Choosing artwork for your walls can feel overwhelming, but it’s one of the most rewarding ways to personalise your home. The right piece of art can tie a room together, reflect your personality, and even influence your mood. Here are a few simple tips to help you select artwork that feels just right:

1. Start with What You Love

Forget trends—begin with pieces that genuinely speak to you. Whether it’s a vibrant abstract, a peaceful landscape, or a quirky illustration, art should evoke emotion or spark interest.

2. Think About Scale

Size matters. A large piece can make a bold statement, especially in open spaces like living rooms or above the bed. Smaller pieces work well in groups (think gallery walls) or in more intimate spaces such as hallways or bathrooms.

3. Match the Mood

Art can enhance the atmosphere of a room. Soft tones and calm imagery work well in bedrooms, while bold, energetic pieces can liven up kitchens, home offices, or entrance halls.

4. Coordinate, Don’t Clone

Your artwork doesn’t have to match your décor exactly. Instead, look for pieces that complement the existing colours, textures, and themes in your space. This creates a layered and curated look.

5. Don’t Forget Framing

Our artwork is usually sold unframed, giving you the freedom to choose a frame that best matches your space and personal taste to fit seamlessly into your room. It also allows for more flexibility, whether you prefer a sleek mount, modern and minimal or something more eclectic colourful or decorative.

6. Experiment and Evolve

Art doesn’t have to be permanent. Feel free to move pieces around, rotate them seasonally, or swap them out as your style evolves. Your home should reflect your current self, not just a fixed aesthetic.
