What is on your wall

Finishing up undergrad this semester and moving to nyc. I live in a fraternity house so decorations are as you imagine (flags, posters, etc.). Looking to get some ideas from you guys on how a recent grad's apartment should be decorated. Im guessing that my college decorations wont fly, but I'm also not ready to decorate super formal with expensive art or anything like that.

 

artcanvas pieces on Amazon are good for tasteful yet low-rent. better than a poster, but not the kinda investment you need for framing a nice piece of art

I think you get a piece or two of art, maybe a framed folded American flag, and a couple of low maintenance plants (succulents, air plants, spider plants). enough so that people don't think you're using it as a trap house, but not so much that if you need to move you've got a ton of shit to carry with you

I also have like a 12' American flag covering most of the ceiling in my office

Notable other things: A Putin-satire-themed bathroom, Mona Lisa shooting up painting, Madonna giving a dead baby a bottle, vinyl collection... my wife's steadily putting up photo walls, lots of paintings my wife and I both painted, the biggest old school world map I could find, some of those horizontal tapestry thingies from Japan, some cool 3D heads. I also like my Churchill holding a tommy gun framed photo thingie. Lot of random shit.

Get some clocks. Cool clocks are like $20 on Target.com. Also IKEA has cool wall clocks.

But seriously, I have a giant mirror full of equations and diagrams for my work and research.

Besides that I have a small multi-colored wolf painting I got as a gift. I love animals, especially wolves so I actually like it. The wolf is staring right at you and sometimes at night it feels like the eyes look like they're glowing. Kinda looks like this but more visceral.Wolf

 

yeah sure they do. I was too lazy to buy art or posters and that was the only thing I had.

Looks good to me.

ps: I haven't even unpacked yet. all my stuff remains in boxes until I move out. haha.

I have large paintings on the walls. Most of them are mine, but there are a few other artists as well.

eBay has a ton of cool antique print ads for pretty cheap. I bought some vintage print ads / magazine covers for things I'm interested in and some vintage travel posters in a neat art deco style advertising my city. The best part is there's a pretty standard 8.5x11 size, so you can get a bunch of cheap frames off Amazon and it looks more coordinated than it is
