Today we are sharing one of the coolest and easiest ways to add some life to a boring piece of furniture: the bookcase. A great backdrop for a book collection and other trinkets a bookcase often sits back and lets other design elements take centre stage. This chic and modern DIY project gives new life to these pieces, and is so easy you will wonder why you haven’t thought of it sooner! Check out this great tutorial from Simple Details.

Choose a bold geometric pattern in black and white for a classic backdrop for colourful items to display.

A metallic in a small scale pattern will draw the eye and catch lots of light for big impact. We love how they have mixed pastels with the gold polka dots, and added a silver vase to mix it up!

Pick a bright cheery yellow colour for an eclectic and vibrant feel. Leaving the shelving white makes it easy to replace the wallpaper in a couple years when your style has changed or you are wanting to switch it up! Wallpapering the inside of a bookcase is one of thesafest way to add super trendy patterns and styles and is so simple and cheap to replace- you will be looking for nooks and crannies to decoupage!
