The No-Fail Way to Decorate a Bookcase
This is the easiest way to decorate a bookcase, that anyone can do! It's also cheap if you have lots of books lying around. And the best part is it goes with pretty much every decor style since it's just a simple look.
For more decorating ideas, check out my blog.
All you need for this is:
- books (I prefer hardback cover books)
- white wrapping paper (I got mine at the dollar store)
- Scissors
- bookends (I prefer a neutral color)
We're going old-school with this! Remember the days of covering your books in school? Do they still do that?!
Just use the wrapping paper to cover each and every book.
For this step, you can either stack your books on top of each other or set them up and use a bookend.
I personally like to invert the books and have the pages stick outward.
I used both antique books and new books, so you can see the page color differences between them. I really like mixing old with new!

Genious! I love it the entire room very elegant.

I think it looks very pretty and you did a great job. But I’ve never understood the logic of covering up the title of the book or putting them in the bookcase backwards. The pages must get more dusty and you have to take out a lot of books to find the one you’re looking for.
