Wall Decor?

8790POSTS

16 years ago

Now that I've gotten out of the 'roommate from hell' situation and have my own place, I'm investing a few bucks to fix it up!

I have bought kitchenware, throw pillows, etc. but I need some wall art at a reasonable price. I could go with the Saudi type with palm trees, etc., or am considering framed posters (vintage travel posters rock!).

Any ideas/suggestions where to buy reasonably priced wall decor (not looking for original Picasso's lol)? Or posters? If I can get posters, any ideas where to get them framed?

THANKS!

Hi Aticus,

I've looked though the IKEA catalog and didn't see much. Is there more at the actual store than in the catalog?

Thanks!

Alliecat,

Im finally back in KSA and doing the same thing. Musicman is correct, the SACO store has some nice prints, etc. Also try the furniture stores. They all have some nice home accessories, wall decore, fake plants, lamps, rugs, etc. Let me know if your interested in shopping.

And BTW, I noticed that there is a frame shop near our house (near the EID compound & Granada Mall). Im sure there are more in the city, but this is the only one I've seen.

Burnhan has left this same response on several threads.

My thought is that he wants to join in/be noticed but doesn't quite know what to say? lol

Allicat i think there is a place i know which has contemporary art, abstract , rock , historic posters that come in light frames , if thats what you need, but its long since i've been there, let me check and get back. I think you may find a lot of variety there.

Also i highly recommend DIY stuff, there is more of a feel into these things. There a lot of DIY articles i know, and i was thinking of creating a thread with a mixture of DIY stuff, any requests ?
