Donkey Kong Decal -- and Other Cool Wall Stickers From Blik

Regular Wallpaper is a Major Commitment, But Here's a Chance to Experiment With It

Blik's self-adhesive, easy-on, easy-off decals make it easy to flirt with any of their reasonably priced patterns -- including this Donkey Kong decal. The designs, most of which range from $30 to $60, stick well to almost any clean, smooth surface, from walls to furniture to windows, and those labeled as Re-Stik can be moved and re-applied repeatedly. For more on how to apply decals, see Blik's website and this ShelterPop tutorial.

Architect Scott Flora and food writer Jerinne Neils originally created the wall graphics for their home in Venice, California. Many of the colorful designs have a playful, cartoonish quality perfect for a child's bedroom. Think whimsical animals, storybook cityscapes, sci-fi robots and vintage video-game graphics.

But silhouettes of furniture, chandeliers and china, vibrant flora and fauna, virtual bookshelves and abstract motifs could crop up in any room in need of visual flair.

In the world of stick-on graphics, Blik stands out by supplementing in-house designs with outside ones from spirited artists and designers. They come in a choice of colors, including custom colors. It's not hard to imagine some of them on art-gallery walls or (literally, in their collaboration with Threadless) on T-shirts.

With their witty, spontaneous quality, Blik's wall art can make a too-serious room smile.

Here are a couple of our favorites.
