Paint your own wallpaper

I just love using new and different techniques for the home and this paint roller from The Painted House is one seriously genius invention. With the flexibility to create your own painted wallpaper, paper or even fabric the diy possibilities are simply endless. It is by far a perfect way to get a wallpapered look for a fraction of the price. Don't get me wrong, I love a good paper but when covering an entire wall or even room the cost sure can add up really quick. Plus I love that you can choose what ever color you want. You can find more amazing creations at The Painted House site, shop their etsy for the collection of rollers or check out this short video of how simple it really is to create a large surface.

When pigs fly

We have all heard of magnetic paint but wallpaper? Well dang, that's pretty genius. Sian Zeng, a London based design company has gotten all kinds of creative with this interactive wallpaper {and art boards for those not looking to paper an entire wall} that could be hours of entertainment for the little ones... or the young at heart. With detailed and whimsical magnets Sian Zeng allows its users to create stories with a color background making these perfect for nurseries or even offices- you know for those times when you just hit a creative rut and just need to get your mind elsewhere. From thought bubbles to flying pigs, there is a little something for everyone to enjoy.

Beautify your backgrounds

Just another reason I need to get an iPad stat. These wallpapers available for download from Behance are just so beautiful to look at plus they are free. A win win. I suppose you could also use them as regular desktop backgrounds too but it sure would look way more spiffy on a portable tablet don't you think. I've really been into downloading new and fun backgrounds, I'm currently rocking a dotted beauty from Design Love Fest and these would be a great addition to any desktop.

A renters dream

As a long time renter plain walls have been my life but after seeing these removable wallpapers from The wall sticker company I might have to reconsider plain and boring. Made of fabric, these panels come cut to size so there is no left over waste and you can reuse them more then once, perfect for those that change up their space often. True to their name, they also carry a variety of wall stickers to add a little pizzazz here and there too.

Natural walls

After checking out these modern wallpapers, I was on the lookout for all things paper and came across these beauties from Piet Hein Eek out of Holland.  Scrapwood wallpaper, a remarkably realistic looking paper is not only eco friendly, you can wipe if clean if something happens to spill.  I just love the natural look it takes on, this is a wood paneled wall I can get behind! I can't wait to one day plaster paper all over my walls.

Harlequin Wallpapers

I just love how wallpaper is so in right now.  There are so many great patterns that give the traditional papers a new spine.  I fell in love with these super modern colors and patterns from Harlequin, from florals to geometrics to metallics, they have it all.  And they don't stop an wallpapers, be sure to check out the fabrics, bed linens and children's collections.  Love love love!  I think that bold vertical stripe is my favorite, and wowza to that small credenza!

That's some design

Now I'm usually all for bold and bright colors, but this bedroom takes the cake on matchy matchy.  At first, the bright pink and white wall paper caught my eye and I thought, oh, that's fun.  Then I came to the mirror which led me to the bed.  And for a second, I didn't even notice the corresponding orange pillows, which go perfectly with the matching blanket.  What do you think about this space?  Love it?  Hate it?  Could you live in it?

Flavor Paper

With a hole lot of glam and a touch of quirky, the folks over at Flavor Paper sure know how to make my heart sing.  Handscreened in their studio, Flavor Paper mixes vintage and modern designs in a slue of colorways to fit any decor.  And if that weren't enough, they even do custom designs.  Be sure to check out their Tropicalismo collection designed by Kravitz Design.  As in Lenny Kravitz' design firm!  A little too bold for my taste, but still fun to look at.

They even have the ever popular mustache print, although you can't really tell until its pointed out.

The Wallpaper Collective

You know my love for all things bold, and The Wallpaper Collective has not let me down.  Seems I am always stopping to look at all their gorgeous collections, I highly recommend taking a peek.  Just a few that are making my heart beat a little faster.

How fun would this be in a child's room!

A focal wall with this glamorous purple paper would really be a conversation starter.  Done in just the right amount, its simply fabulous.
