People pay money to rent a couch for the living room and to buy flowers for the window. I (very roughly) calculate the display value of an item displayed in a home to be $100 per year.
People are sometimes intimidated about buying fine art photographs ('What if it's a fake?,' etc). I tell them that if you pay under $80, really like the image and are buying it to hang from the wall, there's little to worry about. Even if it turns out to be a fake, it's probably still worth $50 in display and eye-candy value.
