Considering building a wall in the living room or alternatively even a sauna wall with leca and leaving it as is. It could look very cool. However, it will probably crumble a bit if you touch it. What do you think? Am I way off base 
Has anyone seen this anywhere? If you get tired of it, you can always plaster it or cover it with another material.
Like this, but without the plaster (not my blog).

Delicious? Well...
Taste is personal, but I think it's ugly. Very ugly.
Furthermore, it becomes a massive gathering spot for dust, insects, cobwebs, just plain unclean.
One advantage is that you don't have to worry about nail marks from paintings and such being visible
Do you really think it's nice?

I think it will have quite a clear "basement feel," and that's probably where you'll find examples, I can think of at least two friends who have that in their basements (well, and I have it myself in a lower version in the crawl space). Unfortunately, I don't have any pictures of it as far as I know.
However, maybe I can't see the potential just because I've only seen it in basements, it might become totally different with more normal light exposure. Stereo/TV benches I have seen in stacked leca, even then I think it gives a certain basement feel.
But go ahead and try if you feel like building, as you say it's "just" a matter of plastering over it, and I could imagine a plastered wall myself (and it could very well remain unpainted plaster, though I think you need some treatment so it doesn't dust).

How many thought a gray concrete wall or a gray polished concrete floor were stylish 10 years ago? Today, they are the hottest trends, and you can see them in every interior design magazine.
Lecan is so strongly associated with a basement feeling, but I believe it can be really chic if you dare to incorporate it into other areas of the home. I think it can look nice in the right environment.

Absolutely! Go for it and good luck, hopefully you'll prove wrong the grumpy night owls like me and KoW...

Yes, we'll see how it turns out. Probably will chicken out at the last second
I guess I'm incurably old-fashioned, but I don't think it's nice now either.jeppeknaster said:
Ullberg associates with basements. I get the impression of a dull workshop.
