 The only thing that limits you with duct tape is your imagination. I really like the idea of mixing cutouts with tape. This example is a collaboration by Poster Boy & Aakash Nihalani. Duct tape sticks on everything - Sonny O was inspired by Aakash Nihalani inside his own home. 

It's a cheap way to add impact to your room. Aakash Nihalani installation at Frost Street Space in NYC.

Here is a stylists trade secret! Every professional stylist will always have in their kit a roll of duct tape. This humble vinyl tape is as important to a stylist as yeast is to a baker. It's used for just about everything you can think of. From holding up wallpaper to helping bedlinen looking wrinkle free to removing fluff off fabric.

Over the years duct tape has been kept out of our view.  However, I have noticed lately how this sticky tape is being used to enhance our interiors by adding colour and shapes to walls and floors.
