Art Prints

The simplest rule: your print should fill roughly two-thirds the width of whatever sits below it. So above a standard UK sofa (around 200cm wide), a large art print of 100x70cm or a pair of 50x70cm prints side by side will look intentional rather than lost. If you're filling a blank wall with nothing beneath it, go as large as you can. Our prints go up to 70x100cm, which is a genuine statement size and far more impactful than the small frames most people default to. When in doubt, bigger is almost always better.

It comes down to materials and longevity. A poster is typically printed on thin, glossy paper using standard inks that fade within a couple of years, especially near a window. Our art prints use museum-grade giclée printing on thick matte paper with inks rated to last hundreds of years, even in direct sunlight. The finish has zero glare and real depth of colour, which is why so many of our customers say their prints look even better in person than on screen. If you've ever had a poster curl at the corners or fade to a washed-out shadow of itself, you already know the difference.

Framed, unless you already own frames you love and know the exact measurements. The biggest reason people end up with disappointing wall art is poor framing: warped MDF, prints that bubble or shift, or the hassle of buying a frame separately and realising it doesn't quite fit. Our framed art prints arrive ready to hang with the print properly fitted into a solid FSC-certified wood frame with UV-protective acrylic glazing. You open the box, hang it, done. It's one of the things our customers comment on most, and honestly, it's where we think we really shine.

It depends on the look you're going for, but they suit different rooms. Art prints behind glass have a refined, gallery feel that works brilliantly in living rooms, hallways, and bedrooms where you want a polished finish. Canvas prints have a textured, more relaxed presence and can go larger (up to 150x100cm with us), making them ideal for open-plan spaces or above a dining table where you want real visual impact without the formality of a frame. If you're after a contemporary, minimal vibe, canvas is hard to beat. For a classic, curated wall, go with a framed art print.

The key is committing to a thread that ties them together, whether that's colour palette, subject, or print style. A gallery wall of three to five prints works best when they share at least one of those elements. For example, a set of abstract art prints in muted tones looks cohesive above a sideboard, while mixing vintage and modern styles in the same palette can give a living room real personality. Keep frame styles consistent (all black, all natural oak) and hang the centre of your arrangement at roughly eye level, around 150cm from the floor. Avoid scattering small prints across a large wall; cluster them tightly with 5-8cm gaps for a grouped, intentional look.
