So many choices…but I don’t think they’d be to my wife’s less nerdy taste (or in other words, she’s not quite as tasteless as I am). It’s a whole collection of cephalopod themed bedding.
And then we’d have to redo the ghastly 1950s-style floral wallpaper in the bedroom…I wonder if they have wallpaper with tentacles somewhere?
It would improve the resale value of the house! Wouldn’t it?

“PZ Myers” was my first thought when I’ve seen this.
Also, spelling “Kraken” with “ck” seems weird to me. It can’t be right.

Strangely sexy!

I will tell that to my wife.

The one you posted has a nice color scheme. Maybe some watercolor-wash wallpaper or paint in matching colors, and leave the cephalopods as an border. Don’t want to overwhelm people so they can’t appreciate the simple structure of the cephalopod.

How about doing the walls in cephalopod habitat? Kelp, rocks, little fishies, I’m sure there are wall murals out there that look like you’re under the ocean.

Uh-oh. If Mary gets that job that requires her to live in another part of the state, she might come home one weekend to find the house totally redone.

It would definitely raise the value of the house, for a certain niche market segment anyway (may not be too large ) but you’ll sleep more restfully in a salubrious environment, and isn’t that enough? At least if your wife doesn’t experience Chtulhu nightmares in her freshly redone bedroom. ;-}

I don’t know, man. Looking at that pillow too long might get me thinking about crevices.

Surely you mean ceviche…

Wow! I love the colors!

Well, today was apparently a good day to spend in bed instead of going in to work at an American school… the octopi would simply be the icing on the cake. (The froth on the wave?)

I’m with Becca and Anne (at nos 4 and 5, respectively) — get nice wallpaper with an underwater theme.
DonDueed says
No, that bedding (and the wallpapers) wouldn’t really work… not unless they had actual chromatophores and could change to mimic their background.
PDX_Greg says
Just be careful not to pay too much. I’ve been warned that cephalopod tentacles are for suckers.

Caine beat me to it. Spoonflower.
Trebuchet says
One of those is clearly not a cephalopod, but the skull of an Ood.
