Wall art to give your walls personality

Wall art is the finishing layer that makes a room feel truly yours — the framed prints, canvases and pictures that add colour, character and a focal point to a bare wall. Our range spans botanical and abstract prints, calming landscapes, typographic pieces and bold statement canvases, in framed and unframed options and a spread of sizes to suit a hallway, a living-room feature wall or a quiet corner of a bedroom.

Whether you're hanging a single statement piece, building a gallery wall or simply filling an empty space above the sofa, the guidance below will help you choose art and hang it at the right size and height — with fast UK delivery and 30-day returns on every order.

Choosing the right size

Scale is the most common thing people get wrong. Above a sofa, sideboard or bed, aim for art — or a group of pieces — that spans roughly two-thirds to three-quarters of the width of the furniture below, so it looks anchored rather than lost. A single small print on a large wall tends to float, so either size up or cluster several pieces to fill the space. In a hallway or narrow spot, a tall portrait piece or a vertical run of frames adds welcome height. When in doubt, one large piece often has more impact than several small ones scattered about.

Styles and where they suit

How to hang art at the right height

The classic gallery rule is to hang art so its centre sits at eye level — around 145 to 150cm from the floor. When hanging above furniture, leave a comfortable gap of roughly 15 to 20cm between the top of the piece and the bottom of the frame, so the two feel connected rather than adrift. For a gallery wall, lay the arrangement out on the floor first, keep a consistent gap of around 5 to 8cm between frames, and hang the central piece first before working outwards. Always use fixings suited to your wall type and the weight of the frame.

Framing, groupings and everyday care

Frames tie your art to the room. A consistent frame colour across a gallery wall keeps a mix of prints feeling cohesive, while a single statement frame can lift one hero piece. Mixing portrait and landscape orientations adds interest, and keeping to a shared palette across separate pieces draws a scheme together. Hang art out of prolonged direct sunlight to protect colours over time, and dust frames and glass gently with a soft, dry cloth, using a barely damp cloth on glazing where needed.

Wall art — frequently asked questions

What size wall art should I hang above a sofa or bed?

Aim for a piece, or a group of pieces, that spans roughly two-thirds to three-quarters of the width of the furniture below. This keeps the art in proportion and stops it looking lost on the wall.

How high should I hang wall art?

Hang art so its centre sits at eye level, around 145 to 150cm from the floor. Above furniture, leave a gap of roughly 15 to 20cm between the top of the piece and the bottom of the frame so the two feel connected.

How do I create a gallery wall?

Lay the arrangement out on the floor first to settle on spacing, keep a consistent gap of around 5 to 8cm between frames, and hang the central piece first before working outwards. A shared frame colour keeps a mix of prints looking cohesive.

Should I choose framed or unframed art?

Framed pieces are ready to hang and add a finished edge, while unframed prints and canvases give a cleaner, more contemporary look and let you choose your own frame. Both work well; it comes down to the style you are after.

How do I stop art fading or getting damaged?

Hang pieces out of prolonged direct sunlight to help protect the colours, and dust frames and glazing gently with a soft, dry cloth. Use fixings suited to your wall type and the weight of the frame so everything stays secure.

Do you deliver wall art safely, and can I return it?

Yes. Every piece is carefully packed for UK delivery and covered by our 30-day returns policy, so you can order with confidence.
