Pretty up your world! (or the dream walls in your head, at least!)
 

I was wasting time looking at this website --> https://www.bouf.com/

I found this before Christmas; I made a Pinterest board of things I liked to help my mum, as she says I'm horrible to buy for. xD The thing I pinned from this site was an egg slicer xD

Cute, right?

Today I'm idly looking at their wallpaper, which is hellishly expensive, but pretty damn cool too! I started wondering what ones people would pick if they had that kind of cash to splash around (cos you all know I'm a nosy mare).

So take a look and link to your favourites! (right click on the image and copy image location, paste into [IMG] tags [yes])
I want to see how different people's choices are =3

I wonder if mine tell any deep, dark secrets about me. [:O]

This is seriously cool, but you'd need an equally cool place to be able to pull it off. When I have my San Francisco loft apartment redone I'll have a wall with this on it. [whatev]

Beach huts!

A quintessentially Brit thing; some beach huts sell for £50,000 you know! These on a bathroom wall would be awesome!

World map

I love maps on the wall, so the whole wall covered by a giant one? Bring it on!

Cute!

This is kind of childish I suppose, but I think it would be lovely on a bedroom wall!

I really like a lot of the vintagey look ones too, but they need such a big room to do them justice. I can totally see why people get into interior design. I'd love to have the creative talent to be able to see a blank space and have the vision and ability to turn it into something amazing. Not something that I possess though, so I'll just look at sites like this and bow to others' skills. [ninja]

I don't think this is going to surprise anybody, but my yen is for reproduction wallpaper, a la this company:
Historic Victorian Art Wallpapers | Bradbury & Bradbury

This is the one that seems particularly usable, and therefore captured my imagination

I could coordinate with some of this:
Aesthetic

Mmmm.

I like the idea of a world map on my wall...we used to have an outdated one as a poster which was great for reference for the places that hadn't changed...

I used to stick posters of celebrities that would come with teenager magazines...these days most of the things I stick on my wall are photos, drawings and stuff I've created myself over the years...

I've been in this house ten years and I haven't actually finished decorating the walls yet [oops]

This is the first one that caught my eye you nosy mare xP

I was looking for a craft project I had done, and look what at this wall sticker I found in the image results [drool]
Silly Walks Cross Stitch Wall Stripe Fabric Wall Sticker by Chocovenyl

I just want all my walls to be giant whiteboards that I can write all over. When I'm working on a problem, I like to do several extra pages of work with diagrams to help me visualize things, so having big whiteboards would save me a lot of paper. It would also look awesome. xD

Hmm I suppose i could list the ones that catch my eye.

That Whitby one is appealing. Fishing boats have zero appeal to me, but because it's not coloured the industrial/commercial vibe isn't there for me. What hits me first is the movement of the waves, and the seagulls. It's restful and calming, I totally see where you're coming from with this one, as it's not one I'd immediately choose either (I clearly didn't when I looked through them myself) but seeing it now, I like it.

Okay, I picked quite a few. lol
I think these two flowers are pretty and could be nice in a living space

I think these trees would look really pretty in a bedroom. Maybe behind the bed or next to it.

And this just made me think of my mom. She would love to have this.

These would be awesome on a big accent wall, wouldn't they? That islands view through a window is pretty spectacular [:O] That would be pretty amazing to look at while you were drifting towards sleep. In a dark room it might even look real, you could fall asleep to the sound of imaginary waves lapping against the deck outside the window :D

Ooh. Yeah, you have a great point there. That's very true, and could be pretty relaxing.

Of the site jelly posted. this was the one I most like, as a livable thing:

But I found this quite appealing as well:

I was interested by this manufacturer's use of Godward's paintings:
Naufragio from Studio Arterie | Made By Studio Arterie | £565.00 | BOUF

And was tickled that this one was inspired by Saki's short stories:
Beastly Chronicles Wallpaper (Cornfield Yellow) from Emma Molony | Made By Emma Molony | £65.00 | BOUF
eeeeeee.

I love that owl ones, Bigs! That super expensive one would look astonishing in a huge room. Maybe if you had a swimming pool with a classical look or something.

Ooh, now there's an idea! Yeah, I think that would work well. I'm imagining one with an outside wall that's all windows. The concept of it would work better in that type of space rather than a "closed" room

Better get onto your architect now ;D

These are pretty cool:

I'd probably end up going with the concrete brick or the Moonlight Manhattan.

I like oddly snapped bookshelves but other than that I don't normally look at furniture and stuff...

//clicks the link

I love this one! Rooms with bare brick walls look great, I think. And when they're old bricks, so much the better!

Agreed there were other brick wall designs but it's the aged, torn look that drew me to this one.

I actually do have a new bedroom to think about designing as we are moving to my grandparent's old house in June. My mother and I have discussed an accented wall and I picked out an ancient shade of red quite similar to that of this brick wallpaper.

I know I'd struggle with decorating anywhere. I have so little creativity with things like that it's embarrassing. [blush] This is where sites like Pinterest, and ones like I linked to in this thread, come into their own. ><

I have a music room in the basement, and if there weren't pipes all over the stinkin place down there this would be lovely:

Can I wallpaper my ceiling?

>.> But if I had to choose, I think my walls would be DRAGONS!
