They needs Lucy-in-the-Sky-with-Diamonds wallpaper.

How about dogs playing poker?

Trumpet hares and elephants are playin’ on the wall

Won’t you take a walk in the straitjacket? Dood-n-doo-doo

Whimsical wallpapers wanted by some ape here

Doo, doo, doo, I’m freakin’ out in my store

As the Romans state: ‘de gustibus non discutandum’ .

count’n flowers on the wall thet don’t bother me at all…

i will go with the rabbits

Do people still use wallpaper? I remember my dad doing the apartment walls with the stuff, but when we moved into a house around 1960, we did paint. I’ve been in a number of paint stores since then and haven’t seen them stocking wallpaper. Where would one even go to buy it?

Somebody has to do “wallpaper design.” I imagine there’s some sort of guidelines on how long you have to go on the rolls until the patterns replicate as well as some symmetry requirements left and right . I know from my photoshopping experiences how unnatural (and sometimes annoying that could look.

I wonder how many wallpaper designers there were in the United States in the 1940’s or 50’s as compared to today.

Definitely NOT a question of taste.

There is no wall paper that will satisfy them!

Haven’t seen wallpaper in years. But wall paneling is very nice

If you’re wanting to stay current then I have one word: Shiplap

This looks like a skit right out of Monty Python’s Flying Circus!

It’s a matter of taste, and having it.

Uh, how ‘bout a giant doin’ cartwheels and a statue wearin’ high heels? No? Maybe some tambourines and elephants playin’ in a band?

This couple would have loved the apartment, where the former tenant put up pink poodles in bubble baths…in the kitchen !
