Paint and wallpaper offer ways to add some style to your plain bookshelf, but a fun way to add color, design and texture is to cover your bookshelf’s backing with some interesting fabric. A bold design will create visual interest, and shiny fabrics can add a sense of depth to the shelf and brighten up the items on it.
