Content editor, Ben Richards discovers the best ? and worst ? buys around

Remember those heat sensitive T-shirts? The T-shirt changed colour with your body heat. It seemed a great idea at the time. The fad died pretty quickly for me when I realised all it did was show off my sweat patches nicely!

Well I’ve just heard about a new wallpaper that works in exactly the same way. The leafy design gradually comes into bloom as the room heats up.

I love the idea of interactive wallpaper and it’s definitely a better use of heat interactive technology than highlighting your sweaty patches!

However, if you were using the wallpaper in your average home the areas above the radiator would always be in bloom. This sounds great at first, but do you actually want to draw people’s eyes to the radiator? For me there are better things than a radiator to make a focal point of!

I haven’t been able to find out prices yet but if you like the idea check out Shi Yuan.
