Here's a take on artwork that doesn't just go "on" your wall, it becomes your wall.
This is a great tip I got from Jane Mount, who was a 3rd place finisher in our 2006 Smallest Coolest Apartment Contest. She wanted to give her bedroom the feeling of a "cozy thicket" and create a space that was a retreat from the rest of the apartment...
Being a designer with a good sense of humor and plenty of DIY experience, she covered her bedroom closets (Ikea) with a huge mural that she had made by a company called Gallery Street in Roswell, Georgia (above - the other direction is below).
The picture of the forest is her own. She just emailed them the file and they send back the mural in the size requested.

I have a fondness for the 70's woodsy wallpaper mural as my childhood friend's parents had the "autumn yellow leaves" version of this in their family room complete with wood paneling on the three other walls and brown shag carpeting. Many an afternoon was spend with this in my peripheral vision as we soaked in hours of cartoons, Love American Style, Carol Burnett reruns, and Brady Bunch repeats.
