“At first glance it looks like an ordinary table. But for the one who knows its secret, it can be transformed into a shelter where one can hide from scary sounds, ghosts or family members.”

Bomb-proof wallpaper for overprotective parents

bomb-proof-wallpaper

X-Flex Blast Protection System wallpaper was designed by Berry Plastics in partnership with the US Army Corp of Engineers. Apparently, just one layer is enough to beat a wrecking ball while a double layer can stop blunt objects (”i.e. a flying 2×4″) from breaking through. Ideal for army bases, tall buildings under threat from terrorism and playrooms. After all, you can never be too safe.

NOTE: I’m going to hide this from my wife because she will actually make me order some.

Off The Wallpaper

Kicki Edgren Nyborg has designed a series of immense concept wallpapers with hidden shelves (the Off The Wall collection) and bustling landscapes (WallPlay). The latter is a bit like painting a playroom wall with blackboard paint – so the wall itself becomes part of the fun – just with a lot more colour, obviously.

Skull and crossbones wallpaper

skull-wallpaper

An obvious BadParent contender, if it wasn’t for the unrelenting fact that this is clearly the greatest wallpaper ever made.

Skull Wallpaper – Bronze Flock on Oil Slick. The signature paper featuring skulls in a reflective bronze, deep pile velvet on a incredible light-catching, iridescent base, using horribly expensive ink which changes colour as you walk past it – through reds, greens, blacks and golds – like an oil slick. Printed on non-woven paper.
