1 Utilise shelving

Add texture to your walls by styling up a shelving unit. It’s just as simple as it sounds, and can be really cost-effective, too. Shelving units aren’t hard to come by (this one is from Bloomingville), and you can even get a little creative with an old palette or apple crates – which can often be picked up for free! Once you’ve settled on your unit, stock it with little treasures like vases, ornaments and succulents.
