What Houzz contributors are saying:
Shelving. For a more demure living room application, consider applying wallpaper to the back of shelves or glass-doored cabinets. Books and picture frames look great in the foreground, and an area this size can usually be covered by just a single roll.
10. Add wallpaper. Another way to add interest is to wallpaper the back of a bookshelf. This is usually easiest when you have removable shelves, but you can also cut the paper into individual rectangles. Apply it like normal wallpaper, or simply use double-sided tape in the corners for a temporary and easy installation.
Or wallpaper the backs of the shelves. I recommend this only if they are fairly spare. If the shelves are chockablock full (and there’s nothing wrong with that), the wallpaper will be blocked.Here’s where Houzzer comments are such a huge help: In a previous Houzz envy ideabook, you suggested using cut-to-fit foam-core boards wrapped in a favorite wallpaper or other quality paper for a great look.
Behind shelves. Create interest in a room by wallpapering the backs of bookshelves. Highlighting bookshelves in this way makes a special display space for treasured accessories and family photos.
You can also choose to make the background wall of your bookshelf pop with its own color or pattern. Leave lots of open space, as you'll want to show off your new accent wall.
What Houzzers are commenting on:
Like pattern..could do a different color. PATTERN is interesting.
I love the idea of wallpaper behind built in shelves.
