Zoas would be good there! I was going to say you could have Montis going off the shelf, too. Depending on what kind of flow you are getting in that area, torches/hammers would look good there.

i was thinking about lining the outside of the shelf with torches, or place one in the center, i just don’t know 😭
 
You need to just choose what you like.

I would say if you put torches around the perimeter you're going to lose visibility in to the center of the large shelf for sure. Also, give torches room, don't crowd them like I did. The do fine close, but the open up more and flow more with more space.

I'd probably do the bottom two tiers in different colored zoas and top with a hammer or torch :)
