What Art Goes Where: The Room-by-Room Guide

Every room asks a different question of its walls. The living room wants presence, the bedroom wants quiet, the bathroom wants a joke. The complete room-by-room answer, with a ready-made wall for each.

Living room: presence

The living room wall is the one guests actually look at, so it takes either one oversized statement (70×100, nothing else nearby) or a confident trio at 50×70. Warm minimalism works hardest: see the beige living room wall or open it directly in the Wall Designer. Statement route: the burgundy pair at full size.

Living room, the statement route: two prints at 70×100 and nothing else.

Bedroom: quiet

Above a headboard, art should lower the pulse — muted florals, coastal light, celestial beige. Two or three prints at 50×70, centres about 160 cm from the floor, nothing wider than the bed. The Mediterranean bedroom wall (open in Wall Designer) and the moody burgundy version mark the two temperaments.

Kitchen & dining: appetite

Food, drink and typography prints belong where people eat — they are permission slips for pleasure. The Italian kitchen wall (Wall Designer) is the template; the kitchen collection has the range.

Home office: focus

Black and white abstracts and quiet line work keep video-call backgrounds sharp without stealing attention. The black & white office wall (Wall Designer) is the proof; the home office collection and black & white collection go deeper.

Hallway: rhythm

Hallways are read in motion, so art hangs in sequence — a row of related prints that pulls you along. Fashion dogs do it with a wink: the dog lover’s hallway (Wall Designer). Vertical formats beat horizontal here, and 50×70 beats smaller.

Bathroom: the joke

The smallest room takes the biggest personality — humour lands here like nowhere else. The funny bathroom wall (Wall Designer) in white frames behind glass is the whole recipe.

Nursery & kids: soft, low, theirs

Folk animals and gentle palettes, hung lower than you think — children live closer to the floor. The nursery animal wall (Wall Designer) and the nursery collection cover it.

Every wall linked above opens at real scale in the Wall Designer — swap prints, sizes and frames until the room answers back, then order the whole wall in one click.

Frequently asked questions

At what height should wall art be hung?

Hang art so the centre of the composition sits at eye level — roughly 145–160 cm from the floor. Above furniture, keep 20–25 cm between the furniture edge and the bottom of the frame; in a nursery, hang lower so the art belongs to the child, not the adults.

Which rooms suit which kind of art?

Living rooms take statements and confident trios; bedrooms take calm florals, coastal and celestial prints; kitchens take food and typography; offices take black and white abstracts; hallways take sequences of related vertical prints; bathrooms take humour behind glass; nurseries take soft folk animals hung low.

What sizes do these prints come in?

Every design comes in 12 sizes, from A4 up to 70×100 cm, in both centimetre and inch formats — and all designs share the same size system, so any combination hangs together as a coherent set.
