Art for large empty wall?

Anonymous
We have several large antique maps of cities we've lived in. They were pricey, but you can get nice reproductions for far less.

Love this.

Op...do you have kids? I have seen some really cool "kids" art. Just get some nice frames and matting. Your kids will love it!

Having a Monet/Picasso/Rothko replica or whatever on your wall is so incredibly cheesy.

So what is a noncheesy option for OP?

Original art or a print or a map as PP suggested. Or a tapestry or photograph. There are a million things you could hang on your wall, but unless you can afford a real Rembrandt, having a poster from the museum gift shop is totally weird.


Having art posters on your wall is not cheesy. You are strange. My kids grew up with Matisse Cut Out Posters in their rooms and loved them and were inspired by them. The posters that the museums create when a particular artist's work is coming to town are awesome.


+1. The PPs would rather spend money on a piece of crap that matches their decor than appreciate art that speaks to the soul. Who gives a damn if it's a poster--it's the content, not the material, that inspires.

I have never, ever understood people who pick "art" based on the rug they put down.



Totally agree. Any anything looks nice when properly framed.

I would love to have a large quilt made to hang on a large empty wall we have.

You could get beautiful wall paper framed.
A mirror
We had a massive cathedral height wall and found a really cool antique door frame. That's a option or old window frames
