This is a QotW answer 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?

This is a QotW comment 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.

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...

This is a QotW comment 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!

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.

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

This is a QotW comment 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.

This is a QotW comment I once saw a magazine article
