Inspired by our Japan-filled Spring Issue and always on the look-out for easy CIY ideas, we’ve used patterned paper prints to create a Japan-inspired wall set-up. Sent to us from Japan by DECO reader Ingrid Lezar, these prints make for a perfect CIY wallpaper and backdrop for fun displays…

DECO IDEA Create your own wallpaper by repeat printing your own pattern to tile on your wall. Accentuate with fun props, like our bright yellow display lamp (R30 from a local second hand shop) or toy/ceramic birds (Visit The Fringe Arts, Haas, Church Gift Shop, or any toy shop for fun animal props).
