How to Choose Wall Art You Will Love Forever (No Regrets!)

Pick by Colour (it’s cheaper than redecorating!)

• Kitchen → yellows & oranges (lemons, sunflowers, cornflowers) – instant mood-lift with your coffee
• Bedroom → blues & soft greens – seascapes, forests, anything that whispers “shhh, go back to sleep”
• Home office → greens – proven to calm eyes and boost focus
• Kids’ rooms → gentle pinks or playful pastels – calming yet fun
• Tiny/dark rooms → mostly white or light artwork – makes the space feel bigger

Pick by Size (avoid the “floating lonely picture look)

• Above the sofa: art no wider than ⅔ the sofa length
• Bottom edge of frame 15–25 cm above furniture
• Small wall? Go big or group several small ones
• High ceilings? Use tall vertical pieces or stack them

Pick by Room

Kitchen – the most neglected room for art! Pop cheerful prints above cabinets or on that awkward narrow wall. Food quotes, florals or anything that makes you smile while burning toast.

Bedroom – your sanctuary. One large calming piece over the bed (eye level when standing). Think misty landscapes, gentle seascapes, or abstract blues/greens. Keep frames simple.

Bathroom – yes, really! Bright, punchy prints for the morning wake-up or serene spa vibes over the bath. 

Living Room – the “wow” room. Go bold: one statement canvas or a full salon-style gallery wall. This is where guests go “oooh where did you get THAT?”
