I'm making an "inspiration board" for my room and want to print art from the web that inspires me. I am not intending for anyone to see this but me and these won't be used commercially AT ALL. They're just something to trigger my creative process and help me refine what I like. Is it legal to do this? I don't want to infringe on anyone's copyrights and the definitions of "fair use" I've seen are a little confusing.

I don’t think there wil be legal problems with that since you are using it only for personal reasons and you are not redistributing it
a lot if it depends on where you got it and whether or not the author copyrighted it or not? :0)
It IS perfectly legal. This falls within copyright law’s “Fair Use” doctrine.
