These are great fun for an accent wall, especially if painted!

Um, how about "Hot! It looks like soundproofing."

I think it's too self-consciously hip for a home. It would be nice for a bar or a lounge, but I think it would look like it's trying too hard at home.

why add any more surfaces to dust? pretty but not worth the future cleaning time or allergies. maybe in a public bar / chillout room.

I like the groovy design. If you have a good housekeeper, go for it in your lounge.

Something like this would be great in the sleeping area in my loft. Any idea how you attach these to the wall?

I've really fallen for the Braille Wall Flats and I am highly considering to install them in my entry hallway of my loft.

I'll echo AlmostAD's comment.

It's hot. It looks like soundproofing. And, you know what? I bet it does a good job of calming down the hollow sound big/long rooms can have.

Just bought a home built in the 1950s that never had a make-over session since it was built... except for the brick textured wall covering on most of the living room , family room and kitchen. Lovely in it's day, I'm sure, but probably part of the reason the house sat on the market so long and we got such a good deal on it. Rather than cover it all with drywall - the only option to "get rid" of it - I left an accent wall up. Painted white, it has a slight urban appeal... though my house is decidedly modern and it doesn't really fit. My point is, sometimes those 3-d wall treatments are more trouble than they're worth...
