Styling Bookcases

How do you style your bookcase?
One thing is for sure, it doesn't have to be boring or used to store just books.


Use an open or closed case to store and display shoes.
Add wicker baskets for added texture and to hide unsightly objects.
Decorate with the same color to create a uniformed clean look.
Add curtains from ceiling to floor to create drama.
Customize your case by using different patterned wallpaper or gift wrap in the same color as backing.
Paint the back of the case a bold color to make accessories pop.
And here is how I styled my Ikea Expedit bookcase.
