3D Walpapers from Hanna Nyman

Hanna Nyman is a textile designer from Stockholm. Closely related to her passion for origami, designing three-dimensional wallpapers is also very much Hanna’s thing.

The wallpapers that you see in the pictures are specially created to interact with the user. That is why the flowers are not pealed off at first. Each owner can do that for himself, achieving a new design for each wall.

Why to become a professional designer

We all here have a huge interest in decorating and interior designing, but if you have ever thought about starting a career in this area, you should definitely get a degree. Thus, your creativity should not be wasted in vain. Whether you like arts, photography, interior design or fashion design, a special training is issued to become a professional. Design schools will make you aware of new skills and interests and you can discover new talents.

Designer

On the other hand, interior decorators have nice jobs, where they can express their creativity. Furthermore, the interior designers do what they like, and that is something to love about this profession. Another important aspect of this profession is that the rising demand for professional design makes it a well-paid job. Interior design schools prepare the future decorators to work with design and architectural firms, department stores, home furnishing stores or even to start their own business. The U.S. Department of Labor predicts that jobs for Interior Decorators will increase by as much as 35% through the year 2008.

From my point of view, the fashion designers have almost the same opportunities in their careers. The fashion design requires hard work, determination and passion. Obviously that needs creativity too, because that means design in the first place. Consequently following the fashion design schools, will open your eyes and will help you succeed in this field.

Origami Wall

This is a very interesting idea. A wall that is also art and storage place.

Origami Wall is a concept whose designer yet remains unknown. However, it looks very promising. The color and materials can probably be adapted to any interior. Indeed, it occupies more space than an usual wall, but just thing of all the useless stuff you can deposit in it and that normally just sit around the room.
