Pictures from magazines. That's cheap.  If you find someone throwing out music magazines, you can take the covers and make something that's close to poster size.

Otherwise, actual posters, but then you have to pay.  But if you like it, it's worth while.  Get several and then you can change things around during the year.

Good for giving people the poster idea for gifts too.

I've picked up a few little busts of composers that look pretty good on my shelves.

Personally I find a piano and scores in a room look good on their own and I don't have much desire to put them on the walls as well...  I think regular artwork is just as inspiring, a landscape, flora (actual plants would be even better), sculptures, masks, swords...  whatever a persons tastes may be.  I think too much music-themed images could get a bit monotonous.  The landscape painting on the wall and the music in the air may have a similar inspiration behind their expressions, and complement each other.

I've seen some very nice art in local galleries for sale. If only I had the money to spare :-\

Take one of George Crumb's scores and hang it on your wall. Some of them are quite beautiful.
