PRINTS WITH PERSONALITY
Choosing art can feel overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be. The best prints aren’t just stylish, they’re personal. Whether you’re updating a room, gifting something meaningful, or starting from scratch, here are a few easy, thoughtful tips to help you find pieces that truly feel like you.
Pair Prints for Impact
When hanging two or more prints together, try to pair ones that have something similar, like the same colours, art style, or subject. For example, two prints with soft pastel tones work well as a calming pair, or a quote print and an illustration can look great together if they share a colour or mood. You don’t need them to be exactly the same, but a small connection helps them look like they belong together!
Let Colour Lead the Way
Choose colours that reflect your mood or bring energy to a space. Love calm? Go for soft tones. Want impact? Try contrast. Look at the main colours in your room and decide if you want your print to match or stand out. Matching colours create a calm, coordinated look, while bold, contrasting colours can add energy and make a statement.

Style Each Room with Intention
Choose prints that match the feeling of each space. Go for calm and soft in the bedroom, bold and personal in the living room, and light or playful in the kitchen. Hallways are great for personal touches like travel or family prints. Let the mood of the room guide your choice.
Choose Local, Meaningful Art
Support local artists by choosing prints made in your community or region. Not only does it help small businesses, but it also brings a unique, personal touch to your space. You might even find a piece that shows a familiar place, a local landmark, or something that connects with your story

Tell Your Story Through Art
Don’t choose art just to fill a space, choose pieces that resonate. Whether it’s a print of a city you love, a quote that lifts you up, or abstract art that sparks your imagination, the best walls tell a personal story.
