I'm looking for an interesting way of annoying the wife
We're moving house soon. I have the good fortune to work from home and so will be requisitioning the smallest bedroom as my office.

Mrs 'bulb has already picked the decor for our daughters' room, and likely has some idea how everything will look. I, of course, will be paying for it all, and will have no say in anything. But I WILL be decorating my office.

And I'm looking for a decor that's a surefire way of arousing her wrath and impotent rage every time she sees it. I'm looking to you, my fellow b3tans, to help...

Ideas so far: 1) papier mache head mounted on wall to look as if the person has just been shoved through it ... blood and all.

2) I really like the stormtrooper with the watering can in OT ...

3) Mega-gothic-emo-thrash-metal -eque decor with dribbling candles and all. Anyone know where I can find some unusual wallpaper?

I like it...
But I like the one with vertical lines that bend around picture frames, door frames etc. more. It fucks with your head somehow.

Like the soup tins but a stretched anus instead.

(Plus it will keep the kids out.)

Failing that just mix paisley and plaid.

Goatse
Had already crossed my mind ... but I think it'll break the terms of the lease, somehow! Plus the image makes me feel queasy.

Am looking for something REALLY unusual and don't mind putting the effort and money in ... unusual artefacts, creations, maybe some kind of MC Escher thing, 3D wallpaper, whatever works...

Added bonus if you get really bored you can make little clothes for them.

Album covers on the walls...
...candles, musical instruments, oil projector, dartboard/noticeboard, freestanding 50s ashtray, skulls, gimp mask on a mannequin etc

Mrs Tugnut hates it.

Mannequin wearing a gimp mask...
... is going on my wish list!

Had a thought about smothering the walls in googly eyes, in the same way you would pebble-dash a house ... smear some thin plaster or adhesive on the walls then fling handfuls of eyes at the walls until fully covered.

Would be great fun in an earthquake!

Wallpaper a mannequin to the wall

So it looks like someone got caught by a mad wallpaperer, also doa fake dog barking at a bird.

Or some kind of tromp d'euil that make the room look huge/tiny/long/mis-shapen.

funny you should ask...
as it happens, today I'm covering our stair walls with Viz comic pages - just pasting them on willy-nilly.

It's the secret of a good marriage...
... you've got to maintain your independence! Anyway, she annoys me right back so it's fair.

'Wife' not technically accurate but it's easier to type than woman-who-is-technically-my-fiancee-and-mother-of-two-one-of-which-is-mine-and-has-my-surname-even-though-she-doesn't.

I once saw a magazine article

about a chap who had wallpapered his loo with the pages from his favourite book. Obviuosly you will need two versions of the book.

Id like to paint the walls of my living roonm so as it looks like...
the inside of a red wine glass.

I havent an artistic bone in my body though so wont even attempt it.

Please dont just say "paint it wine coloured" or variants thereof - I want it cleverrererer than that.
