Shut that door: The 3D wallpaper that brings the outside world into your home
Is that a jumbo jet parked inside your neighbour's home? Or a white-sandy paradise beach? Look closer and you will find these are, in fact, the latest head-turning ideas from artist Thomas Sassenbach.
The fun 3-D designs, which include a wine cellar, a horse stable, pole-dancing girls and a swimming pool, follow on from his hugely successful garage doors - one of which was painted to show a realistic-looking Formula 1 race car.
In an attempt to brighten people's homes, Sassenbach is offering the printed motifs from his German company Style-Your-Door.com.

'We want to get rid of those drab plain coloured interior doors,' the graphic designer said.
'I wanted to bring a sense of fun and style into peoples homes and so after the storming hit with the Style-Your-Garage, we wanted to expand our simple idea.
'Suddenly there's something behind the door that you wouldn't normally expect.
'The 3-D motifs are deceptively realistic and will cause family and neighbours to stop and stare.'
Printed on to rain and fire-resistant tarpaulin, Sassenbach's designs are available on order from the internet with prices starting at £72.
'These door billboards are not simply oversized stickers,' he said.

'They are made of thin, special films able to hold their shape and are attachable to any even-surfaced door.
'They are made from washable material and they can be cut and pasted on most frames.'
The company has already had orders from around the world, including New York.
'The billboards are almost indestructible,' Sassenbach said.
'They are not dissimilar to truck tarpaulins, but have a finer structure. The material is rip-proof and can be cut without damaging it. What's more, the billboards are completely weather-proof.'
Pole-dancing girls, a giant cat and a swimming pool are among the realistic 3-D designs
