Description

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0020] The invention will be further illustrated again below with reference to the figures. In the drawings:

[0021] FIG. 1 shows, in a perspective view, a spatial representation of two walls, and

[0022] FIG. 2 shows, in a perspective view, a spatial representation of a bathroom.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0023] FIG. 1 shows, in a perspective view, the spatial representation of a room, in this case, two walls 1 and 2 which form, for example, the corner of a room being represented. The walls 1, 2 are optionally provided with wallpaper 3, but they may also be painted. On the walls 1, 2, there is a circumferential bordure 4 which is attached, for example, at a corresponding height for a children's room. The bordure 4 normally consists of a supporting body on which a lenticular foil is attached, for example stuck, which is provided with a graphical design 5 which is only indicated in outlines without selecting any particular theme in FIG. 1. The bordure 4 is provided with a bonding sheet on its back and may thus be directly stuck onto the walls 1, 2. As an alternative, it is possible to use a conventional adhesive material which is used, for example, for wallpapers. The design created by the lenticular foil may here extend across the complete length of the bordure 4, but it is also possible that a lenticular foil is only partially present on the bordure 4 which may be interrupted by colouring. It is thus possible to place individual sequences of the same or different types on one bordure 4. By the bordure 4 designed in this manner, the room, preferably a children's room, obtains a particular optical valorisation, and it may contain, according to the children's or adolescent's desires, sportive scenes or well-known athletes, movie themes or individual actors as well as representations of animals, cartoons, fictional characters or cartoon characters, which are characterized, due to the employed lenticular foil, by a changing motion sequence.

[0024] FIG. 2 also shows, in a spatial arrangement, two walls 10, 11, which are in this case bathroom walls on which tiles 12 are stuck. In the shown embodiment, the tiles 12 only reach up to a certain height so that the upper area of the walls 10, 11 may be painted. The tiles 12 are here partially provided with a tile sticker 14 which is equipped with a lenticular foil. These tile stickers 14, too, are provided with a theme 15 which is only symbolically indicated without showing a certain theme. The arrangement of the tile stickers 14 may here be effected in regions where there are sufficiently large open spaces and where no sanitary objects are fixed to the wall or on the bottom. The design of the bathroom is therefore individually possible, wherein in individual cases, by a plurality of tiles stickers 14, a kind of bordure is formed in a row, or by an alternative arrangement of the individual tile stickers, any pattern may be created. Each tile sticker is equipped with a lenticular foil so that, for example, club emblems or selected players, optionally also fictional characters, cartoon characters or cartoons, may be used.
