STAND-OUT SHELVING
A plain bookshelf becomes an interesting feature when the frame is painted a bold colour that contrasts with the palette of the room. Here, the shelves have been given a coat of telephone box red paint, which stands out against the pale wall and ceiling. The shelves can be complemented by using decorative touches in similar shades in other furniture, furnishings or a rug. This will bring cohesion to the room without detracting from the wall feature.
