Do spider webs count as decoration?

Here’s a piece of metal work I cut using a fiber optic laser.

Flyers & silkscreened posters by friends.

Plants

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.

Just the paint

That electric guitar you bought and don’t use.

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. 🤣

Maps, lots and lots of maps.

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.

Entry hallway has black light tapestries. Very large tapestry of tree and fairy lights over bed. All 3 tapestries, $40 on Amazon. 2 framed paintings of day of dead women, got for cheap in local latino hood. A small USB powered projectors covers walls, ceiling with animated aurora borealis. The first 100 digits of pi, written with colored markers.

local fire regulations say no wall coverings allowed unless they're non-flammable

A few posters I bought from the campus poster sale at the start of the year. (Specifically, a woodblock print, a solar system map and a Cowboy Bebop poster.)

I have a huge window with a nice view (in a university owned apartment no less!) so I can afford to skimp on the other walls.

I hang puzzles. They always wake some extra curiosity and are good conversation starters.

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.

I've got oil paintings from my eccentric artist friend who sometimes disappears for a week then emerges with abstract art. Not on the walls yet but my apartment has no pipes which bothers me. So I bought a bunch of PVC and a couple random pipe features. I'm an adult, I get to nail my own damn pipes to the wall break up how sterile my place feels

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

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

Nothing because im renting and don't trust anything to not rip paint off the walls

So for me it depends on my room.

In the office/gaming room, the walls are entirely full of gaming related and other geeky posters. Some fantasy maps, a discworld map, such stuff. Posters of the Persona 5 palaces.

For the living room, one wall has a small area with cat pictures (including of my baby cat of 12 years who died 2 months ago <3), the main wall is slowly creeping full of empty board game expansion boxes where I put the stuff into the main box and then hang the expansion box up with poster strips to decorate the wall with the board game shelf.

For the bedroom, the main wall has the images from the two Sunstone calendars with the calendar parts cut off. The whole room is red/black, so they fit really well, plus the theme fits.

I'm much the same as @Zane@aussie.zone - lots of bookcases, selection of prints and originals from artists and galleries here and there. We also have a couple of line and wash sketches of my own and several paintings by my SO, a mounted deer skull, a green man sculpture and a couple of landscape photos of mine. Neither of us do family photos.

In the past, I have had: a large mirror that I turned into a clock, a banner from a Greenpeace group that I was involved with, a tapestry that I friend made for us, a macramé owl that I inherited, a couple of film posters and a bicycle.

Mechanical drawings of rockets or planes or computer components. Psychedelic UV tapestries. Pictures of cats. Soviet style space propaganda pictures.

Some bookcases downstairs, a mirror and then a selection of displates (art printed on metal, basically flush to wall and no horrible picture frames)

Art is a mixture of abstract, negative animal landscapes and abstract landscapes + one LotR Moria door above the staircase...

Paintings made by my grandkids.

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.

I live in a relatively small 1br apartment, so I don't have a huge amount of wall to decorate, but what I do have, I've decorated with a semi-random assortment of things I like.

In the living room I have a couple prints of famous paintings I like, Cafe Terrace at Night by Van Gogh and Nighthawks by Edward Hopper. I got these in art gallery gift shops ages ago.

Above my turntable I have a couple framed album covers I like: ELO's Out Of The Blue and Halestorm's Remastered self-titled (the black and neon colourscheme of both covers look nice together IMO)

Above my desk I have my university degree framed.

In my bedroom I have a big ol' Canadian flag hanging above my bed.

On the wall opposite the front door of my apartment I have a watercolour painting my younger brother did of the lake at our family's cottage.

Displates and 3D printed art for me.

I have a wall where I hang masks bought from my trips on vacation. A few other walls have landscape paintings and posters.

Absolutely nothing. Except for a small shelf that's technically nailed to the wall but it's painted in the same white as the wall so I'm not sure it counts.

I didn't realize until my mid 20s that having a house without pictures and wall hanging is weird. It was also when I learned that if you don't have enough lighting it makes a home feel like a mausoleum.

The answer as to what a person should put on their walls depends on how based a person is or how much they don't care about what others think.

If you want to get non-traditional with it, hang up movie posters, collages, video game posters, etc. Whatever you like and like to look at.

If you go traditional and normal, then art is a fantastic idea. Go to your local thrift store and find old art that they have. Local estate sales are also good.

Personally, I love to commission a painting or two from the artist themselves. Etsy and fiverr painters love to make custom art of whatever you want if you have the money. You're looking at spending anywhere from $10 to a few hundred depending on the size you want.

It's always fun having a painting of your pet remade in the style of Edvard Munch

Sword rack. It looks cool and can either have mall ninja crap or genuine weaponry depending on your preference

Three walls with just a light paint, one wall with a color or patterns. I really like the Asanoha pattern (Japanese hemp leaf).

I have a lot of abstract paintings in my room. They're not mine though. They're a collection of my parents who have nowhere else to hang them.
