If you love Paris from afar (or simply wish you had a better Parisian view), Emmanuel Desormeaux and Jérémie Scart from Parisitic (of "I love rien. I’m parisien" fame) have created a line of trompe-l’œil matte vinyl wall stickers of iconic Paris rooftops, the Montmartre skyline, lampposts, Métro signs, Morris columns, and even faux ironwork that comes in a choice of 13 colors and three sizes and can cast a Parisian shadow in any interior.
