To not let husband put picture of a scull on living room wall?

[twirlywoo69]

Husband ace and we make joint decisions of most house stuff. He has seen a print of a drawing of a big black scull and wants to buy it to put on living room wall. I think it's horrid and dark and it's just not my taste at all (other prints in the house are of bright flowers!) I feel bad saying he can't have it but I really don't want it in the house as it doesn't go with anything, I've said no but feel bad.. AUBU?... or selfish? I just really don't like it!

I don't like that at all. It wouldn't be hung on our living room.

I might compromise on somewhere else less public in the house though.

Saying that we did used to have a huge picture in my dining room that would cause guests to quietly say to DH "that's not very Anna, how on earth did you get away with that?

It was rather, erm, niche but I grew to like it. I'd draw the line at a skull though.

I quite like it. But maybe not for the living room. It's go in the toilet in our house.

Our living room has a big collection of prints and pictures up behind the sofa and we are planning more. There is a real mix of "my taste" and "dh's taste" however the compromise we have is that they all share a colour pallette so they all fit well in the room even though they are a broad range of content.

I've ordered two more for dh's birthday - a sort of abstract oil painting style one Predator and one Alien; his two favourite movies. However they are the perfect colour to match the living room.

nap they sound awesome.

In our new-buying-it-next-year forever home were planning a collage type wall in our living room. Of our favourite things. All black and white prints.

Think if you've got a lot of art up that you like, then he should have something he likes.
Doesn't really matter if people on here don't like it, your dh does.
There's a skull in our room, not my taste, but then i have scattered pet photos and scented candles everywhere, not my dh's taste

nap i would love those!

Hmm, I'd like it, but DH wouldn't.
We agree that our lounge has to be 'naice' stuff - actually, mainly ds's photography.
Study, which is dh's mancave, it's up to him. My den, all Doctor Who stuff. We had an iffy poster once - put it in the loo - people said it scared the...
I think there's a huge difference between putting up with something you don't particularly like, and having to put up with something that gives you the creeps.

God, that is absolutely vile. No way would it go on the walls in my house.

I hate the skull and the Obey poster.

OH and I have different tastes and we both have the right of veto on each other's art choice.
If one of us hates a piece then that right trumps' the other's right to hang it.
There is no "need " to hang a certain picture and if the OH hates it their right not to have to see it every day is more important.
We have only one piece of artwork in the whole house- three large canvasses of a forest scene in the dining room. We both like it.
