Anyone else really struggle with filling wall space? I've been trawling a ton of websites trying to find something that catches my eye but having awful luck. Unless you want a picture of Audrey Hepburn, 'Keep Calm' shite or a New York cityscape pickings seem to be slim

I need help, please suggest any good sites to look at or show us what you have in your house

We are in the same situation, we have one large wall that's just empty space so our idea was to buy lots of little frames in different sizes and then add photos of our lad and us in them to make some random wall coverage.

Alternatively you could find an image you like as a very high res and print it out on 3 separate canvas' to fill out space? Something like a triptych?

Thought about super-sized canvas prints:

Or acrylic / perspex wall-mounted art? That can look badass.

http://www.wallartrockers.com/46-Simon-Weaner-Contemporary-3D-render--CG-fantasy-art-sci-fi-landscape-large-format-acrylic-wall-art-.htm

Either of the above works in a triptych stylee as mentioned above:

Or crazy abstract metal wall art:

Many of these places will do you a canvas or acrylic/perspex print from your own photos, or a photo montage, or whatever you want really.

Buy a massive blank canvas and some acrylic paints, go wild and throw them about a bit, make something unique. And cheap.

Got same problem, need something behind the bed in bedroom and in living room. Ended up framing 3 club posters in livingroom, adds a bit of colour and not seen the same anywhere else unlike the usual skyscraper or that jetty into a lake picture that you see everywhere.

Next home, homesense, the range.

Homesense is probably the best if you want stuff thats different to the usual argos stuff. Most of there bits are hand painted.

Take a look on http://www.expressobeans.com if you want some 'proper' street art/film posters/screen prints. The forum usually has posts telling you when artists are selling stuff and the gallery lists art and has links to people selling pieces.

I've got a couple of canvas' that fit perfectly onto the bare walls I had in the living room. They are both of New York - one is a large skyline with the World Trade Center towers in the background, whilst the other is a tall thin canvas that is B&W apart from a yellow cab in the foreground.

I've also got this printed on a 30x20 inch canvas in the living room:
