You fool!

Trompe l'oeil is a term in French that means "to trick the eye." It's usually done with optical illusions through paint, but these days, people have found lots of other ways to fool you.

I LOVE this bath mat from The Conran Shop (it was featured in O at Home, winter 08).

How trippy to get out of the tub and dry your feet on this!



We all know I have a stalker-like fetish for wallpapers. And these two below from Apartment Therapy definitely get me excited.
Love this "library" - Genuine Fake Bookshelves wallpaper by Deborah Bowness.


And I love, love, love this architectural trompe l'oeil by Designers Nata Janberidze and Keti Toloraia
