What if you woke up and little people were climbing over the pictures on your walls? Design group nendo and designer Oki Sato designed this climbing wall for the Illoiha Fitness Center in the Omotesando district of Tokyo.

Wall Decor Meets Drywall in a Modern Love Affair at modularArts
For a texture lover like me, modularArts drywall is very exciting. It makes any accent wall pop and I love the depth created with different lighting techniques for a seductive evening look, or poppin’-bright texture in the light of day.
Don’t have the budget? I can imagine laying down some pieces of plywood, spreading [...]
Wall Decor: Clotheslines
I’ve always been drawn to clotheslines. Seems like there’s always a romantic scene around clotheslines in movies. Here’s a cheerful one. Have you ever dried clothes outside in the winter and later discovered an icicle of a shirt? And then there’s talk of airing out your dirty laundry, which [...]
Free, Green Wall Decor from Repurposed Materials
Picking right up from yesterday’s cardboard inspirations, here is a new idea in repurposing otherwise wasted materials.
You’ve probably seen a trend in expensive 3D wall panels and 3D wallpaper. This is free. All you need to do is ask your local grocer to take their fruit trays off their hands. I just got a box and tried it out in our living room. You can hang them with the rounded side out or the ribbed side out.
These trays generally come in beige and purple. I am thinking of spray painting them red and covering an entire wall in the bedroom for a striking effect. I’ll let you know how it goes. Best part is…if I’m over it one day, it only cost me the price of spray paint.
What’s your two cents? Would you do this? Don’t care? Hate it? Love it? For an alternative, cheap wallpaper look, there’s always newspaper. Also check out this DIY cardboard chair.

The pixelated look reminds me of this ingenious graphic DIY bed.
Here are some more great outside spaces for summer outdoor inspiration.

Wall Decor: Decals that are Bad A**
Badass Custom Decals have some large, mural size wall decals. I am personally over wall decals, but I am making an exception here because I love the large size and the selection that you can get. The company has an Etsy store where you can order your own custom decal. I also [...]
