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

Who cleans the loo? They make the choice.

I’m not too sure I’d find it funny OP. Mostly folk will just be going for a pee?? and in that case are you commenting on the woman’s anatomy(?!) Maybe for a kiddies loo as it’d be a funny thing for kids. ☺️

By suggesting the OP might be “commenting on the woman’s anatomy”, do you mean the picture could insinuate that someone’s vagina smells? Because that’s quite a leap!

I do personally think it’s tacky, however I’m sure some people come to my house and think the same 🤷🏻‍♀️

This is your home, so crack on if you like it! I don’t think any reasonable person could take issue with you displaying it.

I've got a postcard mounted in a frame in my bathroom of a tyrannosaurus rex holding his little hands apart saying "I did a shit that was this big".

I actually laughed out loud at that!

Not my cup of tea but everyone is different.

I refuse to use the sickly ‘D’ reference!

What's wrong with 'husband'?
Everything is tacky; 'amusing' poster, the word 'hubster', and not least, 'wall art'.

AdventureAnonymous · 11/06/2026 19:28

Yes, it's tacky. Is that a problem?!

ChakaKan · 11/06/2026 19:30

YABVU for using the word hubster alone

A toilet is a great place for toilet humour.

I think that's what I think.

It isn't my own style personally, and I don't like gimmicky decor generally, but if I were going to have something like that, I think the loo is where I'd put it. I'd rather that than in my hallway or a "witty" car bumper sticker etc.

I wouldn't want it in my own loo, but I'd have a giggle if I saw it in someone else's

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.

This one would be a lot more subtly nuanced.

Nothing subtle about that.

I thought that was a grand canyon sized leap.

Surely you'd just assume it was intended for someone who wasn't doing a pee.

Tiedbutchorestodo · 11/06/2026 19:35

If you love it you should have it.

Personally I hate it but I don’t like toilet (or sweary) humour and I’m not a fan of “funny” art - I like my house grown up and boring 😣

MaryBeardsShoes · 11/06/2026 19:35

I think all these “haha you’re pooping” so-called-art prints are super cringe.

That's a kitchen poster @AWeeCupOfTeaAndAnIndividualFruitTrifle !😂

You're just makin' trouble now!

He’s accepted it’s staying..he gets little say in decor options, not that he’s usually interested. He gets to decide on the more manly decisions around DIY etc.

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).

I like it for a toilet, though, then it become slightly evil!

Imlyingandthatsthetruth · 11/06/2026 19:37

Your voting options are "it's tacky" or "it's harmless".

Is it tacky? IMO, yep, awful.

Is it harmless? Well, if your HUSBAND hates it, its probably a question of what your vistors will think. They might think "that's tacky", they might think "how humorous". They might think "why does their shit smell so bad they need to joke about it?"

What makes me think your going to get your own way?

FreddysFingers · 11/06/2026 19:37

Oh I like it OP! If you like it, put it up!

FasterMichelin · 11/06/2026 19:38

No tackier than naff wallpaper or overdone panelling.

Id say find something you both like and go with that. Dont worry about what random MNetters like.

TomatoSandwiches · 11/06/2026 19:38

Get one with her holding a magnifying glass I'm sure he will find that one hilarious.

I like it too - I'd have it in the main bathroom! 🤣🤣

Duckyfondant · 11/06/2026 19:40

I found the idea quite amusing but then I saw the picture itself and it is pretty tacky as well as not funny

TheFormidableMrsC · 11/06/2026 19:41

I love it! I’ve got some similar art in my bathroom 🤷🏻‍♀️

DressOrSkirt · 11/06/2026 19:41

It's tacky but there's nothing wrong with that if you like it!

EmbracingUncertainty · 11/06/2026 19:42

Googled it and I think in a downstairs loo I’d find it funny, not tacky, if it was maybe amongst a range of quirky prints.

What is tacky are those AI generated pictures of highland cows on the toilet. They’re shit.
