Wall decor has gone high tech, reports Wired. Take a look at these modern wallpapers that are light-emitting, moddable, and re-stickable.
Jonas Samson's light-emitting wallpaper
Dutch designer Jonas Samson (www.jonassamson.com) presents the light-emitting wallpaper. Wired explains how this works: The glow emanates from conductive materials beneath the decorative facade: a transparent indium tin oxide film (used in LCDs) over a layer of phosphorus backed with a silver-based solution. Add 124 volts of electricity and the results are radiant.

Removeable stickers by blik (www.whatisblik.com). What is blik? blink's website answers this very question:
blik is an I.D. Magazine award-winning* line of surface graphics created by and for people who like to change their mind. These self-adhesive wall decals (think stickers for grown-ups) allow you to easily transform the look of a living or office space in minutes. Affix blik to any smooth, flat surface such as a wall, window, mirror, ceiling, tabletop or floor. Choose your space, plan the design you'd like to make, and literally, just peel and stick. And when you're tired of your design, say after years, a month, maybe a day - the decals are removable.

Lastly, a wallpaper that isn't paper but fabric. OrangePiel (www.orangepiel.com) is the exclusive distributor of Clipso Technical Fabrics.
