North London 's bustling borough of Islington just got a whole lot more colourful . On Clerkenwell Road , artists created a 3D art installation that looks as though the side of a building wall has been knocked through to reveal the interiors of a family home . The project , which took over two weeks to paint , is designed to inspire homeowners to be braver with colour . North London 's bustling borough of Islington just got a whole lot more colourful thanks to this art installation . Artists have crafted a 3D art project that looks as though the side of a building has been knocked through . The illusory display is a type of artwork known as trompe d'oeil and exposes what looks like a two bedroom household above the revamped Hat & Feathers public house . Anything but a small artistic feat , the entire process took over 160 hours to cover the 1,352 square foot wall , and was created in honour of the UK and Ireland launch of Valspar paint . The thousands of passers-by who frequent the busy street corner each day had to do a double take . The lifelike interiors were brought to life by Poole-based community artist , Nina Camplin , who specialises in large-scale 'trick of the eye ' paintings . The project is located on a busy corner on Clerkenwell Road , and attracts the attention of many passers-by . The illusory artwork , painted in trompe d'oeil style , depicts the interiors of a two bedroom family home . The project , which took over two weeks to paint , is designed to inspire homeowners to be braver with colour . In this instance , she used to her skills to create the 3D scene on an otherwise flat surface . The campaign is intended to encourage UK homeowners to inject a bit of colour into their own living spaces . Research shows that , currently , 78 per cent of UK homeowners opt to paint their homes in cream , white or neutral , while a mere 6 per cent of the nation embraces any sort of vivid hues in their interiors . Jane Ryder of Valspar Europe said : 'The reaction from the public so far has been amazing . 'So many people have stopped to take photographs and ask the artists about the project - it 's starting to feel like London 's latest tourist attraction ! ' Valspar Paint is available exclusively at B & Q .
