Cover in wallpaper or Fabric or Contact or Paint
I use clear transparent paper it has sizes you can cut and fit on the boxes
You can also paint them and add trim. Depending on what you use them for, you can decide how to decorate them. For drawers I use boxes from coffee K-cups and usually cover them with contact paper. Sometimes I use clear packing tape to seal the edges. The ones I paint are usually the ones that I am leaving out on a dresser. You can use chalk paint or any other paint. Just don't overload the cardboard with paint. I use old cereal boxes for magazine files. Shoe boxes are handy for keeping smaller items in.
decoupage the outside of the box with a pretty fabric. Just put the glue on the box and apply the fabric dont put the decoupage over the fabric.
