16 Gorgeous DIY Bookcase Makeovers
Here are some tips to have an easy time working on your DIY bookcase makeover:
- Sand and Prime: Before painting or staining your bookcase, make sure to sand it down to remove any existing finish or imperfections. Then, apply a primer to create a smooth, even surface for your paint or stain to adhere to.
- Add Wallpaper or Contact Paper: If you want to add some visual interest to your bookcase without painting it, consider adding wallpaper or contact paper to the back of the shelves. This can be a great way to add a pop of color or pattern to your space.
- Mix Up Your Shelf Styling: Once your bookcase is painted or stained, take the opportunity to mix up your shelf styling. Play with different book arrangements, add decorative objects like vases or sculptures, and incorporate plants or framed photos to create a personalized, stylish look.
