Choosing art prints for your home doesn’t need to feel complicated. Art isn’t about getting everything “right” — it’s about creating spaces that feel warm, lived-in, and personal. The right prints can turn blank walls into something meaningful, whether your style leans toward cottage-inspired interiors, folk art, or vintage pieces with texture and character.

This guide is here to help you choose art prints for every room in a way that feels natural, intuitive, and easy to live with.

Start with how you want the room to feel

Before thinking about size or placement, start with the feeling you want the room to hold. Calm, cozy, playful, grounded — art plays a big role in setting that tone.

Choosing art prints for the living room

The living room is often where art has the biggest impact. It’s a shared space, and a great place to bring in personality.

For the livingroom I recommend styling your prints in a gallery wall rather than having one large statement piece, as this creates a more cozy and intimate feeling. 

Gallery walls are also a simple way to combine colour, texture, and subject matter without the space feeling too formal or styled.

For your gallery wall go for smaller pieces, a mix of old and new is always a classic strategy. Figurative pieces and nature-inspired prints will always work well together in a curated gallery wall setting. 

Tip: Don't be afraid to add in a couple of prints with some unrealistic elements, or slightly controversial subjects in a humoristic way, they make great conversation starters especially curated in a fun, eclectic gallery wall.

Choosing art prints for the bedroom

Bedrooms benefit from quieter, more personal choices. Art here should support rest rather than demand attention.

Sunrise and sunset prints, portraits with soft expressions, botanical folk art, and muted colour palettes work beautifully in bedrooms. Prints with visible texture and painterly details add depth without overwhelming the space.

Smaller sets or paired prints can feel especially calming above a bedside table or chest of drawers.

Tip: choose prints that make you start your day with a smile.

Choosing art prints for the kitchen and dining area

Kitchens and dining spaces are ideal for art that feels warm and everyday. Food motifs, plants, and whimsical details bring charm without feeling precious.

Vintage-inspired prints and simple folk-style illustrations fit naturally into kitchens, especially in homes with a cozy or rustic feel. Smaller prints are easy to style here — on shelves, narrow walls, or alongside ceramics and cookbooks.

Tip: two or three larger prints work well behind your dining table. Choose some entertaining prints, that will get the conversation flowing.

Art prints for small spaces and quiet corners

Even the smallest spaces deserve attention. Reading corners, hallways, and shelves are perfect places for art that invites closer looking.

Small-scale prints, character studies, and nature-inspired artwork add personality without taking over. These are the details that make a home feel thoughtful and complete.

Tip: Style some of your smaller prints in unique coloured frames for to add en extra touch of personality to your home decor.

Choosing Art Prints for the Bathroom

Bathrooms are often overlooked when it comes to art, but they’re one of the easiest spaces to add personality. Because these rooms are usually smaller, art can make a big impact without needing much wall space.

Choose small to medium-sized art prints that feel light, playful, or calming. Nautical-themed prints, simple folk art, and vintage-inspired illustrations work especially well in bathrooms, adding warmth without feeling too heavy. Art with soft colours and gentle texture helps balance hard surfaces like tiles and mirrors.

Bathrooms are also a great place to have a bit of fun — artwork here doesn’t need to be serious. A thoughtful but slightly whimsical print can bring character to the room and make everyday routines feel more considered.

Tip: Always frame prints behind glass and keep them away from direct water exposure to help protect the artwork.

Choosing Art Prints for the Nursery

Art in a nursery should feel soft, comforting, and easy to grow with. Rather than choosing prints that feel too themed or age-specific, look for artwork with gentle colours, simple forms, and a sense of warmth.

Illustrations inspired by nature, quiet figurative prints, and storybook-style art work beautifully in nurseries. Soft palettes and subtle texture help create a calming environment, while playful details add interest without overstimulation.

Smaller prints or pairs are ideal for nurseries, as they’re easy to rearrange as the room changes. Art placed above a changing table, reading nook, or shelf can help anchor the space and make it feel intentional.

Choosing artwork that feels timeless means it can stay with your child as they grow — becoming part of the room’s story rather than something quickly outgrown.

Why curated sets make choosing art easier

If you’re unsure where to start, curated gallery wall sets can remove a lot of guesswork. Thoughtfully paired prints already work together in colour, scale, and mood, making it easier to create a space that feels intentional.

This approach works especially well if you like an eclectic look but want it to feel balanced rather than busy.

I will release a collection of curated art walls later this month. Make sure to stay tuned, and subscribe to my newsletter HERE 

Trust your instinct

There are no strict rules when it comes to choosing art. The pieces you’re drawn to are often the ones that will feel right in your home long-term.

Let your home evolve slowly. Art should feel comforting, familiar, and easy to live with — something that adds warmth every day.

A final thought

The best homes aren’t perfectly styled. They’re built over time, with pieces that feel meaningful. Choosing art prints with care and intention is one of the simplest ways to create a home that feels truly yours.
