How to Choose the Right Prints for Your Space
Adding prints to your home is one of the easiest ways to elevate your décor, express your personality, and create a space that feels uniquely yours. But with so many options—photography, abstract art, landscapes, black-and-white images, and more—choosing the right prints can feel overwhelming. Whether you're designing a gallery wall, looking for a statement piece, or simply adding a touch of art to your space, here’s a guide to help you select the perfect prints for your home.
1. Consider Your Personal Style
Your home should reflect your taste and personality. Before choosing prints, think about what resonates with you. Are you drawn to minimalist black-and-white photography, vibrant travel landscapes, or modern abstract art? Identifying your style will help narrow down your choices and ensure your prints feel cohesive with the rest of your décor.
If you're drawn to travel photography and scenic landscapes, my collections features stunning prints from around the world, capturing breathtaking moments in time.
Some common styles include:
Modern & Minimalist: Simple, clean designs, black-and-white photography, geometric patterns.
Rustic & Cozy: Nature-inspired prints, warm-toned landscapes, vintage illustrations.
Bohemian & Eclectic: Bold colors, artistic portraits, travel photography, mixed media.
Classic & Elegant: Timeless black-and-white prints, soft landscapes, fine art photography.
2. Match Your Prints to the Room’s Mood
Each space in your home serves a different purpose, and your choice of prints should reflect that. Consider how you want to feel in each room and select prints accordingly.
Living Room: A focal point for social gatherings—opt for statement pieces or a curated gallery wall that sparks conversation. My coastal and cityscape prints make great statement pieces!
Bedroom: A place of rest—soft, calming landscapes, abstract art, or muted tones work well. Explore my serene mountain and nature photography for a tranquil touch.
Office or Workspace: A space for productivity—motivational prints, cityscapes, or creative artwork can keep you inspired. Check out my architectural prints to add structure and sophistication.
Kitchen & Dining Area: A lively space—food photography, vintage prints, or cheerful colors add warmth.
3. Choose the Right Colors
Color plays a huge role in setting the tone of a space. Consider the existing color palette of your room and choose prints that either complement or contrast with it.
Neutral Spaces: Add warmth with earthy tones or subtle black-and-white prints.
Bold & Vibrant Rooms: Opt for prints that feature a pop of color to enhance the energy.
Monochrome Interiors: Consider adding a striking contrast with an unexpected splash of color.
Many of my travel and cityscape prints feature bold yet balanced color palettes—browse my collection here to find one that suits your space.
4. Pick the Right Size & Layout
The size and placement of your prints matter just as much as the artwork itself. A well-placed print can balance a room, while an awkwardly sized one can throw off the aesthetic.
Large Statement Pieces: Ideal for above a sofa, bed, or fireplace—creates a striking focal point.
Gallery Walls: A mix of multiple prints in different sizes—perfect for adding character to large walls. Consider pairing my travel photography prints to tell a visual story.
Small Accents: Great for bookshelves, nightstands, or leaning against walls for a casual look.
5. Frame It Right
A good frame enhances the beauty of your print and ties it into your space. Consider different frame styles:
Minimalist Black/White Frames: Clean and modern, great for contemporary spaces.
Natural Wood Frames: Warm and organic, ideal for boho or rustic décor.
Metallic Frames: Elegant and chic, adding a touch of sophistication.
All of my prints are available in various sizes and framing options—shop the collection here to find the perfect fit for your home.
6. Mix & Match for Visual Interest
Don't be afraid to mix different types of prints for a dynamic look. Pair photography with abstract art, combine black-and-white with color, or mix different textures and styles to create a layered effect.
