Another quick and easy BESTA makeover is the use of grasscloth.
What I love about grasscloth is the range is so wide for design and color.
This means you could choose the one that best matches the rooms interior.
My favorite grasscloth for projects like this is the peel and stick variety.
The use of asymmetrical shelving also creates the perception of depth.
This feature makes it perfect for making small rooms appear larger.
