Is my bathroom wall art ‘tacky’

Please settle a light hearted disagreement…Hubster says the new photo/poster I’ve put up in the downstairs loo will be considered ‘tacky’ by any visitors.

It’s the Mona Lisa but she’s holding her nose - you can see it on Google.

YABU - I agree with your Hubster
YANBU - it’s harmless

I bought a sign that says ‘VIP ROOM’ for the downstairs loo but I chickened out when I got home.

SaySomethingMan · 12/06/2026 00:37

No opinion on your art but si bet with myself that you wouldn’t make it past page 1 without comments on how awful ´hubster’ is.
I don’t mind it, personally.

Yes it is tacky but iant that part of the fun. I knew someone who when you open their toilet door the first lines of cocacobana sing outfrom a speaker. Their toilet was amazon jungle themed too

I think it's funny. I have a picture of a cat holding toilet with the caption 'Your butt napkins my lady" in my downstairs toilet. I love it!

ChicGreyZebra · 12/06/2026 00:21

YABU for saying hubster

feckingmassivecakeandvesttop · 11/06/2026 23:48

I have the 3 giraffes in a bath in my loo so can't criticise. Sounds fine OP, if you like it keep it.

It sounds tacky. Like something from Temu.

I've been trying to find something for my kitchen wall but I just can't find anything that feels like its not some generic kitchen art from amazon or cheesy.

Do you have any local art fairs/exhibitions? My parents have in their kitchen a lovely still life by a talented local artist which they got from an art fair.

I find it funny. But then I'm not snobbish like some posters on here. My kids would love it as well. I am seriously thinking about getting it for our toilet in the hall because it's the stinky one (even if clean because dh poop stinks for hours and ds1 always "forgets" to flush). The bathroom in my room doesn't smell at all and we are 3 to use that to poop- me and my ds- dh is banned from pooping there).

Gosh, imagine someone dictating to you where you can poo on your own home?!

Tacky, but not as bad as 'hubster'

I came to post this too 🤣

MyGhastIsFlabbered · 11/06/2026 23:30

I’m not a fan myself, but then I’ve got a massive framed Wonder Woman poster in my bathroom so what do I know?

Moveoverdarlin · 11/06/2026 23:30

Yeah really naff. My 8 year old son would find it funny.

NameChangeMay2026 · 11/06/2026 23:22

That's grim.

I would never have that in my house in a month of Sundays.

Slowdownyouredoingfine · 11/06/2026 19:32

No it’s not tacky or chavvy. It’s pop art, very popular… it’s not in the same category as ‘live, laugh, love.’ Or ‘in this house we…’ imo. In a nicely decorated vintage style bathroom it adds a pop of character.

It's absolutely not pop art - here's a quote from a quick search 'The style often used humor and detachment to comment on postwar consumerism and celebrity obsession.'

'Poos are smelly' isn't really that humorous once you're over 8.

Miranda65 · 11/06/2026 22:50

I thought downstairs loos were for old photos and school certificates?
"Wall art".....no.
"Hubster"...... definitely no.
"Hilarious" pictures somehow referencing bodily functions...... absolutely not, tacky as hell

The word is "husband". HTH.

Shouldn’t that be DHTH?

I would find it pretty gross . Not funny at all .

shhblackbag · 11/06/2026 22:41

I would find it tacky if I saw it, but it's your house.

Phonicshaskilledmeoff · 11/06/2026 22:39

I enjoy silly things in bathrooms 🤷‍♀️

InterestedDad37 · 11/06/2026 22:33

I like it - It'd make me smile 😀

Kelzzinsouth · 11/06/2026 18:50

I refuse to use the sickly ‘D’ reference!

Show quote history

"Hubster" is even more sickly. Why not just use "husband"?

Spookyspaghetti · 11/06/2026 22:30

What you ought to do now is take a photo of yourself dressed and posed like Mona Lisa holding her nose and hang it in the loo looking disapprovingly towards your husband every time he uses the bog.

SolveMyPrombles · 11/06/2026 22:28

Who cares what other people think! Do what you want if it doesn't hurt anyone!

TrickyD · 11/06/2026 22:27

Could have been worse. Could have been ‘hubby’.
