Surface View Wallpaper Murals

Browsing at Retro to Go we stopped short at this amazing image. It features a super decorative, mega-sized wallpaper mural from Britain's Surface View. Surface View has a fantastic site, making trying out the huge collections of images available in their sample mod rooms an addictive pastime. Below the jump are a bunch we built...

Images available for Surface View murals are from sources as varied as the Victoria and Albert Museum collection to the Land of Lost Content British Cultural Artefacts. Vintage postcards, romance images, textiles and photography are all used.

Custom sizing, cropping, paper finish and color choices are all available, as well as fabric printing. Priced from 75/square meter.

These are fantastic! Though I can't imagine what it would be like to wake up each morning beneath that Lady of the Orient's mischievous gaze...

aren't those Tretchikoff images still under copyright? I wonder how they can do that, they're just called "lost classics" without being credited. (Tretchikoff painted those lovely greenish asian ladies....)

then again I don't know much about British copyright. Are there any american companies that do custom wall murals? There must be.

Every major city has a reprographic company. For my current design project I designed murals that are being printed on 3m films by BigInk in Seattle. I don't know if they have images to sell, but there is always Getty - another Seattle company! There are also great websites with cheaper royalty free images.

I once tried to place an order... and no one ever got back to me. Which is annoying.

At first glance, I thought you made a mural of a tampax ad and was really confused!

I have seen this before and I absolutely adore it....as soon as my husband and I move into our "retirement home" (5-10 years), I plan on doing this for sure.

Would not like the ones with people in them. Also might tend to want and tone them down some.
Really like the bird one and also the lemon one if it were
a bit softer somehow, or just large stems and leaves without the lemons.

I haven't seen this exact thing before, but kudos to AT on not posting about the rasterbator in about a month or possibly 2!

I am a new AT reader and enjoy it very much. I find the AT readers that CONSTANTLY complain about repeats a bore. Why not just move on to something you DO like rather than punching AT in the face? I support your right to complain, but I've quickly grown tired of your attitude. Why even exert the effort to complain about something you get for nothing? Stop whining and give AT the credit they deserve.
