A lot. And come across a plethora of wonderfully designed products. But every once in awhile (not often, mind you), the site is as beautiful to look at as the products it's selling and in this case, Hooked On Walls is one of those sites. A company launched in january of this year, Hooked OnWalls is part of the <a href="http://www.arte-international.com/">Arte International</a> Collection of fabrics and textiles. The website was designed by the uber talented <a href="http://www.group94.com/">Group94</a>.<br /><br />Now, I'm not saying it's beautifully 'designed'. That would imply that the navigation is intuitive, that the menu is clear and that finding what, where and how to purchase is easy. This is not the case here, but rather the images and photography are so compelling that it's a nice a site to sell a photographer's work as it is to showcase these amazing wallpapers. Now, I have contacted them in an attempt to learn who the photographer is but to no avail. If any of my readers know, by all means tell me so I can credit them!<br /><br />They have four collections, all with edgy names; Jealous Walls, Stolen Diamonds, Hysterical Glamour and Belgian Graffiti.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYc4rJ1d1yBg90Pf9OhVhWaBobsDbIJANGFXo8s2Nq7zHFG2O23THeghoDKXWAGkx2VYo1TPO3RyRHeJz50uKH9IOOpSNPEJkKxslA3yfp6JMnxf3NuVxS0M0XOMtkvZ9J13Lzj9zmsJsa/s1600-h/Picture+61.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5267860492524244946" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYc4rJ1d1yBg90Pf9OhVhWaBobsDbIJANGFXo8s2Nq7zHFG2O23THeghoDKXWAGkx2VYo1TPO3RyRHeJz50uKH9IOOpSNPEJkKxslA3yfp6JMnxf3NuVxS0M0XOMtkvZ9J13Lzj9zmsJsa/s400/Picture+61.png" style="cursor: pointer;

What's Wrong With A Bare Wall?

I've always liked a good wall. <br />That's right, one with nice surface area and light hitting it just right. <br />I love to see shadows undulate across them or, even better, if there's an outside pool nearby, the dancing reflection of light upon the wall.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-PT2U24_YijoGJJhPMODMLqHDG2vD96U6tccrXVy0KhUHNewQKNRnYGboCDgVOV299oigQhfICjqiIdEw4-ESjInMBBR2ldaPiIt3zXIVptThIqYPw6dAcnEp_3Ww8_UlaqlJbnxltq8Q/s1600-h/Shadows.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5064496748882805762" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-PT2U24_YijoGJJhPMODMLqHDG2vD96U6tccrXVy0KhUHNewQKNRnYGboCDgVOV299oigQhfICjqiIdEw4-ESjInMBBR2ldaPiIt3zXIVptThIqYPw6dAcnEp_3Ww8_UlaqlJbnxltq8Q/s400/Shadows.jpg" style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" /></a><br />And if the wall seems lonely, I can't think of a better way to celebrate it than with an original piece of art. A painting, mixed media, even a wall sculpture.<br /><br />But, apparently a bare wall is a displeasing thing for many people. Just witness the explosion of companies and designers creating everything from large photographic wall murals like Surface View in the UK to <a href="http://www.whatisblik.com/walldecals.html">Blik's</a> incredible success with their vinyl wall decals. Not to mention the numerous wall hanging companies creating coverings with felt and metal.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHmOZzHFFHU7PNdMPJKzl9l35Z2jnp5uqn5IG8eZl3YDF1bNARnbHGx8NcC1dmslxTrVfJhx5jC4VoFxaEo-l22-cWnK3CWOdn-KROzHXbmq10HrbI6VcmN-TwKc1Qnex2uKQM3RoplWY2/s1600-h/Picture+12.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5064486277752538002" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHmOZzHFFHU7PNdMPJKzl9l35Z2jnp5uqn5IG8eZl3YDF1bNARnbHGx8NcC1dmslxTrVfJhx5jC4VoFxaEo-l22-cWnK3CWOdn-KROzHXbmq10HrbI6VcmN-TwKc1Qnex2uKQM3RoplWY2/s400/Picture+12.png" style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" /></a><br /><i>Above: Some of Blik's available wall decals</i><br /><br />There have been sooo many trends this past year to cover one's walls, it will be hard to address all of them. Below are a few of the most popular.<br /><br />From <a href="http://www.blik.com">Blik</a> starting the enormous trend of vinyl stickers and Tord Boontje's self adhesive mirrored icons called "puddles" (see below) to Chalkboard slate wallpapers on which you can write. <a href="http://www.mioculture.com">Even 3D wallpapers have entered the market</a>.
