If you go weak at the knees at the thought of buying a new pair of shoes, and can’t get enough of stylish footwear, then this is the wallpaper for you!
Designed by Lisa Bengtsson, the monochrome Mother in Law wallpaper features a repetitive shoe design. The footwear is pictured at different angles and covers everything from knee high boots and broques, to slingbacks, ankle boots and high heeled stilettos.
This special shoe wallpaper is printed in Sweden and would be the perfect paper to hang in a boudoir, closet or dressing room. The Mother in Law wallpaper (we’d personally have named it Shoe Heaven) is available to purchase from Bodie and Fou.

We featured the zebra wallpaper from Turner Pocock Cazalet a few weeks back, but for fans of tennis, they also produce a rather unusual tennis themed wallpaper as part of their English Sports range.
Available in a choice of natural - which is actually an electric green colour - or vintage, which is a cool taupe shade, the wallpaper features a repeated pattern of tennis rackets and balls, which is very effective and looks great on the wall.
If you’re a fan of tennis and design conscious, then perhaps this is the wallpaper for you?
You can purchase the tennis racquet wallpaper from the Turner Pocock Cazalet store on Not On The High Street. One 10m roll costs £75.

These two rather cheeky retro wallpapers are designed by Dupenny and handprinted in the UK.
Inspired by the 50s, and printed in black and white, the designs are guaranteed to be a talking point and add fun and frivolity to your walls!
Choose from Housewife, which depicts women in provactive poses cooking, hanging out washing and doing the ironing, or Time for Tea, where tempting cakes are being served and tea poured by scantily clad women.
Both wallpapers can be purchased as panels - with each design, there are two panel choices, so you can pick the designs you like and mix and match accordingly. If you only have a small space, then a single panel is perfect. Buy the Housewife and Time for Tea wallpaper panels from EcoCentric.

If you thought animal print wallpapers were only for children’s rooms, then think again. This wonderful zebra wallpaper is fun and quirky and, with it’s lovely charcoal shades, looks great used in contemporary styled rooms.
Created by interior designers, Bunny Turner and Emma Pocock, from Turner Pocock, together with sketches by Catherine Cazalet, the wallpaper design is hand drawn and features a quirky runinng zebra. One of the best aspects of it, and the element that makes it look so effective on the wall, is that each of the zebras has a paler mirror image reflection. They’re also alternately facing in different directions and the way that the zebras are drawn makes it look like they’re bounding along the wall.
The zebra wallpaper is printed in the UK and is available to purchase from Rockett St George.

This unusual wallpaper features an array of tiny bird houses with small birds perched on some of them. The background of the wallpaper is neutral and the bird houses are decorated with pastel colours, newspaper clippings and other print desgins.
Admittedly, it’s not a wallpaper I can imagine having plastered all over a room, but it would be ideal for use on a single feature wall, where it would be suitably quirky and decorative.
One roll of the birdhouse wallpaper measures 6m long by 45cm wide and it’s available from Catkin Collection.

Have you ever fancied re-decorating a room, but are unsure what to do? Perhaps you really like the look of wallpaper, but aren’t sure if it’s a design you want on your walls on a long-term basis? Or maybe you love the idea of wallpaper, but can’t face the hassle of putting it up?
Well, now there’s an answer to all these issues, with the arrival of Tempaper.
Created by NYC set directors who’ve transformed themselves into wallpaper designers, they recognised the need for easy-to-apply wall decorations. They’ve created this great range of Tempapers, which are extra long rolls of printed wallpaper. Instead of having to faff around with wallpaper glue and pasting tables, this clever vinyl wallpaper comes with a self-adhesive backing.
It’s easy to put up without major hassle, but it’s also easy to remove again if you change your mind. If you do want to remove it, it can be reapplied again - on the same wall, or elsewhere in your home.
Tempaper is available in a selection of designs, including Blue Silhouette (blue background with a white twig design), Pink Damask, Black Damask and Blue Alto.
All the designs are available to purchase in the UK from Urban Outfitters.

If you’re looking for an unusual or quirky wallpaper, then how about creating a talking point on your walls, with this Birds of a Feather wallpaper?
The design features British garden birds, such as robins and sparrows, perched on a line (a branch for the imaginative) and decorated with subtle hints of the Union Jack.
Admittedly, you may not want this plastered all over your walls, but we think it could work quite well used on a single wall, as a statement wall or simply in a small area that you’d like to liven up.

 Storage boxes
I really like the idea of wallpapering the inner back of plain white shelving, so you can see colourful wallpaper showing through, but it can be a bit of a fiddle to do on existing shelves, especially if they’re packed with books.
These bookshelf boxes are great, as they come ready wallpapered, so there’s no hard work involved. You could use them for storing books in, or simply use the shelves for displaying other home accessories and ornaments. The less you put in them, the more the wallpaper will show through.
The bookshelf boxes come in sets of two, in a choice of green or purple, and are available from Camel and Yak.
