Happy homes
Tired of the kids scribbling on the walls? Scared to take your eyes off them if they've got a marker in their hand? Window fashion brand Sedar have introduced a whiteboard wallpaper - and it may just be the answer to your toddler-inspired impromptu wall art woes.
Plastic and magnetic, the wallpaper - from Dh150/metre - allows your child to play and hang their favourite drawings on the wall. It is durable, easy to install, and comes in rolls - just like wallpaper. Place it in a frame or across an entire wall - it's your call.
