Decorative rectangular bookshelf boxes

I really like the idea of wallpapering the inner back of plain white shelving, so you can see colourful wallpaper showing through, but it can be a bit of a fiddle to do on existing shelves, especially if they’re packed with books.

These bookshelf boxes are great, as they come ready wallpapered, so there’s no hard work involved. You could use them for storing books in, or simply use the shelves for displaying other home accessories and ornaments. The less you put in them, the more the wallpaper will show through.

The bookshelf boxes come in sets of two, in a choice of green or purple, and are available from Camel and Yak.
