Hide them (if you are like me :)) with some fabulous drapes or why not Ikeas bookcases with mirror doors. That way, you hide the clutter, reduce dust and you open up the room with the mirrors. Love it!
You can also paint the bookcases in an accent color that complements the room. With this example, you get more lovely color and you get a feature wall in one!
In the above two pictures they have removed some shelves to create a box for art....love this! You can also paint that box in a different color to create a little bit of drama. Don't forget the lighting!
You can also use some cheap Billy bookcases from Ikea and buy moulding that you can add to the top and to some to create that X pattern on the doors. Very stylish and the "Billy" feel disappears.
Zoe's Modern Mint Nursery with Gold, Pink, and Black Accents Zoe's Nursery Lizzie Stewart of 346 Living set out to create a space for her daughter Zoe's nursery that was both reflective of Lizzie's style, but also a calming, peaceful space for Zoe that would grow with her. The result is this beautiful modern space that is sophisticated, feminine and clean with a touch of glam. Lizzie fell in love with a pale mint, pink, black, and gold palette, and it works so well for this space. After a lot of hunting, she finally found the perfect shade for the walls, Lighter Mint by Sherwin Williams.

Lizzie styled the room quite smartly for the budget by: 1) Reusing items she already had, like the antique dresser and gold mirrored side table 2) Going DIY on a few pieces, like the IKEA drapes she trimmed in grosgrain ribbon and pom pom trim for the closet ones and the crib s...
DIY Moroccan-Style Wall Stencil Tutorial **UPDATE! If you have any trouble making your walls snazzy, visit my FAQ post on this tutorial. I got lots of questions, so there're all here for you should you need some help.** I jazzed up my wall with a DIY Moroccan-style pattern. And, the best part about this project?... it was completely free. One Pampers box and some leftover paint later and I really like my wall :) 1. Find a Moroccan-ish shape you like online and print it out whatever size you want (Google images is a good place to go). The larger you go... the less work it is. I had to tile mine onto 4 sheets of paper, then tape them together. Don't worry about the design being all blurry if it is, you can fix that in a minute. Once it's all taped, fold the paper in quarters and cut out your shape. When you unfold it, you will have a symmetrical pattern even if it started off blurry. Here is the shape I used if you want to do the same. Originally I was going to add that ce...
