So I recently looked at my walls and felt they are pretty empty. I usually have it this way because I like rooms that are arranged cleanly and neatly but I feel they are a little too clean and starting thinking about what to actually put up there to get a little contrast to my white walls.

So I thought I'd ask you all here about posters and other wall decorations you like and would like to recommend :)

Thanks for the help and please post pictures of the recommendations hanging on your walls. Would be a nice way to see how they would look when up and also a nice way to see how you all have it :)
 
i have giant periodic table of elements that takes up my 12' wall

I posted this in the iphone thread

I love concert posters.

Find one you like, some will have links to the original artist's site, buy them directly from the artist. They're usually unique and different from what most people have.

Frame it to look nice.

a few I have (i'll try to get the actual pictures soon)

Your welcome.

With my experience with this one:

It was pretty easy.

I cleaned my wall, peeled off the paper and hung it up. It took two people and I can post some pictures of it when I get home if you'd like.

Very, very good buy for ~$40 after shipping, and I plan to buy more.

I think this might blend in very well with my white walls. Would love to see how it looks on your wall and how you put it up w/wo frame etc :)
 
I will put a picture up by the end of the evening for you

For now though, it is just the graphic, the white color, as shown in the background of the picture, would be whatever color your wall is.
 
The Telltale Games site has signed Same and Max posters. Signed. By Steve Purcell. I am vaguely addicted to these, and have bought pretty much every one they've offered for sale so far.

I'm also into buying '70s sexploitation posters off eBay. I'll definitely check out gigposters.com, alr1ghtstart. Thanks for that!
 
Rainbow poop!

If rainbow poop wallpaper isn't your thing, http://www.whatisblik.com has lots of decent wall offerings, including Space Invaders, Mario, animals and more.

The code kcrw gives 15% off any order according to RetailMenot.com.

EDIT: I didn't even notice the site getting plugged already in the thread. Sorry!

I kinda like this poster :)

Earlier one recommended gigposters, I find many of them to be good looking but it feels wrong to have a poster up from some bands concert/gig and not have been there. Maybe just me :)
 
recently bought this

a giant laminated MUNI bus map, a dwight howard poster, a communist china propaganda poster, and a cork bulletin board filled with pictures of me my friends and my family
 
Sorry I took so long to get back but here is the one I promised a few weeks back--

The decal comes as a big sticker and I laid it down on my kitchen table and gently peeled it off. Before this I cleaned my wall for a few minutes and let it dry while I was peeling off the sticker. It took two people and two pencil mark lines to make it level. Total time to hang and everything was just about 30minutes. Totally worth it to me as this is where I compose my music at.
 
that Blik stuff looks nice.

And the guitar rack is not a bad idea... And since I only have two lying around, right now, I could use the rest as coat hangers :lol
 
I have a few paintings friends have done, but uh thats about it..maybe a few loose posters I got from convetions or tattoo'd chicks adorning my wall as well.
 
I've got a few things on my walls, not because they're pretty, but because they're funny in a way:

- little pic of the pope (lol)
NW-1805D%20copy.jpg



- "Scene from Moby Dick" = replica from the painting behind The Simpsons sofa, in a rather expensive frame (lol)

- Some 1950's art from a girl standing in an airport, somewhat pin-up girl style. Same style as this:

- I want to add a kermit the frog poster with several snapshots of him as if it's his portefolio, but I don't find a decent place for it, so it's still rolled up in a closet.

Dont' have pics of any of these, but I'll try to take some in near future.
 
I've got a mixture of my own photos, other peoples photos and some egyptian papyrus art.

Gonna replace the "other people" photos with my own once I take something worthy...

Always looking for suggestions on alternative stuff though so, subscribed...

Is it hanging away from the wall? If so, what did you use to do that?
no it's pretty close to the wall. hooks on the back of the pictures hang on to screws in the wall.
