I had posters from the Lord of the Rings movies on my wall...mm Viggo Mortensen. I liked them because I could drool over them in private but they didn't make me look like a middle schooler. My room through college had two themes: LOTR and clouds...all my bedding, my lampshades, my drapery, and my phone were in cloud print.
With the poster thing, it totally depends on what you put up. A Pulp Fiction poster will not make you look like a 12-year-old girl. Neither will a collection of liquor ads. All through high school my walls were papered in various ads taken from British music magazines. The general effect was very cool, and I got compliments from nearly everyone who saw it.
Right now the things adorning my walls: photographs of Paris through the ages, some art by TFPer kramus, and liquor ads. Pick something you like and find something that fits--be it pictures from your last vacation, postcards people have sent you, or an old calendar you tear apart.
