    You could buy a blank canvas from Internationale and paint it to match your colour scheme. You don't even have to be artistic, as it could be stripes or random paint spots. Alternatively, you could buy a roll of wallpaper in appropriate colours and glue it onto the canvas

    Have you looked in B&M? I know its not the first place you would think of - but they did have a reasonable selection.

    Otherwise there is a company called "The Range" based in most towns - their artwork is also pretty good.

    If it has to be abstract though - i would go down the DIY route

    What is B&M ?

    There's no company called the Range here, what do they do ?

    Are you sure you mean cm and not inches 90cm is about 3 feet - not big really

    Ebay - you can specify size, colours etc.
  • Have you tried Easyart - they probably aren't the cheapest around but I have just had my second order delivered.

    All have been on time, to specification, and look fantastic.

    There's normally a few codes handing around as well.

    Good luck

    Easyart are great and so are Allposters - splash out on the frame to make it look expensive. You can specify colours and styles to limit the choice. Other suggestion would be to look at some galleries online or in person: Tate do various posters, many of which are abstract.

    What colours/styles do you like? I'll offer suggestions if you can give some ideas.
