To Cover Your Walls: It Ain't Just Paint

We just recently built a new room that left the homeowner with several new walls to decorate. The homeowner didn't find anything she liked in the multitude of collections of wallpapers at several area design centers. I suggested she browse the following online collection and ureka! She fell in love!


She even added this to the boy's room.
Design Your Wall (designyourwall.com) turns images into custom sheets of wallpaper. An array of materials is available, including Terralon, polyester and natural fiber that contains more than 30 percent recycled materials, plus heavyweight vinyl and more textured materials like grass cloth. Prices are by the square foot, from $7.95 for heavy artist canvas to $9.25 for Mylar or foil.

Stylish and unique wallpaper and murals designed in-house or licensed from artists all over the world.



"One of a kind" wall decor products
Getting an image to a wall is a longer process, with considerable back and forth between customer and company, which makes sense since your final product is far more permanent than, say, hanging a canvas on the wall. A company representative works with a customer to discuss the best material for the image, and scaled-down versions of an order are printed on the materials under consideration for $5 each.


If you're looking for wall coverings, and know what you want, or are having a hard time finding something that clicks with your inner designer, you may want to look here.
