Until you amass a heavy collection of books that you'll probably never read, the Bookshelf Wallpaper by Young & Battaglia can provide a sense of faux intelligence. Found on TheFancy and available in white and vintage, the wallpapers are available at Rokett St George and run £70.00 for each 55 x 300cm roll.
As per the definition of minimalism, less equates to more, which is usually why I tend to tread away from wallpaper, letting big swaths of color make their own statement. In the case of Graham & Brown, wallpaper exploits minimalism to add flavor to your walls, and from $60 to $75 a roll, it's a great alternative if art is outside your budget. Check out the many designs at 2Modern, all available with free shipping.
