Andy of Camarilla fame has recently been making some pretty mean contributions to Australian music, fashion and design blog Lost At E Minor. I was having a browse the other day and discovered a post on one of the coolest home design products I have ever seen; wall decals. I didn’t know it at the time, but the post was courtesy of the Adogg himself.
Anyway, he posted about Blik Surface Graphics from the US.
These are the most badass thing that your bedroom walls (or any other walls, for that matter) have ever seen. The best thing? They are self adhesive, yet totally removable, making them one of the only more permanent decorating options available to renters like myself. They come in a heap of design and colour options (including some wicked Eames styles for us retro lovers), so there really is a design for everyone.
The price is a little exy, at around US$40 and up per set, so after postage and conversion it’s a bit steep to get some out here. But a bit of careful research has revealed that there is a boutique shop in Darlinghurst, Sydney, that stocks a limited range of Blik decals (as well as some other brands). Check out Via Alley for more info (there are even some on sale!).
I was instantly bowled over by both the concept and the designs that this mob have come up with, to the point that I felt compelled to post about it right here on Howo’s Tip of the Day. I think I feel a purchase on the way!

Dreaming of Harry Potter already!
My son and I cannot wait until the final book is out next month; then to add to our excitement, I found this marvelous set of decals on Elle Deco Japan. “The Wizard’s Chamber” by IVY surface decor based in London, will let my son cast a spell on his room in seconds!
Now everyones favourite little wizard can freely imagine whilst reuniting amongst the pages with their Hogwart chums in their very own gothic-style sorcerer’s den. Simply magical!
