Curved Edge Slatted Ledge with Concealed LED Backlighting How to Make Integrating subtle ambient backlighting behind a slatted floating shelf unit creates soft nighttime illumination in modern rustic bathrooms. Build a rectangular wall panel using vertical timber slats mounted onto a recessed rear frame, rounding the top two corners of the panel with a jigsaw for a soft, curved silhouette. Adhere a flexible, waterproof warm white LED light strip along the hidden backside of the rear frame. Attach a single thick wooden floating shelf plank across the front of the slatted panel. Apply a natural oak finish to the entire wooden structure. Mount the unit on a focal wall and plug the LED lights into a switch-controlled outlet. The soft backlight casts gentle illumination through the slat gaps, transforming the shelf into a functional nightlight and relaxing bath feature.
