I just went through this myself consolidating all the household bookcases into one room. I don't know what is available in the UK, but I purchased maybe 12 cheap (on sale) small bookcases that were 2 or 3 shelves each and just stacked them to whatever conformation was needed. Left a few open spaces for plants or artwork. The bookcases are laminate fake oak or some type of light wood. Painting the walls a nice warm color goes a long way to get rid of the "dark and foreboding" look.
