Style, Color & Layout: Tips for Decorating with Wall Art this Spring
Wall art is more than just decoration—it’s the finishing touch that transforms a house into a home. Whether you’re refreshing your living room or curating a cozy entryway, the right artwork brings color, personality, and warmth to your space. Using the featured canvas prints from our collection, here are some tips to help you elevate your home décor with style, color, and layout in mind.
Perfect for: Transition spaces and entry ways
1. Set the Mood with Your Art
The mood of a room often starts with your art. Whether you want something inviting, rustic, or lively, the right piece can instantly shape how the space feels.
This canvas print combines soft florals and a welcoming message, setting the tone for warmth and hospitality. It’s ideal for transitional spaces where you want guests to feel instantly at home.
Tip: Let your main wall piece act like a greeting—it sets the emotional tone for the space.
2. Use Color to Build Your Decor Story
Artwork can guide your entire color palette. Pull tones from your canvas into other design elements like pillows, rugs, and throws.
With its coral, blue, orange, and leafy greens, this piece invites cheerful energy into a room. Coordinate nearby accents with those colors for an effortless sense of unity.
Tip: Choose cool-toned art for a calm effect, and warm tones for an energizing, welcoming space.
Perfect for: Living rooms, kitchens, sunrooms
Perfect for: Dining rooms, family areas, seasonal vignettes
3. Mix Shapes and Sizes for Balance
Gallery walls don’t have to be symmetrical. In fact, mixing horizontal and vertical prints creates a more interesting and dynamic composition.
This layout shows how to balance tall signs with horizontal florals and decorative accents. The visual rhythm helps guide the eye across the display, making the whole wall feel thoughtfully styled.
Tip: Leave 2–3 inches between frames and plan your layout on the floor before hanging.
4. Tailor the Art to the Room’s Function
Think about how the room is used and choose artwork to support that feeling. Bedrooms call for softness, kitchens benefit from cheerfulness, and entryways often need warmth.
This panoramic floral print brings serenity and motion to narrow walls. Its subtle colors add elegance without overwhelming the area, making it a great fit for high-traffic areas or restful zones.
Tip: Use horizontal prints in long spaces and vertical prints in taller, narrower walls.
Perfect for: Hallways, mudrooms, or calm spaces
Perfect for: Side tables, mantels, or shelves
5. Complement Your Furniture, Don’t Compete
Wall art should enhance—not overpower—the furniture below it. A bold canvas works best over a simple surface, while detailed furniture pairs better with softer or neutral prints.
This piece brings just enough detail and contrast to a minimalist setting. Paired with natural wood tones or creamy textiles, it completes the look without clutter.
Tip: Aim for art that is about 2/3 the width of the furniture beneath it for the best visual balance.
Final Touches: Bringing It All Together
Don’t forget to add dimension with real-life touches—potted plants, candles, textured vases, or even seasonal décor. These details create a curated, finished look that feels personal and inviting.
And remember: You don’t have to fill every wall. Thoughtfully placed art makes more impact than a cluttered display.
