Both options are hung from a screw in your wall.
Option 1
Bracket fixed to the back side

A couple of large cable ties one at the bottom and one at the top as a cheaper alternative.

1.It's hard to paint PVC but if you are going to give it a go 1st start with a light sand and then a couple of coats of primer before the final coat of colour.
2. Wrap it in basic school book contact or go online and by some carbon fibre looking sticker in any colour you like for around $5 or $6.

3. Grab a handful of Sharpie markers and go to town. Draw whatever floats your boat.
4. It can be stained but it is a slow costly process trust me I've tried it.
