I like still lifes, landscapes and sci fi/fantasy stuff as well. For me what it boils down to is whether I like something no matter what mood I'm in.

For example, I can appreciate nudity or near-nudity much better later in the day, but can't stand it during breakfast (not even the classics). Any thing with personal violence and/or gore is usually right out, although spaceships shooting at each other or distant explosions don't bother me quite so much. I probably would never have them in the living room, though.

Curiously, I have put three of my own pictures on the wall behind my computer monitor. On the other walls are a mola (Central American fabric art, origally used on clothing) and a copy of a still life by a not-very well known artist.
