Looking For Wall Art Ideas

[Lof8]

To make a long story short, I recently split with my ex and have bought a nice little bachelor pad for myself. However, the walls are mostly bare and I'm looking for cool ideas of stuff to put up. Theres a company that makes wooden scale reproductions of famous racetracks for around $200 and I'm planning to order one of those.

I'm looking for other neat stuff along those lines - doesn't necessarily have to be car related. Thanks for any input.

I've always liked large photos. We had a few landscapes I took blown up to poster size and popped them up; looks nice.

Do a tiled print rasterbation of an e30 m3 or your car of choice. I had a Boondock Saint scene on the wall in my last appartment and it looked killer!

But then the walls will be all sticky

it's in my garage, but I made a memory wall if you will. I've done a lot of projects over the years and you always seem to have parts left over, so I started hanging them up.

That would be a solid start.

Brotha plzzz!

Car stuff does not a bachelor pad make. Unless you want to send the message I am car guy only I suggest you leave that décor idea for the garage.

If you want the ladies to come over and see some depth and have a return visit, take some time and plan the room.

Maybe one or two or three car accent pieces, a model and picture of you next to the ride, not a wall banner. Trust me. Some cheap wall art from Ikea would go further to set the mood that a frat boy take over.

ADDITIONALLY, keep the bathroom clean and invest in a room fragrance device. I have had more women come over and say, "I love coming over here. It always smells so nice and your bathroom is clean."

Don't get me wrong, I dig the hood idea. Had an 02 hood hanging from the ceiling. The comments ranged from, "is this your garage?" to "It smells like gas in here."

Your call. A place for the boys or something that says, "yes baby, its cozy inside."

even car art like this

Good point, my friend! I am certainly trying to make this place inviting for some ladies and promote the love making with said ladies. I intend to have a few car-related pieces, but entire hoods are definitely out.

8380 is a great suggestion, but any more ideas that are not car-related?

Not sure what your into but here are a few recommendations.

I have two of these on my wall at my place. The print is very nice and detailed. I love the DTM M3!!!

Nothing says "I'm a badass" like a Le Corbusier cow-hide chaise.
