We’re serious about art, ask away
From sizing to framing and print quality, Fab's art experts break it all down—so you can find the right art for your space.
Which water lily art print size works best above a sofa or bed?
For a standard UK sofa or double bed, we'd go with a 70x100cm framed water lily print every time. It fills the wall without overwhelming the furniture beneath it, and it sits perfectly at eye level when you're standing. Our framed prints arrive ready to hang with fixtures already attached, so you're not faffing with separate frames that never quite fit. If your space is smaller (a reading nook or narrow hallway), a 50x70cm print gives you that same lush, immersive feel at a more compact scale.
Do water lily prints work in bedrooms or are they better suited to living spaces?
Water lily prints are genuinely one of the best subjects for bedrooms. The soft greens, blues, and muted pinks create exactly the kind of calm, low-stimulation atmosphere you want in a space designed for rest. We'd recommend placing a single large waterlilies wall art piece above the headboard as your focal point, rather than scattering smaller prints around the room. Our museum-grade giclée prints on thick matte paper have zero glare, so even with a bedside lamp casting light sideways, you won't get that annoying reflection that cheaper glass-fronted frames give you.
How do I choose between a Monet water lilies print and a more modern botanical style?
It depends on the mood of your room. If you have warm, layered interiors with natural textures like linen and wood, a Monet water lilies print brings that rich, impressionist depth that complements those materials beautifully. If your space is more pared-back and contemporary, with clean lines and neutral walls, a modern botanical water lily print with flatter colour and sharper detail will feel more at home. Both styles look stunning in our solid wood frames, but we'd lean towards a natural oak frame for Monet-inspired pieces and a clean black frame for contemporary botanical takes.
Will a water lily print fade if it's hung near a window?
Not with ours. Our framed art prints use UV-protective acrylic glazing that prevents fading even in direct sunlight, and our giclée inks are rated to last hundreds of years. So if you have a bathroom wall that catches morning light or a sun-drenched conservatory, your water lily art print will hold its colour. This is genuinely one of the biggest differences between a museum-grade print and a cheap poster. If you've been burned before by prints that washed out within a year, this won't happen here.
Why have water lilies been such an enduring subject in art?
Water lilies sit at an intersection of symbolism that very few other subjects manage. In Eastern traditions, the lotus flower represents spiritual purity and renewal. In Western art, Monet's waterlilies series turned them into a meditation on light, colour, and the passage of time. That dual resonance is why waterlilies artwork never feels dated or trend-dependent. Whether you're drawn to them for their calming palette or their deeper symbolism, they bring a quiet authority to a room that generic florals simply don't.
