Wallpaper Box Shelves

Here’s  a clever idea if you are thinking of some DIY, spotted here.  In this, they use wine crates but you could easily use a wooden box or fix a square or rectangle of shelves to the wall and wallpaper the wall.  I’m liking the Orla Kiely wallpaper but you could of course use any wallpaper to fit in with your design scheme.

My favourite is the ‘Spring’ colourway where the ever so dainty and select use of various colours really highlights little details every so subtly, from the lighting wicks on the candles to the teardrop detailing.  This is a very special wallpaper and would look divine in a girl’s or a lady’s bedroom or a dining room.

Fit for a manor but will look equally well in semi-d’s
