Framed wall art prints are a quick and affordable way to transform bland walls, fill empty shelves, or brighten up awkward alcoves or corners. Whether you are a lover of colour who mixes an eclectic array of styles and genres or a minimalist at heart, and prefer to display neutral line art, there is really no wrong way to transform your home with art. There are, however, some expert tips and tricks to help you curate an art collection you can be proud of.

STYLING WITH WALL ART PRINTS

There are many different ways to style wall art prints. Choosing prints that share the same colour palette woven through the design will ensure a cohesive look despite your mix of styles. Pick a theme - e.g. stick to the same colour throughout for a uniformed look, opt for black and white for a minimalist feel or mix in family photos from treasured holidays with seascapes or architectural prints from your favourite destination to create a memory wall.

CONSIDER THE FUNCTION OF YOUR ROOM

It's important to consider the function of your room before committing to your artwork – a relaxing space like a bedroom might not be the best place for bright, clashing colours and busy walls. Try soft watercolour prints, Scandi designs and botanical prints to promote relaxation. For an entertaining space try  typography or contemporary and geometric styles to bring vibrancy  and provide a talking point
