How to create a storage feature wall

Functional and decorative - this box shelving is the perfect solution for a small space

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.
