Description
Featuring a compact design that has been crafted with smaller spaces in mind, The Ballatta shelving unit has two fixed and two adjustable shelves that make it perfect for personalising open plan living rooms. Ideal for holding books or keepsakes, move the two adjustable shelves, which sit on the rungs of the spindled sides, as your please. With a look that is both pared back and timeless, the Ballatta is crafted from solid oak and oak veneers and finished with a clear matt lacquer for a look that complements most decors and colour schemes.
Our Stylist Says
I’m a fan of the Ballatta shelf for its light, open feel and natural oak finish - it brings warmth without looking bulky. The slim frame and slatted sides suit Scandi, modern coastal or mid-century interiors, and it’s flexible enough to complement both muted neutrals and bolder accent walls.
To style it, mix books arranged vertically and horizontally with small art objects or ceramics, then balance with woven baskets or storage boxes on lower tiers. Introduce a couple of trailing plants or sculptural vases to soften the lines, and vary heights and textures so each shelf feels intentional rather than overcrowded.

About Barker and Stonehouse
Founded in 1946, Barker and Stonehouse offer a diverse range of stylish and timeless pieces. From contemporary to traditional designs, Barker and Stonehouse brings sophistication and comfort to every room.
Born from the vision of two young RAF men, Charles Barker and Alex Stonehouse, Barker and Stonehouse emerged as a beacon of hope, infusing post-war Britain with a hint of glamour. Starting from a single store in Stockton on Tees, their entrepreneurial spirit led to rapid expansion, opening multiple stores across the region.
Their fast growth was fueled not only by their flair for business but also by their dedication to innovation. The business transformed over the years, adapting to the changing landscapes of retail, all while preserving its charm and values. By 2021, they marked an impressive 75 years in the industry, a testament to their enduring commitment to quality and customer service.
From the very start, Barker and Stonehouse has held a deep commitment to the environment. This devotion was showcased through initiatives such as the Trees4Trees Project, a reforestation effort in Indonesia.
Ensuring that for every tree used in their products, more than two were replanted, nearly 1.5 million trees have been restored under this initiative.
Their Knaresborough store, one of the greenest retail stores in the UK, further underscores their dedication to sustainable practices. As a cherry on top, by 2021, the company achieved the status of "Carbon Neutral Plus", making them a trailblazer in the furniture industry.
Over the decades, Barker and Stonehouse didn't just expand in number, but in the quality and innovation of their spaces. From opening their iconic store in Battersea, London, which beautifully preserved the characteristics of an old candle factory, to their latest state-of-the-art Gateshead store in 2023, every location tells a story.
They have also ventured into digital realms, ensuring a vast online presence and offering a wide range of products to customers all over the UK. Their partnerships, like the one with Fenwick in 2021, illustrate their adaptability and constant quest to reach new audiences.
