The Right Art for Every Room in the House

If you're starting from a bare wall and a vague feeling that the room needs something, start here. This is the map of everything: what kind of art suits each room, how big to go, and where to read deeper when a room deserves its own guide.

Living room

The main wall gets the main piece. One large work above the sofa, spanning about two thirds of its width, sets the whole room's tone; go bigger than feels safe. If your scheme is monochrome, our black and white living room guide covers the palette, and for a wall of several pieces, the gallery wall guide has layouts and the exact five-piece spec.

Bedroom

Calm subjects only: water, horizons, quiet moments. One piece over the headboard at two thirds of the bed's width. The full logic, including which photographers suit a restful room, is in black and white art for the bedroom.

Dining room, office, hallway

Dining rooms take gallery walls better than any room in the house; keep the theme tight. Offices want one energetic piece, Monaco Grand Prix 1973 being the house favorite. Hallways want matched pairs in the same frame finish. Sizing rules for all of it live in the sizing guide.

Pick a world, then a piece

The fastest way through the catalog is by mood. Coastal calm: the Coastal collection and its guide. Vintage leisure: Slim Aarons and the wider Vintage collection. Faces and moments: Icons. The West, minus the cliches: Western and its buyer's guide. Salt and motion: surf photography. First piece ever? Start with where to begin.

The part that's the same everywhere

Whatever you choose, it arrives built the same way: printed from the original archive files on archival matte paper, edge to edge on our floating pedestal mount, behind 99.9% UV-blocking acrylic, in solid wood made by hand at our facilities in Oregon and Florida. Preview any piece on your wall in AR first. Ready to hang, hammer only, free US shipping, certificate of authenticity, 10-year guarantee.

One room at a time, one wall at a time. Start with the one you sit in most.
