Wall Décor
Wall Décor
This category includes framed prints, canvas art, mirrors, and decorative accents designed to add character to empty spaces. When selecting wall pieces, consider the size of the room, the available natural light, and your existing colour palette to ensure a balanced look. Choosing the right decoration matters because it instantly changes the focal point of a room and brings your interior style together without taking up valuable floor space.
How to choose the right size and placement?
Matching the scale of your wall decor to the surrounding furniture ensures the room feels proportionate. As a general rule, a piece of artwork or a mirror hung above a sofa, bed, or sideboard should cover roughly two-thirds of the furniture's width. This prevents the decoration from looking lost on a large wall or overwhelming a small space.
If you have a particularly large, empty wall, consider creating a gallery arrangement. Grouping smaller framed prints or canvases allows you to mix different themes and colours. When hanging pieces, aim to position the centre of the artwork or mirror at eye level, which naturally draws the attention of anyone entering the room.

Which materials work best for your space?
The material and finish of your wall decor can significantly influence the mood and brightness of the room.
- Canvas art provides a soft, texture-rich surface that naturally absorbs light, making it an excellent choice for adding colour to bright, sunlit living rooms.
- Glass mirrors reflect natural daylight and make small or narrow spaces, such as hallways, appear much larger and more open.
- Wooden frames bring immediate warmth and a classic feel, seamlessly tying into rustic or traditional interiors.
- Metal accents and frames offer a sleek, modern finish that works perfectly in contemporary or industrial-style homes.

What to check before buying?
To narrow down your choice, check the weight of the item and ensure your walls can support it safely. Solid brick walls can handle heavier metal mirrors, while drywall might require specific wall plugs or lighter canvas pieces. Think about the room's function: bathroom mirrors should ideally be designed to handle humidity and resist fogging. Finally, review the colours in your chosen artwork to ensure they pick up at least one or two accent shades already present in your space, creating a cohesive and well-planned interior.
