Well I think the fact that all the other posters agree with me speaks for itself.
I have always hated them maybe because I have yet to see a nice one. Every plug in picture I seen just look so cheesey and tacky that I wouldnt even ahng them up if they were for free.
You'll never know until you try.
How can you say that! - I think anything with neon lights or fibre optics just adds a magical touch to a room - when you can combine lights and fake plants then you've hit the jackpot - pure class!!!!
Maybe you just haven't seen the picture that I am willing to donate - you have to see it to appreciate it - have a look

That should be alright, but be aware of the following: "Care should be taken to ensure that a build up of combustible paints does not reduce the classification of any wall or ceiling lining"- extract from Part B. Bearing this in mind it might be wise to limit the number of stars (and their size) you stick to the ceiling.
Have fun.
Not to worry Vanilla, I'm not too easily offended. I prefer those "singing fish" type pictures myself, but I respect that most people prefer the "light pictures". On a more serious note though it is important to select the correct type of wall fixing as some of those pictures can be very heavy, probably best to frame out the wall with some timber battens to ensure you get a good grounds. You could develop this as part of the decor perhaps? Fix battens at 600mm centres and paint them a different color (would that be Tudor style?) and paint the alternating vertical bands of plaster in different colurs, themed to match your accessories. Might be a bit fussy though, I suppose it would depend on the size of the room , it might be overpowering in a small room, decisions, decisions...
You're welcome, please post some pics when you're finished, it might be useful for other AAMers.

carpenter I know it's a lot to take in but really there's only one rule with home decorating - DON'T BE TACKY!
I saw it first, please form an orderly queue. Bob, are you in or out?
Vanilla, I love animal prints, especially Zebra, not sure sure about polar bear though. You can buy pretty naff animal print car seat covers, cut them down and with some basic sewing skills make some beautiful accessories for the home office- I'm thinking: animal print covered waste paper basket, coffee mug cosy etc. Enjoy your tea.Lads I'm going to have to go down the chipper now to get the tea but before I go I'll leave you with another idea- animal prints. Like it or love it?
