And what do you recommend to hang on walls, for decorative purposes, besides family photos?

Mine are blank and barren, an empty canvas for the maniacal decorator in me, after carefully negotiated with the family.

    All sorts of stuff. Books, trinkets, records, art. I like to hit up small regional galleries and local artists exhibits for original art, but I also have a lot of prints and posters as well.

    Art gallery gift shops are a fantastic place for high quality prints and posters that don’t break the bank, and then you can spend as much or as little as you like on getting them mounted and on display.

      Once I found some nice maple leaves, so I put them in a cheap photo frame and hung them on the wall. It looked nice, do I expanded on the idea and started doing lots of these picture frames with dry leaves in them. The best one I have is an A4 paper completely covered in nettle leaves. They also form a fish scale pattern, which makes it look really cool.

    I have a signed photos of Patrick Stewart and William Shatner. Nothing else lol, the rest of my walls are essentially bare. But, I’ve never been one for wall decor (somewhat of a minimalist), and the few items that are up weren’t chosen by me.

    It’s always a fun conversation when I’m initially dating someone as to why those are up. Unfortunately, getting people you’re dating to watch Star Trek is harder than you would think. 🤣

      And that is valid. I’ve seen buckets of paint with such long price tags it made me wonder if was the price for the entire pallet.

        Haha I have a tote of art in frames that I want to put up somewhere but never satisfied with how to arrange it so it just sits in the tote, plus the blank walls makes it feel bigger haha

    I have 2 foil art pictures. Afaik it’s a toner print on cardstock and then a foil is baked on the paper and peeled leaving only the foil on the parts where the toner was earlier.
    One is a moon in silver holographic and another is an entry ticket to “space” with a gold foil print

    Picture:

    Ordered on Etsy. If requested I will try to find the page of the seller.

      If that happens, it just tells how much paint is on the wall and how cheap it is, which is a really bad sign.

    I’ve got a Critters, Hell Comes To Frogtown, and Samurai Cop poster up. Then a few foil cover comics from the 90s, including Spider-Man 2099 and Punisher 2099.

    Overall I’m pretty happy with my life choices.

      The 2099 series did have good cover graphics.

    My mom likes to do assorted crafts, so we have a few painted adornments, even a 3D painting of sorts she made using some specialized putty and acrylic paint. It looks real nice, I should upload a picture of it later.

      Ooh, now I want a projector to cover my ceiling with the stars currently overhead (which I can’t see because light pollution and also there’s a ceiling in the way).

        I got mine on Amazon, $15 I think. Tiny, lightweight, can even put into bag, travel with it, liven up bare wall hotels.

    Some of my prized posessions are watercolor landscape paintings my grandfather painted.

    If real art is an option I would highly recommend it.
