Prints – tips on choosing art for your home

A bit stuck when it comes to choosing art prints for your home? While it can be very challenging choosing which ones to buy, and then where they’ll be hung, it’s also something rather fun to do. As home décor connoisseurs, there’s nothing we love more than helping our customers find the perfect art prints and other homeware pieces. We’re sharing a few of our favourite tips on selecting artwork with you today.

5 Tips to Help You Pick Art Prints for Your Home

Prints are a fabulous way to bring some colour and design to all parts of your home. Here are five of our top tips to help you pick the right pieces for each room:

1. Pick with your heart – if you love the colours, the shapes or the topic of the print, then that’s the one for you! It is important that you enjoy looking at your artwork, so make sure you choose ones which you’ve fallen in love with.
2. Consider room colours – while it is nice to choose art prints which have similar colours to the rest of a room’s décor, also consider complimentary or focal point colours within the artwork.
3. Think about sizes – an A4 print is best suited to being seen within a frame on a desk or table, while an A3 print would look best on the wall. Make sure that you know whereabouts your new piece of art is best suited to.
4. Remember words matter – many of the prints here at Pony Lane contain short phrases or words. Select ones which resonate with or motivate you; dual purpose of both looking great and encouraging you!
5. Mix and match – it can be quite striking to group and display several art prints together. For instance, if you group four together in a square, simply changing their position on the wall each week gives you an entirely different feel and appearance.

We feel our collection of prints are some of the best in New Zealand, and we’d love for them to be hanging in your home too. From watercolours to foil prints, illustrations and even limited edition prints, we’re certain you’ll find the perfect ones to display within your home.
