Barely anything on the walls

[Brushupanddown]

Inspired by another thread
Do you have many/any pictures on your walls? Looking around, we have four and they’re kind of crappy, I don’t know what the point of them really is, I don’t want them there. Would it be odd to have literally no pictures on the walls in my house? 🤷🏻‍♀️

We moved 4 or 5 months ago and still haven't got round to putting up all our pictures. I'm not keen on bare walls but each to their own. If you don't like what you have up, take them down and then think about what you would like to see, if anything.

[PastMyBestBeforeDate]

We have pictures in every room. Mixture of art, extended family or memorabilia.

I have loads in my kitchen, all really bright and funky, but I feel like my living room should be more grown up and I'm yet to find anything for it. I've got an IKEA print which is nice, but I'd love something more meaningful, had planned to look when on holiday last year, but of course we never went! One day..

I look at the tv or out of the window or at the people I am talking to.

I’ve got a few photos around the house of Dd, but not on the walls. I want something big for the living room wall but can’t find anything I like (and usually if I like it I can’t afford it!). I don’t like lots of little pictures, would rather one big or a plain wall

We have lots of photos of our living son and dogs up, our deceased son has his own special place, we also have some landscape photo prints and paintings on some walls. I find woods/forests/mountains calming so that's what the landscape photos/paintings are of. We also have an abstract painting in our bedroom because we like the colours and again find it calming. We are both the type of people who enjoy taking photographs and having physical photo albums though. I also have three of my guitars on the wall in the living room, partially because it encourages practice and partially because I think they are beautiful and art in their own right. It's your home have it how you like, don't change it if it won't make you happy.

I have actually find it mentally stressful to be in a room without something to look at.

I also find it stressful when rooms have some oddly placed photos usually up near the ceiling!

As I sit in living room, my eye falls on so many things, pictures... Painting, photos... Ornaments!

I can't imagine a blank plain wall!

What do you look at!

[Moondust001]

My entire house looks like a museum of culture (or so someone said who visited it for the first time). Indonesian boar spear, collection of photos I took of the Northern Lights, Moroccan burnished metalwork, Palestinian Christian scented wax icon, painting of one of my dogs, Omani limited edition print... and that's just the living room chimney breast.

Thank God I am never moving again.

We have lots of lovely art. We went through a few years of buying pictures for each other for birthday and Christmas presents and we have some nice stuff now. It's a mixture of prints, photography, paintings from local artists and pictures from places that we love to visit. We've pretty much run out of space now.

Recently redone living room and have three 1920s art travel posters framed (not huge) large vintage world map and a painting by late MiL.

A Shirley Hughes original

[BuyYourOwnBBQGlenda]

I have a couple of limited edition prints of the town my grandparents hail from, bought whilst visiting my grandma the last time I saw her alive. An oil painting of the boating lake in my hometown. My grandma's barometer. A Shirley Hughes original (looks just like my daughter as a tot). Framed the garden design we commissioned for our first house together. And some mirrors. We are about to move into a ~4000sqft home where the previous owners had LOADS on the walls and it might look strange but I hate having naff stuff on the wall just as filler.

I've bought IKEA prints in the past just to have something and always end up giving them to the chazza shop as they very soon just remind me of being in a cheap B and B!

It's Farrow and Ball arsenic, I use the tester pots to paint things.

@Cocolapew

Thanks, no it used to be black. I paint with emulsion

Wow! 👍

A large clock and a couple of mirrors. Dh has a map of our borough bought during lockdown.

[quote MadMadMadamMim]@Cocolapew I absolutely love your room! Particularly the funky mint coloured stove!

I have quite a lot of paintings up. I do quirky and eclectic rather than minimalist.[/quote]
It's cool alright. Did it come like that or did you paint it, Cocolapew?

[Bluntness100]

I think rooms look very empty with nothing on thr walls, it reminds me of student digs or rentals where you’re not allowed.

We do but it’s a mix of inherited art, some art I bought that I loved, and most of it is antique, but we live in an old house.

I've been in my house 21 years, and on my walls I have:
living room - a print of a watercolour lamb that was my granny's, a pastel landscape that my granddad did and gave to me when I was 17, a watercolour of some haystacks that my grandad also did, a couple of very old family photos. Also an artwork I bought from one of my students' graduation exhibitions about 5 years ago and which I finally got round to putting up.
kitchen - a metal advertising poster from the 50s (?) for French chocolate
upstairs - a pink flower macro ikea print thing, and a dotty canvas I made with nail varnish several years ago, as well as a framed map of Middle Earth which was on my bedroom wall all through my childhood, and which has fold marks and pin holes and my name scribbled on the bottom.

I do have a couple of small framed family photos on bookshelves, but no more than 3 or 4.

[Crunchymum]

Our wall pictures are from photo's of the Grand Canyon, Mount Everest and The Colosseum (DP climbed to base camp.... I wasn't even there but it's a wonderful painting )

[Crunchymum]

We have the grand total of 3 paintings.on the wall (all landscape - from photos - of places we've been painted by a friend)

We have loads of framed pictures (photos and paintings - by another friend) on shelves and we have massive mirrors in a few rooms which take up a whole wall.

One of the bedrooms have a framed patchwork quilt that someone made for DC1. It was too pretty to actually use for the kids.

We have tons, I love photograph, maps and prints. We have photos from my travels, photos of the dogs, Canadian landscape and wildlife photos, maps, art prints, a few very special paintings of the dogs that I had commissioned and some family/friend photos. It's a fairly big house so doesn't look cluttered but other than photos/pictures we don't really have many knick knacks or ornaments etc. There's a local photographer (based in Banff) who I absolutely love, he takes the most incredible wildlife and landscape photos in this part of Canada and in Alaska. We have a few of his photos including a huge framed print of the one attached here which is on a big mezzanine wall by itself and is one of the first things you see when you walk into the house. I adore it.

[LaurieSchafferIsAllBitterNow]

I have a wall I papered with old maps and that has small white framed photos of days out on it.

Colour themed plates in the kitchen....just charity shop stuff

Big canvas from a photo I took of the aurora locally

Only other things on the walls are mirrors. I love the vintage-y ones and have loads of different sizes...I want more but we may be moving so will wait until we are settled to get them.
