Large wall art that is about you.

UAE villas are built with tall ceilings and long walls: a majlis of five metres, an entrance hall rising through two floors. They are often filled with large canvases from the mall, abstract and pleasant and identical to the neighbour's. Personal art at this scale is rare, because most personal pictures are photographs that do not survive enlargement.

A telescope photograph of a galaxy does. It was made to be studied at full size, and printed at a metre wide it shows dust lanes and star clusters you can walk up to.

• 40 × 50 in, 102 × 127 cm, AED 8,900. An entrance feature wall, above a king bed, a standard dining room. Our hero size.
• 32 × 40 in, 81 × 102 cm, AED 4,900. A study, a dressing room, above a queen bed or a console in a corridor.

For a majlis wall wider than three metres, consider two artworks side by side: the parents' wedding and the first child's birth, for instance.

A black wood box frame, 20 mm face and 33 mm deep, with clear acrylic glazing and no mount. Acrylic rather than glass because it is lighter on a high wall and does not shatter. The print is fine art paper, and the gold text is printed colour, not foil.

Hang it on an inside wall away from direct afternoon sun, as you would any photograph. Air-conditioned rooms are ideal; avoid walls beside a kitchen or a steam room. Dust the frame with a dry cloth, never a cleaning spray on the acrylic.
