Wall Hangings / Pictures

Have a smallish hallway (think 1960s 3 bed semi) and looking for something to put on the walls (over downstairs radiator and top of stairs. Can't find anything I like. Want something to hang over the radiator downstairs (have a mirror on the opposite wall) and at top of the stairs but somehow the arrangement seems very boring. Not found anything in Wayfair, Laura Ashley, Next, Steven Brown. Pale beige hall way. Where do you look for pictures (or other ideas). Walls not big enough to do an 'art wall'

I have lots of original artwork around my house (one benefit of living next door to an artist!).

Some I've bought from craft fairs/antique shops, some from local auctions, I've found some in job lots and I have bought a lot of pencil or pastel drawings off Ebay - as well as those pictures I've bought from my neighbour. I've mostly bought the frames from Ikea or Ebay.

They're not expensive or valuable, but it does mean that they're unique. But more importantly , I bought each and every one because I feel a connection to them. I only have one large mass produced print/poster in the house, it's on my bedroom wall and I can't count the hours I laid in bed studying it and puzzling & wondering about it - it's a huge framed print of 'In thoughts of you' by Jack Vettriano.

I also have beautiful, framed, printed and embroidered silk squares going up the stairs.

So I would say, cast your net wide to find pictures that you really feel something about or absolutely love, not just something that matches the decor or what a million other people have on the wall.

This is one of the original drawings I recently bought on EBay:-

Hi Lovely,

Could you post a couple of pictures to give us a better idea? Are you looking for just some pictures or do you want to improve the hallway in general?

Thanks

Colours - which colour and where!?

This is the wall of my living room leading up to the stairs. We would like to paint a wall - hubby thinks wall with painting and chimney which protrudes from the wall. I'm inclined to think the back wall on either side of the chimney (more work). What do you think - we do have high ceilings... Now the second problem is the staircase...we will varnish the stairs the same colour as the parquet BUT...the banisters and upright were painted white at some point partially sanded and now look strange. I want to paint them because there is a lot of crevices and I think it will be too much work to sand it all done. We are leaning towards a darker colour - in the picture it looks black but in fact it's a a dark shade of blue. I was also thinking of F&Bs "Black Blue". I would like any and all suggestions on where to paint and colour ideas. Thanks so much!

Island or Peninsula ?

Hi sorry what is a peninsula? Your kitchen looks great like this. I would not build anything between the sink and the fridge for example, it wont be practical to work in this space

Art is such a personal thing. i may love something but you may hate it! I was going to suggest a mirror over the rad, but you have one opposite, so not ideal. What is your decor style? Have you tried Etsy? They have some fabulous posters that you can frame, and all seem pretty reasonable. Lots of pop art, maps and celebrity photos. For example my sister has a colourful map of Italy at the top of her stairs (our homeland). Is there a place you have an emotional link with? Etsy sell a lot of hand drawn posters of London, New York, Liverpool etc and they are beautiful, at about £15-20 a poster. They probably also do your home town too. Then buy the frames from The Range or Dunelm. . Worth a look.

I've bought art from King & McGaw in the past and they do beautiful prints, some limited editions, ranging from pop art to the classics. Prices start at about £100.

Here’s some ideas.

I would check out the prints for sale at the V&A and the Ashmolean museum.

Something we did was get photos that we loved from various holidays printed onto canvas relatively large or made collages of photos of places and got them printed, so that they reminded us of previous travels - we've stuck to landscape pics not ones with us in, but then that tends to be my preference with the photos I take anyway!
