Humour Affiches d’art

Bathrooms and home offices are the two spaces where humorous wall art really earns its keep. A witty art print above the loo is basically a public service for your guests, and a funny print in your office breaks the monotony of video calls. Living rooms work too, but we'd suggest going for clever or subtle humour there rather than outright slapstick. A single framed funny print at 40x50cm is perfect for a bathroom, while a larger 50x70cm piece makes a proper statement behind a desk.

The trick is framing quality and restraint. One or two witty art prints in solid wood frames look intentional and grown-up. A dozen unframed posters tacked to the wall with blu-tack look like freshers' week. Our funny art prints come properly fitted in FSC-certified wood frames with UV-protective glazing, so they genuinely look like gallery pieces that happen to make people laugh. Pair them with more serious artwork on nearby walls and the contrast actually elevates both.

They're actually one of our most popular gift categories, precisely because they show you know someone well enough to match their sense of humour. The key is picking something that references an inside joke or a shared taste rather than something generically "funny." Sarcastic wall art prints tend to land brilliantly for close friends, while quirky art prints with a visual twist are safer for colleagues or family. Every print arrives ready to hang with fixtures attached, so your recipient doesn't need to faff about finding a framer. And our 99-day returns policy means there's zero risk if the joke doesn't land.

The 57-inch rule (hanging art so the centre sits at eye level, roughly 57 inches from the floor) is a solid starting point for living rooms and hallways, but bathrooms are different. Most people see bathroom art while seated, so we'd recommend hanging your funny bathroom art prints lower than usual, with the centre around 50 inches from the floor. Above the toilet, aim for about 15cm above the cistern. A 30x40cm or 40x50cm framed print is the sweet spot for that wall space.

Absolutely, and honestly we think this is the best way to use funny art prints. A gallery wall that's entirely jokes becomes overwhelming, but one or two witty prints scattered among landscapes, abstracts, or photography creates moments of surprise that make people actually stop and look. Stick to a consistent frame finish across the whole arrangement to tie it together. Our framed prints come in black, white, and natural wood, so pick one colour and commit. For a gallery wall above a sofa, a mix of five to seven pieces in varied sizes (from 21x30cm up to 50x70cm) with one humorous print as the centrepiece works brilliantly.
