Wallpaper book cover

Top tip: If you’re covering multiple books, be clever when choosing your Resene wallpaper so that the designs suit the use of the book, e.g. Perhaps a food inspired wallpaper for any books, such as recipe books, you plan to use in the kitchen, a floral inspired wallpaper for any garden related books and so on. That will make it easy to remember which book to look in and where they belong.
