Use box shelves to create a focal point

Stylish storage solutions

Hang cubbyhole-style shelves in a grid formation for a balanced look

How to create the look

• Choose cubbyhole-style shelves and hang them directly above a dresser or side board for a balanced look.

• Paint the shelves the same colour as the wall for a co-ordinated finish.

• Pick patterned storage boxes that complement the background colour and tuck small items inside to keep the shelves tidy.

• To customise the shelves, line the backs of the cubby-holes with a bold print wallpaper.
