apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

well, I think guy was VERY right... some stickers are ok, but most are pretty tacky and let's be honest if t hey weren't 100% removable most people would shy away from'em. Hence the decline of the wallpaper and the rise of designer paint.

DJlucky - "decline of wallpaper" - really? where have you been the last couple of years...

also - the barbed wire decal is pretty. pretty ugly.

I like the idea of wall decals, but can never figure out how I would make them look anything but silly in my apartment. Often I find myself focusing on the smaller designs, because they appeal to me as a way to transform a piece of used furniture.

Ok, on second thought, I now want the one that looks like a molecule to put in my bathroom with my periodic table shower curtain from Urban Outfitters. But my bathroom is silly on purpose!

So you're saying that some tacky wall sticker that looks like BARBED WIRE (a) will not go out of style (for the record, I'm pretty sure it was never in), and (b) would have changed Adolf Loos's entire philosophy about ornamentation? Seriously? Why even bring Loos into it?

I am finding it VERY hard to believe that posts like this one are not veiled advertisements for the featured products.

i guess these are the new glow-in-the-dark star stickers we used to put on our ceilings.

i think some of them look cool.

ick. i agree with moxythunder, these are about as permanent as those glow in the dark stars i stuck on my ceilings as a child (and unfortunately left permanent glue marks on my poor parents' ceilings).

You're talking of Designer wallpaper, which has gotten somewhat better VERY recently.

I'm talking about a decline of wallpaper overall. You remember wallpaper from the 70s, 80s, etc... And the reason you remember them as such is because THEY DO DATE things as soon as they're applied. As a whole, it went from a sign of luxury to the weapon of choice for a huge home-owner crowd to a decline as a "feature wall" approach, if and only if it's "designer wallpaper". I'm pretty sure Walmart would rather invest in a paint shop than a wallpaper store, and they know their bu$ine$$.

Don't feel obligated to respond, you're forgiven.

I think wall paper is out - especially when you can create your own designs take a look at these DecoSticks wall stickers and decals

Or if you fancy some bling, you should see these crystal stickers!
