Diy - 12 rectangular Michael's canvases - paint red/white on each... hang like an American flag....designers make a deal about the British flag... or other.
I think Everdebz's ladder rungs are very cool, and good for the space.
This solution would ask a lot of you in terms of art hunting -- I've totally faked the images from a painting at https://za.pinterest.com/pin/492299802991873445/. But the main thing is the idea of a gallery of reasonably large works that live well together. If I were to do this, and didn't have the art ready to hang, I would take a long time about finding the perfect pieces, and possibly get a good gallery on my side to help.
What is your budget? $200, $2000, $10000? At the lower end, photos or prints on canvas. If you have more $$ we can look for original art. Do you prefer representational (objects look like what they are), abstract(objects sort of look like what they are) or non-objective (no objects) art? Said you want color, well what color should predominate? Or just multicolored?
Only you know your taste, but I like a large abstract here. I found this at OneBigCanvas.com, where a 4x3' framed canvas is under $500 -- you might dig around there by category, color, artist, etc., and see if anything grabs you.
This one goes up to 60" wide for around $600 before the sale.
For $1000 you should be able to find a large (say 40" tall x 60" wide) canvas original (or two!) by a student or emerging artist. I'd consider going to school or other art fairs and figuring out what you really like. You may find an artist whose work appeals to you. You can also look on the internet, like Etsy, but I think we need to see a painting in person to really know how it looks. There are textures that will not be evident in a picture. Shopping for original art is really fun, but you do need to be patient. You probably won't discover the next Jackson Pollock, but you may discover artists who excite or enchant you.
I've seen this post at least 3 times. What are you doing, deleting and then asking again? Those little men climbing the walls are out that you said you liked....GET ARTWORK.
I can do this image as a 40"x60" canvas print. Here's the link in my gallery: Reflection I can post mock up tonight that places the canvas print in your room.
I agree local art fairs are great places. Not sure where you live, but Summer and Fall are great times of the year for purchasing artwork. I do art festivals myself, but I'm a photographer and offer my work on many mediums, one of them being canvas. But, if you are looking for painters, you can find many at well-run festivals that jury their artists. Let me know what state and I might know websites you can go to find what is in your area to attend.
Local art shows, student exhibits at local colleges, galleries, etc. sometimes independent frame shops carry work by local artists. Visit museums and galleries when you travel. Etsy.
I have been to some local art fairs and usually very expensive. I live in Florida. I am looking for something unusual. Either metal art or abstract painting. Probably 2 pictures side by side. Big and colorful.
