Wallpaper can add so much drama to a house, which is what interior designers strive to do.  It is a fantastic way to add a touch of whimsy or class to a space.  It can be less expensive than having a mural painted on an accent wall, and have just as dramatic of an effect.  With so many great papers to choose from, you are sure to find something that strikes a chord with you, and there are some amazing resources, such as Stockton Hicks Laffey here in Austin, that carry amazing lines ( “To The Trade”).

If Salvador Dali was alive today, I am sure he would have this surreal wallpaper in his home.  Surrealien is a German based company that has developed a process of placing wallpaper so that it looks distorted by the objects it surrounds.  They do it by taking careful measurements of your space and the things that are on or within the walls (doorways, wall sconces, that perfect piece of art) and designing the paper for your interior space specifically.  This is a very cool commercial application, but it could be a little too much for the average homeowner’s everyday living.  Either way, it is intriguing.  For more on Surrealien, go to http://www.surrealien.de/Surrealien.pdf.
