I just have to re-post this interesting wall paper piece I stumbled across over at Apartment Theraphy. It’s for doorways – unused doors I presume, a handle would certainly interfere with the picture – and it features ‘old parisian metropolitan’s stairs’ (above), Montmartre’s stairs and stairs from the Catacombs, an empty dressing, escalators, a vintage iron store front, a castel corridor, a mesy book stack…view full range here. The idea is funny I think, although not all too often useful if not you remove some skirting and put up door moldings on the wall -  install a faux door. That would make this an exemple of framed wall art…! Anyway, for the one who has shut a door whose crossing serves no purpose – this should be excellent inspiration.

There has been a lot of birdcages around in interior design lately, and one of my fav blueish wallpapers is definitely Birdcage walk by Nina Campbell. Birds and birdcages have an appealing expression: it’s waking thoughts of freedom, captivity, flying, dreaming… There’s a whole lot you can do on the bird theme. I’m actually pondering a few DIY projects :) Until I’ve digested my ideas, here’s 3 top ways to integrate this intriguing feature into your home.

1. As patterned wallpapers often tend to be very beautiful in small pieces, but giving an overall messy and cluttered feel if displayed on an entire wall(s), this arrangement found in the magazine Sköna hem, is a super-great idea in itself. In addition, the choice of frame and wallpaper is first-rate!

2. A splendid idea (and one of the ones I engage in) is to make your own birdcage lamp. Though this ready-made lamp from Dutchbydesign.com isn’t too bad either. Actually, it’s one of the nicest I’ve seen.

3. Wall stickers are popular! Being able to create an, at least a bit, personalized wallpaper is a very likable feature. These birdcage wall stickers from Ferm Living look just excellent.
