Single Indemnity

Single Wallpaper

Living alone has its perks (not putting up with the patchouli-scented roommate who burned a hole in your couch with incense) and its drawbacks (not getting to cry on that roommate’s shoulder when you get dumped).

For the best of both worlds, move in with Adrian, the music lover. Or Adriano, the foodie. Or clotheshorse Christine, party queen Pricilla, career girl Terry, or couch potato Paul. They’re all characters created by Single Wallpaper, photographic wall coverings with images of life-size people who will keep you company without bugging the crap out of you.

A few come with their own backgrounds (a wardrobe for Christine), but you can order bold geometric prints like orange circles, pink swirls, and green ovals for the rest. They’re also removable, so you can switch them around, change them up, or take them down when you get sick of their mug. It’s like having a totally compliant, quiet roommate who will always listen to you complain.

Without destroying your property.
