How to Decorate Your Home with Art
Framed Prints
If you haven’t heard, we’re kind of obsessed with oversized prints around here… The bigger the better! Large scale art is the perfect way to fill a blank wall, and bring some life and personality to a room. As a general rule of thumb, aim for your art to be about ⅔ the width of the furniture it is hanging above for visual balance.
Oversized art may not be for every spacet, you can also choose a gallery wall, or pick a Duo or Trio of prints. Whichever option you choose, you can’t go wrong!

Frame TV
We love how a Frame TV is both functional and beautiful, and it makes everyone in the family happy! You can still enjoy having a large TV on the wall, that doubles asbeautiful artwork when the TV is off. Shop our Frame TV bundles here. Whether you’re short on space or just like the look of a sleek TV on the wall, these are a great option! Allow the Frame TV to stand alone or build your own gallery wall around it, like the photo above!
Screensavers
The idea of using our digital downloads as a computer screensaver totally blew our minds! We loved this fun room makeover from @delinateyourdwelling. It’s like a mini Frame TV!
Shelves
Open shelving is a great option for the bathroom, living room, office, or bedroom. Add picture frames in varying sizes and different colors. You can also use an art ledge behind a couch or over a console where there’s not a lot of space, but you still want the design to look intentional.
Did you know that it’s important to use the color black in your home design? Black helps to bring in contrast and provide visual balance. We love using black picture frames or mats along with darker prints.
Easels
Small easels are a great way to elevate a print. They’re so easy to change out seasonally or move prints around from room to room. Use an easel on your entryway table, kitchen counter, dining room buffet, or nightstand.
Pro-tip: Don’t forget the lighting! It’s so important to make sure your artwork has adequate lighting. In most rooms, this means 7-10 different light sources!
