Your thoughts on this picture? updated - new PIP

[McGavin]

For a couple different reasons I was looking for something British for bedroom art.  What do you think of this one?  

Quirky and it works?  Or weird and odd choice for a bedroom?

I know ultimately it only matters if I like it but I looked at a thousand pictures and now I don't know what I like anymore.  I have to order online and don't want to pay to return it.

Your thoughts?

eta:  fun tip:  if you have iphone the panoramic camera is great for a tiny room!

 

I was also considering this photo.  Better? Worse?

I like it, especially since it's not the typical Union Jack or landmarks.

I like it! I'd probably do a dark brown frame (the color of the dresser) if you can.

Thanks for the panorama tip-- I'm an iphone newbie and had no idea it had that function! So cool!!

I like the idea of it, but unless it's tied in with some other art or accessories it isn't going to look right in the room. For example, the pillows, if they were a bright solid red that would help anchor it, but the red paisley doesn't speak to the red in the picture.

I agree. I like the photo but don't think it matches the style of the room.

I'm not about matching "art" to rooms. If it's really art and is properly framed, it'll work pretty much anywhere now and going forward. That picture is more of a decor piece which is fine if it's your style. It's kind of refreshing that it doesn't say "Keep Calm and blah.blah.blah".

I like this site for posters and photographs with a British feel.

I like the second option better. I feel like it's more flexible and less in your face.

I agree with this.  The second one seems more calm for a bedroom and like it would go with the overall tone of the room.

By another one that says "Mind the Gap" and you're good to go!

But I do love it.  Then again, I love all things British, so I may not be the best judge.

Mind the gap?  That's what the subway (tube) announcement says when the doors open and it's time to board.  Reminding you not to fall into the gap between the platform and the subway car.  Also posted everywhere.

I like the second one better.

[salliekate]

I like it! I always second guess myself on art and am disappointed that I didn't get what I really liked. So, do it!

[ktzmoh]

I love the second option, but both are great.

[pamela]

I prefer the second because there is more details to it, less "random" word.

[thewop]

Second.
