‘A Cup of Chic’ – Home Deco & Style


Shelves don’t have to be a place where books and object are just thrown on top of each other, de-clutter and make a statement out of them!

I love making neutral shelving units the main focus of a room by displaying picture frames, books and favorite toys on them, as shown here;


Living etc magazine


Resurrect ugly shelving units by painting them bright colors or covering them in statement wallpaper, like this room, which has even incorporated the bed into the shelving unit;


Cookie magazine


Reuse old cabinet carcasses from another room by repainting them and attaching them to a wall to create open box displays;


Living etc magazine

Use a contrasting color on the back of the shelving unit and place brightly colored objects on the shelves. The pink walls on this picture really make the yellow objects pop.
