Super Hero Sci-Fi Comic Wallpaper

Townhome’s 3rd floor bar / game room, with sample of the wallpaper to be placed here.

The homeowner and I worked together to plot the layout. She had specific ideas about placement. So I positioned “the girl with the rays” (actually, her earring) smack in the center of the wall horizontally. Other considerations were taken as to which elements to place at the top of the wall.

This is the sample that came from the manufacturer. It includes a snippet of the design, as well as a shot of how it will look on a full-sized wall.

This stuff is made in Transylvania!

Mind the Gap is not your average wallpaper manufacturer!

I love the little tags and inspirations they tuck inside the box with the paper.

The home is in the Midtown / Third Ward area of central Houston. The manufacturer is Mind the Gap, and the design is called “Other Worlds”. The wallpaper is made to order. It’s on a non-woven substrate.

I used the paste-the-wall installation method, but I think that pasting the paper would have worked better for this material, because it was very thick and stiff and unyielding…. difficult to work into corners and ceiling lines, and this caused it to crease easily. Pasting the back of the material would have softened it and made it more flexible and pliable.
