Turn wasted wall space into practical storage with built-in floor-to-ceiling box shelving and decorate some of the cubbyholes with bright wallpaper. Choose three different patterns in the same colour palette to keep the look smart and co-ordinated.
Top decorating trick: Use the papered boxes to display your most beautiful accessories and draw the eye away from the practical, but less pretty, things in the plain boxes.
Made-to-measure shelves, £277, Jali.
