DIY library: give life to your shelves with wallpaper

Libraries are much more than simple storage furniture. They are a reflection of our love for reading, our personality, and our lifestyle. So why not make them even more special by customizing them with wallpaper? In this article, we will show you how to transform an ordinary library into an elegant and original centerpiece thanks to a little DIY and creativity.

What you will need:

• A shelving library
• Wallpaper of your choice
• Wallpaper glue
• Scissors
• Un cutter
• A brush and a roller
• A bucket of water
• Chiffon

Step 1: Prepare the library

Start by emptying the library of all the books and objects that you have stored. You want to have a blank canvas to work. If your library has removable shelves, it’s time to remove them to facilitate work.

Step 2: Choose your wallpaper

The key to a successful library lies in the choice of tapping. Think of the aesthetics of the room and your personal style. The geometric patterns, delicate florals or even an imitation wood panoramic wallpaper can create magnificent visual effects.

Step 3: Measure and cut

Measure each shelf of the library and cut the wall poster into pieces of the right size. Make sure to leave a small surplus on each side to be able to adjust it perfectly.

Step 4: Apply the glue

Apply the wallpaper glue on the shelf using a brush or a roller. Be generous with glue, but don’t let it drip.

Step 5: Place the wallpaper

With care, place the piece of wallpaper on the shelf. Smooth it gently with a clean cloth to remove air bubbles. Use a cutter or a razor blade to cut excess wallpaper along the edges of the shelf.

Step 6: Repeat for each shelf

Repeat the process for each shelf of your library. Make sure the patterns correspond well from one shelf to another for a harmonious look.

Step 7: Leave to dry and reassemble

Let the tapestry dry completely. Then reappear your library by putting the shelves back in place and putting your books and objects back on.

Step 8: Admire your work

The end result should be a unique and elegant library that adds a touch of personality to your space. You now have a centerpiece that will attract all eyes and reflect your style.

DIY of a library with wallpaper is a creative way to express your personal style while giving new life to an existing piece of furniture. So let your creativity express themselves and transform your shelves into a functional work of art.
