apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time


Wallflats

Wallflats embossed wall tiles remind me of plaster mouldings in a clean modern aesthetic. The tiles are made of paper. You can cut them to size and install them yourself...

Their adhesive backs are removeable (but not reuseable) for when you move, so they're perfect for spiffing up a rented apartment.

The white-on-white texture of the tiles looks like traditional tin reliefs or plaster wall panels, but in sharp braile or check patterns.

I like the last one! I think there used to make wallpapers like that in the 80's too

I'd really like to know if anyone has applied these. I've been eyeing the seesaw design for months now, but was scared off after reading the recommended application instructions. Which I must say are much more complicated than peel and stick.

Lovely, the last two may end up in my house. Really clean aesthetic. But, what I really want to know is can anyone identify the vase? Thanks...

The glass vase is the Tipi vase from Ikea.

has anyone painted these? is it as easy (or difficult - depending on your viewpoint) as it seems in the instructions posted on the web?

All those projections from the wall looks like another thing to dust if you ask me.

In an effort to "mod" my ugly off-yellow fridge, today I covered my it with the Inhabit Wallflats in the "braille" pattern. We'll see how well they hold up on a often-used appliance in the kitchen. It's an experiment. They were indeed easy to adhere. I cut them with a Xacto knife and although it's not the cleanest cut, I think they turned out well. They are made of bamboo pulp so when you cut them, the edge "frays" and lots of little scraps of paper come off and tear and it's a bit messy, but the panels butt up to each nicely.

I followed the wallflats link and clicked around, but I can't find the item that resembles molding and is featured in the small, third photo. Where is the picture from, and where can I buy the product?

Thanks.

beautyunassuming - I think that's an example of a "traditional tin relief or plaster wall panel" that these are being compared to, not an example of the actual product.

Great timing...I was just looking for paper tiles...I'd like to use them to make a headboard...I'd love to hear from anyone else who has used them...

I'm considering Inhabit's Seesaw or Mio's V2:

I know I've seen these other places, does anyone remember any other manufacturers?

squeakymcgee,

Your fridge looks fantastic! The dots are much bigger than I imagined them to be. Thanks for sharing.

I like them but it would be too expensive to do a wall in my place...

I swear. There is just NO love out there for folks with textured plaster walls. No decals or anything will stick to my walls.

Which are already nice in their own right. But I'd like a little variety.

Anyone else have a similar issue and a fab solution?
