long lists: things that are better than wallpaper

By

Is your wall feeling a little naked at the moment? We've put together a collection of some of the best stuff to pretty-up your wall without winding up with the Clag-covered mitts of a two year old.

We all have that big empty wall in our homes no one knows what to do with. Do you paint it? Can you wallpaper it? Who even knows how to wallpaper a room, anyways? What you need is something pretty. Something special. Something to give your room that extra wowsers-factor that its pale hues is missing.

Never fear, oh naked-walled wailers: we’ve done the hard work for you and collected some of the most fab wall decor from around the internets to get you started on your impending room makeover. The best part? All of these beauties are completely mess-free and won't leave your hands looking like the Clag-covered mitts of a two year old.

Admit it: so much better than wallpaper.

7. Not so into the computer game theme? How about something a little classier? And to think you’ll never have to change these light bulbs!

8. Even the stuck-up Mr Darcy would approve of a few of these Jane Austen prints from Ideal Bookshelf.

9. If we had that many arms to carry our bounty, we'd become this treasure hunter as well (although our hoarding problem would likely be taken to another level).
