend on the wall and shelf design. A universal set is not confirmed in the initial data.
The master checks the mounting points, the condition of the base, and access to them.
Using random dowels without assessing the wall material is risky on your own.
Dry fitting before mounting
A cardboard template replicates the height, width, and depth of the shelf. It is fixed to the wall and viewed from the main points of the room.
For a pair, two templates are made and symmetry is checked.
Before drilling, the location of wiring, switches, lights, and furniture must be determined.
How to store PKR-002 before finishing
The prepared shelf is kept in a dry room and the thread is protected from impacts.
Do not place the product on a thin protrusion or stack face sides without a gasket.
Before painting work, the material marking and the agreed finishing map are preserved.
How to store finished Versailles
The finished coating requires protection from scratches, moisture, and point loads.
Before installation, the product is left in its packaging, avoiding contact of the front surface with fasteners and tools.
When unpacking, check the color and condition before drilling the wall.
Care of the finished shelf
Dust is removed with a soft dry or slightly damp cloth, choosing products according to the finish coating.
Abrasives and harsh chemicals can damage the enamel, tinting, and patina.
Loosening of the fastening requires checking the wall and the assembly, not just cosmetic touch-up.
How not to confuse a shelf for finishing with a finished one
PKR-002 is selected according to the carved decor card and a separate finish is planned. Versailles is in the finished classic furniture section and has specified color options.
The same size creates a risk of ordering the wrong degree of readiness.
In the specification, you need to write the full article number and the selected finish, not just "shelf 415 × 355 × 225 mm".
How not to confuse a shelf with a console
A wall shelf is attached to the wall and has a platform for small items. A floor console is an independent piece of furniture.
The shelf can be located above the console, but does not replace it in function and load.
In this section you can buy ready-made classic furniture and select items of the same style.
How not to confuse the external size with the usable area
Dimensions 415 × 355 × 225 mm describe the product as a whole. The usable area may be smaller than the external width and depth due to carved elements and the shape of the support.
Before placing a specific item, you need to check the actual surface in the product card or with a manager.
You cannot choose a shelf only by depth of 225 mm without considering the shape of the area and the stability of the item.
Practical choice: exact match with doors
If the doors are already painted to a specific code, choose PKR-002 from beech for enamel and make a test sample.
Versailles is suitable only if the finished color matches the doors or with a deliberate contrast.
The sample is evaluated on the same wall and under the same lighting where the shelf will be installed.
Practical choice: ready-made white hallway
If the furniture and doors are close to RAL 9010, the ready-made Versailles reduces the number of steps.
A mirror and console of the same classic line can be installed nearby.
If the white shade is different, it's better to check PKR-002 for custom enamel rather than hoping for a match from a photo.
Practical choice: oak library
For precise tinting to match existing cabinets, choose PKR-002 in oak.
If the library is designed in a warm classic style without requiring an exact match, ready-made 'cherry' or 'walnut with patina' is suitable.
The shelf is examined next to the furniture before installation.
Practical choice: shelf as a gift
Versailles is easier to give as a gift because the product already has a finished appearance.
The choice between white enamel, "cherry," and "walnut with patina" is made based on the recipient's interior.
PKR-002 is only suitable when the craftsman and future finish are known in advance.
Practical choice: two shelves by the fireplace
For a symmetrical pair, two identical models in the same finish are ordered.
PKR-002 is painted in one batch, and the left and right positions are marked after a test painting.
Versailles is checked for shade and placed mirror-symmetrically relative to the fireplace or central mirror.
Practical choice: hotel or restaurant
Serial PKR-002 allows for repeating the corporate color but increases the role of batch control.
Versailles simplifies configuration if the ready finish matches the design concept.
For each wall, the fasteners and permissible items are calculated separately.
Practical choice: shelf in wall color
PKR-002 made of beech can be included in the wall painting project so that the carving is only read by light and shadow.
The shade and gloss are checked on a test sample because wood and plaster reflect light differently.
The finished Versailles works better as a standalone item rather than a relief completely dissolved into the wall.
Practical choice: shelf in furniture color
For an exact match with the furniture facade, not only the paint is important, but also the degree of gloss, patina, and the nature of the tinting.
PKR-002 allows you to coordinate all these parameters with the workshop.
Versailles is suitable if the color is close and the shelf should be a separate classic accent.
Practical choice: shelf next to a white mirror
The finished white Versailles is convenient if the mirror frame is close to RAL 9010.
For a different white shade, it is better to order PKR-002 to match the exact enamel.
The two shelves on the sides of the mirror must have the same finish and the same height.
Practical choice: a shelf next to a dark console
Versailles in "cherry" or "walnut with patina" complements warm classic furniture.
PKR-002 in oak is chosen when you need to more accurately match an existing stain.
The sample is examined together with the countertop and console facades.
Mistake: choosing only by the same size
Matching dimensions of 415 × 355 × 225 mm does not mean the same configuration and readiness.
PKR-002 requires a separate finish, Versailles is already offered in color.
Before payment, you need to decide who is responsible for enamel, tinting, patina, and result control.
Error: consider PKR-002 as a ready painted shelf
The card confirms beech for enamel and oak for tinting, not the automatically selected color.
The buyer must include finishing in the budget and timeline.
If a separate cycle is not needed, it's better to consider Versailles.
Error: consider any finishing included
RAL, NCS, patina, gilding, multiple shades, and special gloss require separate approval.
You cannot transfer an example from an interior to a base card without calculation.
Only confirmed configuration is recorded in the order.
Error: buying Versailles with a plan of simple repainting
The finished coating may require complex removal or preparation.
Repainting can change the texture and appearance.
If a non-standard color is needed, it is more rational to choose PKR-002 before applying the finish.
Error: considering RAL 9010 as a universal white
White shades differ in warmth and gloss.
The finished shelf may not match the door or furniture from another manufacturer.
Comparing samples before ordering protects against noticeable discrepancies.
Error: choosing 'walnut' by name
Walnut tints vary in shade and intensity.
The finished 'walnut with patina' should be perceived as Versailles' own execution.
For an exact match with the furniture, it is better to use PKR-002 and a test tint.
Error: do not consider the full project timeline
Production of PKR-002 takes on average 5–10 days, but finishing and drying add time.
Versailles is also made to order, but does not require a separate painting cycle if the color is suitable.
The installation plan is drawn up based on the full route.
Error: do not consider the total cost
Finishing materials, workshop, test sample, and transportation can significantly affect the budget for PKR-002.
Versailles reduces the number of additional operations, but delivery and installation remain.
The comparison is made up to the finished result on the wall.
Error: assign load based on appearance
The carved wooden shelf looks massive, but the permissible weight is determined by the entire system.
Without data on the wall and fasteners, a specific load cannot be guaranteed.
For heavy items, a separate calculation is required.
Error: mount only with glue
The shelf is intended for items, so the mounting must account for the load.
Glue does not replace a calculated mechanical assembly without technical confirmation.
The mounting method is chosen based on the wall and structure.
Error: place the shelf in a narrow passage without a template
The depth of 225 mm protrudes noticeably from the wall.
In a hallway or near a door, the shelf may obstruct movement and clothing.
The volumetric template shows the problem before ordering.
Error: overloading the thread with finish
Too thick enamel or intense patina can hide small details.
For PKR-002, the master must maintain readability of the form.
Finished Versailles is chosen as a completed finish and is not refined with random compositions.
Error: not checking a pair of items together
Two shelves at a mirror or fireplace must match in color, height, and position.
PKR-002 is painted in one batch, Versailles is accepted and compared before installation.
Differences in lighting or wall also affect the perception of the pair.
Error: buying a shelf without understanding the items
A small figurine and a heavy planter create different loads.
Before ordering, you need to determine the approximate usage scenario
Who Versailles may not suit
The ready-made model is not suitable if a precise different code, complex custom patina, or multiple shades are required.
It can also conflict with existing furniture if the color was chosen only by name.
In that case, PKR-002 for custom finishing is better.
When it's better to choose a different carved shelf
The size 415 × 355 × 225 mm may be too deep for a narrow passage or too compact for a large wall.
In the general category, you can compare shelf sizes and shapes and choose a different scale.
First, determine the location, then the degree of readiness and finish.
How to buy a shelf on STAVROS
First, decide whether you need a ready color or a project finish, then open the corresponding card.
Check the dimensions 415 × 355 × 225 mm, material, production time, finish, and installation location.
To compare other shapes, you can view all STAVROS carved shelves and choose a model of a different scale.
What to check before payment
The order must include the exact article number, beech or oak, selected finish, and number of shelves.
For PKR-002, the future finish and responsible master are fixed separately. For Versailles — a ready color.
Before payment, determine the wall, fasteners, location, and permissible items.
General recommendations for choosing carved shelves
A detailed material explains, how to choose a carved shelf made of beech or oak for a classic interior.
This article compares the readiness level of two models of the same size, and the general guide helps evaluate the material, style, and location.
The links complement each other and do not replace checking a specific product card.
Other sizes and proportions
If the format 415 × 355 × 225 mm is not suitable, you can choose a compact or wide carved shelf in the comparison of PKR-012.1 and PKR-001.
For a long wall, it is useful to compare a long or compact wooden shelf PKR-012.2 and PKR-028.1.
So the buyer first determines the size, then the degree of readiness and finish.
Shelves for different rooms and tasks
A separate overview shows use cases for wooden shelves in the kitchen, in the icon corner, and decorative compositions.
PKR-002 and Versailles have a classic carved character, but the location and items must match the size 415 × 355 × 225 mm.
For each task, the fasteners and load are checked separately.
How to style a shelf to match the color of moldings
PKR-002 can be included in one paint batch with moldings and wall panels.
Color, gloss, and patina must be consistent on a single sample, otherwise carvings and straight profiles will look disjointed.
Versailles is chosen only when consciously combined with ready-made moldings, not by the approximate name of the shade.
How to design a shelf in the color of the door
On an entrance or interior door, the shade, gloss, and character of the wood texture are important.
PKR-002 made of beech for enamel or oak for tinting allows you to more accurately replicate the existing finish.
Ready-made Versailles is suitable if the difference is perceived as contrast, not as an unsuccessful attempt at matching.
How to connect a shelf with a ceiling cornice
The same color of the shelf and cornice helps to assemble the vertical architecture of the room.
PKR-002 is convenient if the cornice is already being painted according to the project. The shelf is included in the same schedule and test paint-out.
Versailles works as an independent item if its color is supported by furniture or a mirror frame.
How to choose a wall background
On a light wall, a white shelf can almost blend in, while a dark tint will become a strong accent.
Against a rich background, RAL 9010 looks contrasting; 'cherry' and 'walnut with patina' create a warm classic pair.
PKR-002 allows you to choose an intermediate shade, but requires a test sample directly next to the wall.
How to use side lighting
Side lighting emphasizes carving and patina, but also reveals enamel drips and uneven gloss.
PKR-002 is evaluated after a test sample under the same lighting that will be in the room.
Versailles is examined next to the light fixture before installation, so that shadows do not make the composition too heavy.
How to match two shelves from the same batch
Paired items must match in material, finish, and gloss level.
PKR-002 is painted simultaneously and not separated into different workshops.
Finished Versailles are received nearby, checking the color under the same light before installation on different walls.
How to compile a finishing specification for PKR-002
The specification indicates the wood species, color code, primer, number of coats, gloss, patina, and decorative highlighting areas.
It is separately recorded what exactly is included in the product order and what is done by an external workshop.
Without such a document, complex finishing easily turns into a set of verbal wishes.
How to accept PKR-002 after painting
Check color uniformity, relief preservation, absence of drips, and condition of installation areas.
The shelf is compared to the approved sample, not just the code on the can.
Damage is identified before installation to avoid masking it on the wall.
How to accept a finished Versailles
They check the selected finish option, the condition of the relief, corners, and platform.
The product is examined under daylight and artificial lighting.
If a pair is purchased, both shelves are compared side by side before drilling the wall.
How to calculate a pair for a mirror
First, measure the width of the mirror and the free wall spaces on the sides.
The shelf templates are placed symmetrically and checked to ensure the passage does not narrow.
A depth of 225 mm is especially important in the hallway, where doors and cabinets open nearby.
How to calculate a composition above a console
The center of the shelf or pair is aligned with the axis of the console and mirror.
A single shelf can stand above the central part of the furniture, two — on the sides of the mirror.
The height is chosen based on the overall composition and objects, without assigning a universal distance.
How to choose a single or paired installation
One shelf is suitable for a small wall space and a standalone decorative item.
A pair is appropriate around a mirror, fireplace, or central painting.
Two shelves double the requirements for symmetry, color matching, and fastener calculation.
How to select items for a pair of shelves
Symmetrical compositions can include identical candlesticks, small vases, or different objects of similar scale.
The weight of each side must correspond to its own fastening.
Do not compensate for visual emptiness with heavy objects without checking the load.
When the shelf works as an independent decor
The carved form is expressive enough to leave the area empty or place one small object.
PKR-002 in the wall color gives a more architectural effect, Versailles gives a furniture effect.
This scenario reduces the risk of overload and highlights the quality of the carving.
Why a finished item is more convenient than a random blank
A random shelf may not have confirmed dimensions, material, and prepared surface.
PKR-002 and Versailles provide clear geometry of 415 × 355 × 225 mm and two transparent purchase routes.
The buyer only needs to choose the finish, location, and fasteners, rather than creating a carved form from scratch.
How to calculate the project budget with PKR-002
First, consider the price of the shelf itself, then finishing materials, a sample, workshop work, possible transportation, packaging after painting, and installation.
If patina, two colors, or gilding is planned, each operation is recorded in a separate line.
This calculation shows the real cost of the installed product and allows you to honestly compare it with the finished Versailles.
How to calculate the project budget with Versailles
In the finished version, the main finish is already determined by the selected execution.
Delivery, fasteners, installer work, and possible accompanying items are added to the cost.
The absence of a separate workshop makes the estimate shorter and clearer, but does not eliminate checking the wall and load.
How to compare timelines without error
Both cards indicate an average production time to order of 5–10 days.
For PKR-002, a separate finishing stage begins after manufacturing, so the full route is usually longer.
Versailles reaches installation faster only if the finished color is suitable and no rework is required.
When complex finishing is truly justified
Custom finish is needed if the shelf is part of a large project with a unified color of doors, furniture, panels, and moldings.
It is also justified for a rare shade, special patina, or exact replication of existing furniture.
For a single small shelf without strict color requirements, ready-made Versailles may be more practical.
When ready-made color saves the most time
Ready-made finish is especially convenient in a completed apartment, gift scenario, or renovation without an in-house joinery workshop.
The buyer does not need to coordinate the technology, transport the product between contractors, or accept intermediate stages.
The main condition is the actual match of the chosen color with the interior.
How not to confuse patina with regular tinting
Tinting changes the overall color of the wood, patina additionally emphasizes recesses and relief.
Versailles "walnut with patina" — a ready-made combination of two effects.
For PKR-002, patina belongs to a separate project and should not be assumed just because the shelf is made of oak.
How not to confuse preparation for enamel with finished enamel
Preparation of beech means that the surface is designed for subsequent coating application.
Ready white Versailles has already been selected as a finished color option.
This difference determines the budget, timeline, and responsibility for the final finish.
How not to confuse preparation for tinting with finished color
Oak PKR-002 is ready for further tinting, but the specific shade has not yet been set.
Versailles in the "cherry" or "walnut with patina" variants has a predetermined finish character.
The buyer must understand whether they are choosing a base for a workshop or a finished interior item.
How to prepare a technical specification for the workshop
The document specifies the article PKR-002, wood species, color code, gloss level, patina, highlighting areas, and the approved sample.
Requirements for mounting surfaces that cannot be covered with a thick layer of coating are recorded separately.
The technical specification reduces the risk of different interpretations of words like "white," "walnut," or "slightly aged."
How to check the color on the wall before installation
The shelf or sample is brought to the installation site and examined in the morning, afternoon, and evening.
The wall color, lamp temperature, and shadows from the carving change perception.
The decision on PKR-002 is approved before full painting, and the finished Versailles before drilling the wall.
How to check the composition with a mirror and console
First, templates of all items are laid out on the wall, then the overall height and distances are evaluated.
The shelf should not overlap the mirror, interfere with items on the console, or create too tight a grouping.
Finished products from the same collection still require dimensional verification on the specific wall.
How to choose one color for multiple rooms
PKR-002 allows you to repeat a single design shade in the living room, hallway, and study.
Versailles simplifies serial ordering if the ready-made option suits all rooms.
Under different lighting, one color is perceived differently, so samples are checked in each room.
How to choose different colors for one model
The same shape can be used in different rooms with different finishes, but within one composition it is better to maintain a uniform finish.
PKR-002 gives you the freedom to assign a separate color to each zone.
Versailles allows you to choose ready-made options without turning the order into a custom painting project.
How to prepare a wall after renovation
Paint and plaster must be completely dry and firmly adhere to the base.
The mounting scheme is determined before drilling, checking for hidden wiring and wall material.
The shelf cannot be attached only to a weak decorative layer.
How to replace an old wall shelf
First, measure the existing holes, marks on the wall, and the free area.
A new shelf 415 × 355 × 225 mm may not cover the old mounting area or may require new fasteners.
The wall finish is restored before installation, not masked by random shelf displacement.
When consultation is needed before ordering
Consultation is especially useful for non-standard walls, heavy objects, complex finishes PKR-002, and matching a ready color to existing furniture.
You need to prepare photos, wall dimensions, and base information in advance.
This way, the buyer receives an answer for a specific project, not a universal promise.
What to buy together with PKR-002 or Versailles 009-002
A wall shelf becomes part of a complete composition when the mirror, console, color, installation, and surrounding decor are coordinated. PKR-002 is more often associated with materials for custom finishing, Versailles with ready-made classic furniture. The accompanying item does not automatically confirm shade matching, so all elements are checked together.

How to check the shelf in full scale
A paper outline shows the height and width, but for a depth of 225 mm, a three-dimensional template made of cardboard or a lightweight panel is needed. It is placed on the wall next to a door, mirror, console, and passageway.
Such a mockup helps to see if the product looks too large and if it obstructs movement. For a pair, both projections are checked simultaneously.
How comparing PKR-002 and Versailles from a photo is insufficient
A photo shows the shape but does not convey the actual shade, gloss, depth of patina, and scale of 415 × 355 × 225 mm.
PKR-002 in the image may look like a finished shelf, although it requires a separate finish. Versailles may seem suitable in color but differ next to furniture.
The decision is made based on the card, sample, and template.
How to place an order for several identical shelves
For a series, specify one model, wood species, finish, and quantity. PKR-002 is painted in one batch to preserve the shade and gloss.
Versailles is also checked as a set, especially if the shelves are installed next to each other or in the same room.
Each installation location receives a separate mark for the wall and fasteners.
How to prepare a shelf for transportation after custom finishing
After painting, the threads and corners become especially sensitive to scratches. The shelf is packed with soft pads, avoiding pressure on protruding parts.
Mounting hardware should not be placed loosely near the front surface.
Before handing over to the customer, the coating is checked and a sample is kept for possible local restoration.
How to determine if a project color is needed
A project color is justified if there are large surfaces nearby that the shelf must match: doors, cabinets, paneling, or moldings.
If the product is placed separately and can be an independent accent, the finished Versailles often solves the problem without complex coordination.
The requirement for an exact match should be practical, not formal.
Final check before selection
If the buyer knows the required code, workshop, sample, and full budget, the choice leans towards PKR-002.
If one of the ready-made colors fits and you want a finished item without separate finishing, Versailles 009-002 is more rational.
In both cases, before payment, check the wall, depth 225 mm, fasteners, and future items.
How to check the solution from a normal viewing distance
The shelf is considered not only up close but also from the room entrance. At a distance, it becomes clearer whether the carving should blend with the wall or act as an independent item. PKR-002 allows finer tuning of this effect with color, Versailles provides a ready-made character.
For a pair of shelves, overall symmetry is especially important. A small difference in height or shade, unnoticeable near the wall, becomes obvious in the full composition.
How to save data for reordering
Keep the article, wood species, selected finish, photos of the installed shelf, fastening details, and approved color sample. For PKR-002, additionally record the finish recipe and the craftsman.
When expanding the interior, this data speeds up selection, but the current product card and available versions still need to be rechecked.
Why it's better to fix the solution before ordering
After manufacturing, changing the readiness level is more difficult: PKR-002 will require separate finishing, while Versailles will be supplied in the selected ready-made finish. Therefore, the color, contractor, budget, and installation scheme are approved in advance. This protects against re-transportation, repainting, and delays of the entire interior project.

Result: a shelf for custom finishing or ready-made
PKR-002 and Versailles 009-002 have the same dimensions of 415 × 355 × 225 mm and are made of beech or oak. Therefore, scale, depth, and wall placement do not determine the winner. The main fork is who is responsible for the finish and how precisely the shelf should match the interior.
PKR-002 is suitable for projects with custom enamel coating, trial tinting, complex patina, and unified finishing with furniture, doors, or moldings. The buyer receives a prepared product but separately arranges and pays for the final finishing cycle.
Versailles 009-002 is suitable for a finished interior, a private buyer, and a gift scenario. RAL 9010, "cherry" and "walnut with patina" reduce the number of contractors and allow you to obtain a completed classic piece.
On the STAVROS website, you can open both cards, compare carved shelves of other sizes, select a mirror, console, and materials. Before ordering, you need to approve the color, total budget, project timeline, and installation diagram — then a shelf of the same size will become exactly the product required by the interior.
