Finding the perfect wall art for your home can instantly transform a room—making it feel warmer, more stylish, and more “you.” But with so many prints, canvas styles, and décor trends out there, choosing artwork can feel overwhelming. Don’t worry—this guide breaks it down into simple steps…
Start With Your Room’s Mood
Before picking any print, think about how you want the space to feel.
-
Calming vibe: Choose neutral abstract wall art, minimalist line art, or soft botanical prints
-
Bold and creative: Go for modern abstract canvas prints or colorful geometric wall art
-
Warm and cozy: Try earth-tone landscape prints or rustic nature wall art
Choose the Right Size
The biggest mistake people make is choosing art that’s too small.
As a rule of thumb:
Over a sofa or bed → Artwork should be about 2/3 the width of the furniture
Gallery wall → Start with 3–6 pieces in varied sizes
Small spaces → Choose vertical prints to draw the eye upward
Match Your Colour Palette
Your art doesn’t need to match your furniture perfectly—but it should complement it. Try one of these strategies:
-
Match one accent colour from your pillows or rug
-
Use opposite colours (ex: blue + warm neutrals) for contrast
-
Stick to monochrome for a clean, modern aesthetic
Pick Artwork That Tells a Story
Your home should feel personal. Choose pieces that reflect:
-
Places you’ve traveled
-
Art styles you feel connected to
-
Colours you naturally gravitate toward
-
Themes that bring inspiration (nature, minimalism, culture, architecture)
Art isn’t just decoration—it’s a visual representation of your personality.
Consider Your Home’s Aesthetic
Different décor styles pair better with certain artwork:
Modern / Contemporary
Go for: abstract canvas prints, geometric wall art, neutral modern art
Boho / Scandinavian
Try: nature-inspired prints, earthy botanical art, warm minimalism
Mid-Century Modern
Choose: retro abstract shapes, bold colour blocking, organic line art
Traditional
Select: landscape wall art, classic floral prints, painterly textures
Mix Shapes, Textures, and Frames
If your room feels flat, use your wall art to introduce texture.
Canvas prints for a soft, gallery-style look
Framed prints for clean lines and structure
Mixed media for texture and depth
Black frames for contrast
Natural wood frames for warmth
Create a Gallery Wall (The Easy Way)
Gallery walls are trending and incredibly easy to personalize.
Steps:
Pick a theme (colour, style, mood)
Mix sizes for visual flow
Lay everything on the floor before hanging
Keep 2–3 inches between frames
Don’t Be Afraid of Large Pieces
Oversized artwork makes a space feel intentional and elevated. Use a large abstract canvas or panoramic landscape print as the room’s focal point.
Final Thoughts:
Choose Art That Makes You Feel Something
The best wall art isn’t about matching trends—it’s about choosing something that inspires you every day. Whether your style is modern, minimalist, colourful, or neutral, the right art can completely transform your home.
