1.Create an Asian flair with a Hokusai print. Katsushika Hokusai was a Japanese artist who lived from 1760 to 1849. "Thirty-six Views Of Mount Fuji", a woodblock print series, which includes the famous "The Great Wave off Kanagawa", is his most best know work. "The Great Wave off Kanagawa" is calming and powerful. A great choice in an Asian themed room, it would work equally well in a nautical theme, or in any space you desire a bit more character. Any Hokusai print is a wonderful addition to your Far East decor, or a perfect accent in a modern space. Complement your new theme with a bamboo plant or a paper lamp.
2.If you love the ocean, why not decorate with a lighthouse poster? Lighthouse pictures convey so many emotions - freedom, power, safety - to name just three. Hanging a lighthouse poster in your work space can inspire you to do great things. Look for one with a motivational saying for even more inspiration.
3.Are you looking for a ski chalet feeling? Do you dream of living in the mountains? Is mountaineering or skiing a favorite pastime? Capture your passion with a vintage ski poster. The bold graphics and nostalgic mountain scenes are a perfect addition to your home. Look for pieces crafted out of wooden planks for even more alpine flair!
4.If you love the glamor and dazzle of old Hollywood, then a Marilyn Monroe poster is perfect for you. Not many things capture old Hollywood glamor better than a print of Marilyn Monroe. Add a poster to your entertainment room for a touch of style and sexiness. Try using a black and white image if you already have a lot of color in your room.
5.Or maybe you prefer the classy, flirtatious style of Audrey Hepburn. She is the ultimate symbol of style, sophistication, and playfulness. An Audrey Hepburn print is a natural addition to an entertainment area, even right alongside a Marilyn Monroe poster. Ladies, add an Audrey Hepburn poster to your dressing space, to help you feel a little more glamorous as you prepare for the day.
6.A Casablanca poster is another great way to capture the golden age of film. If you love classic movies, you've got to hang a Casablanca print in your home. Hang one in your dining room or bar to remind you of Rick's Cafe Americain. You'll be reminded of your favorite scenes from the movie every time you pass by!
7.Take a step back in time with a Gone With The Wind poster. Adding a Gone With The Wind poster to your home will transport you to an older, more dignified time. It's an excellent accent, whether you're into old movies, or you enjoy the historic Southern decor. Frame it with a decorative, vintage frame for even more impact.
8.Add a piece of classic Americana with a Norman Rockwell print. Norman Rockwell captured Americana at its best. Place one of his classic images in your library or reading area. It will remind you of a time when family values, strong community and hope were every day occurrences.
9.If you have a Western theme, then a cowboy or horse poster is the perfect decorating statement. Capture the freedom of the open range, the power of a herd of horses, or the adventurous spirit of the old West in your space! Add a rustic, wooden frame, and a few Western accents, like a cow hide rug, to complete the look.
10.Try decorating with a Pablo Picasso poster. If your style is modern, artsy or eclectic, then a Picasso poster is perfect for you. It will be a great addition to any room where you want a splash of color, or a bit of whimsey. Keep the framing minimal, or go for a frameless canvas print for the most impact.
I hope these ideas get your imagination flowing! Using your creativity and a few well planned prints, you can easily transform your space.
Happy decorating!
