How to pick the perfect art for your home

Firstly, there’s plenty to suit everyone’s taste. What ever your style, there is a piece of art with your name on it. Browsing our most popular prints and custom prints sections is a great place to start. 

Or, if you have a certain artist in mind, you can search using our A to Z of artists and also explore our themes and inspiration sections.

Whether you’ve gone for eggshell white or scintillating pink on your walls, choosing a print that matches your new look couldn’t be easier. The prints section of our website allows you to choose the colour, movement & style and artwork type.

To search artworks by colour you can navigate to the prints menu from where there are drop down menus for a full range of colours as well as movements and styles and types. 

So, if you are looking for the blue tones of Goodbye Johnny (30th July 2000) by Wilhelmina Barns-Graham (pictured below) or something more mellow yellow like The Sun Setting Through Vapour by J. M. W Turner you’ll quickly find your perfect match

Choosing the right art to suit a particular space in your home is a given. That’s why our prints come in a range of sizes from small to XX large – we even do postcard size too. As part of the process always think where you want to hang the painting and where the midpoint will be.  

There are also a number of frame options in a range of woodsand stains and mount styles (traditional, classic, gallery and none) too to help you optimise the finished look.

All the options are available in easy-to-use drop-down menus (pictured above) which appear next to your chosen print. You can also apply the various options so you can view how they look on screen.

There is no definitive rule of thumb, so don’t be afraid to experiment with the frame and mount combinations to find the right match to let the artwork really stand out.

From the vibrancy of a dining room full of guests, to the calming nature of a bedroom, all rooms of the house are very different. So, it makes absolute sense that the artwork chosen for individual rooms reflects the mood.

Take a moment to think ‘what am I trying to achieve in this particular room’ as you look to make your choice. So a lively abstract might be good for the dining room – like Untitled, 05/99 by Wilhelmina Barns-Graham; something food-related for the kitchen like Still Life by Arthur Segal (pictured below); and perhaps a nautical or coastal theme in the bathroom such as The Gulls and the Boats at Ardglass by Georgina Moutray Kyle.

Use the search option on the site to explore themes such as the sea or individual rooms like the kitchen.

Of course, it doesn’t end with the paintings. Our homeware section includes a host of home décor ideas from art-inspired cushions and decorative accessories to vases, pottery and kitchen & dining ware. 

So you could accessorise that sofa with a L. S. Lowry Man Lying on a Wall cushion cover or adorn the kitchen table with a set of William Morris Jasmine placemats. There’s plenty of combinations to try – so have fun experimenting.

Finally, what better way to research or discover a new look than with an informative book. The Art UK Shop has a wonderful range of books for sale covering artists, art movements, styles and exhibitions. 

They also make great additions to a new-look room, either on a bookshelf or on top of a coffee table. And they can be a great conversation starter when you invite friends and family around to show off all your hard interior design work.
