Four Awesome Tron and Tron: Legacy Wall Decals From Blik

Kristen Hawley — Wed, 16 Feb 2011 05:04:13 PST

When Tron: Legacy hit theaters last year, it came with no shortage of Tron-themed merchandise. There are the Monster T1 headphones, jewelry, and even snowboarding boots. To add to the list, four sets of Tron wall decals by Blik. Two designs are from the 1982 original; two are from the recent sequel.

Tron: The Grid ($45) and Tron: Master Control Program ($40) designs are from the original; Tron: Legacy - Battle ($50) and Tron: Legacy - Lightcycles ($50) are from last year's sequel. All decals are self-adhesive and removable, so don't worry about damaging walls or making a permanent change. Check them all out in the slideshow!

Trend Alert: Trompe L'œil Chairs

When used by the penny-pinching in fresh, modern ways, I'm a fan of trompe l'œil décor. But wander anywhere near faux Tuscany treatments, and I'll have to give you the boot. That said, there's a new kind of "fake it 'til you make it" décor trending that I'm definitely digging: trompe l'œil chairs! Can't afford furniture? A lick of paint or screen-printing ink and you're covered. Come see where these impostors are popping up!

Pimp Your Crib: Blik Wall Decals

Decorating a nursery can be a tricky For one, people who rent apartments don't always want to spend the time and effort designing a baby room only to move out months later. And for those who are settled in their big cozy homes, they might like the option to change things up every now and then.

So instead of marrying yourself to stripes or a safari themed room, use wall decals to set or add to the motif. Blik decals ($40 – $65) come in an alphabet set, marine life, and jungle pack to name a few. And, they are made with Re–stik so you can move them around if you decide the lion looks better on the opposite wall or want to take them with you when you move.

I introduced you to Blik in my post about decal-icious wall decor, and now the brand has partnered with another cool company you should know: Threadless. Threadless is an online t-shirt shop where artists submit designs, users vote on their favorites, and the winning art gets turned into t-shirts. Now, Blik has starting mining Threadless designs to turn into wall decals!

Each month, Blik chooses some of its favorite t-shirt designs and posts them on the Blik web site. As with Threadless, users can then vote on which art should be turned into wall decals. Nine of the winning designs have just gone up for sale, including Pirate Infested Waters ($60) and Summer Wind ($50) above.

In addition, Blik has also posted a batch of other Threadless designs that you can now vote on! To "blik" or "nix" the candidates, just visit the voting booth before the end of August, and your favorite just might get transformed into a decal design.

Decal-icious Wall Decor

The first time I ever came across removable wall decals, from a little company called Blik, I thought they were some of the coolest things I'd ever seen. The removable designs look like murals or wallpaper, but since they are easy to apply and peel off, they're great for apartment-dwellers and the indecisive.

Now, wall decals are surfacing all over the shelter world, in more forms than I could have ever imagined. There are stick-on wooden decals, 3-D paper decals, and even Wallwords, which let you turn words and phrases of your choice into peel-off decals. I've rounded up the best stick-on wall art I can find; just click on the photos to learn more.

Blik stick-on wall graphics are home accessories for the fickle. These oversized decals let you create a mural out of any blank wall, and because they go on and peel off easily, they're great for apartment dwellers and homeowners who like to change their decor frequently. The company also recently launched Re-Stiks, which you can peel off and reuse, and auto decals that are tasteful and not tacky. Here are some of my favorite Blik wall designs.

Blik Iron Vines, $60 for nine decals, available here.

Blik Heads, $26 for four or $52 for eight, available here.

To see the rest,

Blik Fly, $45 for six decals, available here.

Blik Spheres, $56 for a set of three, available here.

Serve Up the Spotty and Dotty!

Vibrant colors and sprightly floral are serious cheerleaders, but there's no pattern that puts me in a merrier mood than polka dots - or "spotty prints," as the Brits call them. Since Summer decorating is all about keeping the fun, I thought I'd round up some darling dotty motifs for you to sprinkle around your home.

The Blik Sweet 16 Wall Decal ($40) might be my favorite; it's so Damien Hirst, isn't it? I'll also be grinning from ear to ear if someone hands me a cupcake lined with the Mini Grape Polka-Dot Bake Cups ($6). Prefer something more chic? The Large Ikat Dots Pillow ($30) from Urban Outfitters is also a must have. Click the product images to shop the rest of this look!
