Warp Your Wall

[livius drusus]

Check out this hot surrealist wallpaper company: SURREALIEN (http://www.surrealien.de/). They take measurements of a wall, use a grid system and a computer to create warping effects, then print you out a wallpaper that makes your room look like something from that episode of the Simpsons where Homer enters the 3 dimensional world.

I think that totally rules, even though it would probably make me boot if I had it on my walls.

This wallpaper is spoooky! I wonder how many people notice it when they see it.

[livius drusus]

It probably depends on the pattern. Some of the more active graphic designs might be less noticeably warped than, say, the lined ones.

My wife'd never allow it, or I would SO get me some of that. I particularly like the first pic.

[livius drusus]

Me too. The pattern and the sconces make sweet, sweet music together. :yup:

[Watser?]

May need to get some when they ban shrooms over here :giggles:

[Legs]

ANY wallpaper I've EVER put up looked warped :laugh:

Man I suck at wallpapering.

That's pretty cool though :nod:

[livius drusus]

Wallpapering is definitely not a job I'd try to take on myself. :shudder:

[Leesifer]

I particularly like the first pic.

Me too! In fact, my lounge has an uplit bulb in a red shade on each wall (3 walls). Oh, without the warping effect, I hasten to add.

I hate, I mean HATE, wallpaper. I'd rather do a thousand different kind of tricks using paint and drywall mud than put up wallpaper.

[livius drusus]

You hate the finished product or you hate having to put it up?

Oh, I agree. I detest wallpaper. Although I detest stenciling more. The previous owners of our house stenciled everything with damn birds and butterflies. I finally had to paint the bathroom because looking at that crap every morning made me want to blow my brains out.

[Dingfod]

You hate the finished product or you hate having to put it up?Both. Even worse, removing old wallpaper.

[Cynical-Chick]

I hate wallpaper too, but holy shit, I want! :homdrool:

[But]

Bah. I'm just building a "printer" hooked up to my parallel port that paints the walls of my room with a giant spherically projected fractal.

I'm serious. :yup:

[livius drusus]

I bet it would come out looking like tie-dye. What are you, some kind of computer math nerd hippy hybrid? :narrow:

That pretty much sums up the whole fractal scene.

Ewww! How can something so tasty look so gross? :shudder:

Just you wait

Oh my dawg, I am having a flash back. Watser? help me down off this bad trip! Oh wait, you're too busy with the shroomz. NM.

I detest wall paper too, always makes me feel like I'm in a trailer. Just add some cheap paneling on one wall and voila! Trailer Trash! Ok, I exaggerate, but it does make me think that. I would rather have an artist paint a beautiful mural than put up wall paper.

Having said all that, that first wall paper with the sconces is pretty darn cool! Maybe one wall then.

[Godwhacker]

Hey! If that were truly a fractal fruit, couldn't it feed the whole world, because you could never really finish eating it all (there would always be another, albeit, smaller, bite???)

Normally I detest wallpaper too but I have to admit that perhaps with the right design, color, and limited usage of it, it would be a quite lovely home decor. I think I would draw the line at only just one wall being wallpapered.

The other day when watching a movie, there was a bedroom scene and I noticed that the wall where the master bed was up against was wallpapered with an intricate design while rest of the walls were painted. It was a striking effect.

;) Keep in mind it was a movie. Perhaps a "wallpaper" backdrop and two movable walls?

Also, noticing the wallpaper in a bedroom scene is a real mood killer.
