Art Print Ideas & Interiors Blog – Stanley Street Studio / giclée art prints

One of the questions we hear most often is a simple one: what size art print should I actually buy? It is easy to fall in love with an image and forget that scale can make or break how it looks on your wall. Choosing the right dimensions is just as important as choosing the right subject, colour or frame. This guide walks through every size we offer, from the compact A5 to the room-defining A1, so you can buy with confidence.

Why Art Print Size Matters

A print that looks striking on a screen can feel lost on a large stairwell wall, while an oversized piece can overwhelm a small reading nook. Size affects the mood a room creates: small prints feel intimate and collectible, while the large-scale wall art UK shoppers choose for living rooms and hallways creates drama and a clear focal point. Getting the proportions right is what makes a space feel considered rather than accidental.

Understanding the Sizes: A5 to A1

A5 and A4 — Small and Personal

A5 (14.8 x 21cm) and A4 (21 x 29.7cm) prints are ideal for shelves, desks and tightly grouped gallery walls. They work beautifully layered with books, plants or photo frames, and they are a lovely way to try a new artist or style without committing to a large space.

A3 — The Versatile Middle Ground

A3 (29.7 x 42cm) is our most popular size for good reason. It is large enough to stand alone above a console table, desk or bedside wall, yet compact enough to sit comfortably in smaller rooms. If you are choosing your very first art print, A3 is almost always a safe and satisfying choice.

A2 — Making a Statement

A2 (42 x 59.4cm) starts to command real attention. It suits sofa walls, dining rooms and landings where you want a print to be the star of the space without needing a second piece alongside it.

A1 — Bold Focal Points

A1 (59.4 x 84.1cm) is our largest size and is best reserved for generous wall space — think stairwells, open-plan living areas or a statement piece behind a sofa. An A1 print, properly framed, becomes the anchor that the rest of the room is styled around.

Matching Size to Room and Wall

A simple rule of thumb: a single print should take up roughly two-thirds to three-quarters of the available wall space above furniture, such as a sofa, console or headboard. Measure your wall before you buy rather than after — it saves disappointment and return postage. For narrow hallways, A4 or A3 prints in a vertical run tend to work better than one oversized piece, while wide, empty walls in a living room or dining room are where A2 and A1 prints truly earn their keep.

Sizing for Gallery Walls and Sets of Two

If you prefer a curated, layered look, mixing sizes is often more effective than matching them exactly. A3 and A4 prints combine well in a gallery wall arrangement, while a set of two art prints in matching A3 or A2 sizes creates instant symmetry either side of a bed, sofa or fireplace. Our Gallery Wall Sets collection is designed specifically around this kind of pairing, with prints created to be hung side by side.

A Few Simple Rules of Thumb

When in doubt, these guidelines help: hang art at eye level, roughly 145–150cm from the floor to the centre of the piece. Leave 15–20cm between a print and the furniture beneath it. And when sizing a set of two or a gallery wall, treat the whole arrangement as one shape — the gaps between prints matter just as much as the prints themselves.

Quality Matters as Much as Size

Whatever size you choose, the finish should do it justice. Every print in our range is produced using giclée printing on 250gsm museum-grade paper, giving true colour depth and archival quality whether you are framing an A5 keepsake or an A1 centrepiece. It is this combination of considered sizing and printing quality that gives our art prints UK customers a genuinely gallery-worthy finish at home.

There is something quietly magnetic about the night sky. Long before we had ceilings and streetlights, we had the moon, the stars and the slow turning of the cosmos to mark our days — and that pull hasn't faded. Celestial art prints have become one of the most popular ways to bring a sense of wonder, calm and depth into a home, and it's easy to see why. A well-chosen moon or star print does more than fill a blank wall; it adds atmosphere, softness and a touch of the infinite to any room.

If you're thinking about introducing celestial wall art UK homes will love, here's how to choose the right pieces, where to hang them, and why they work so beautifully in almost any interior style.

Why Celestial Art Prints Work in Any Room

Celestial art prints sit at a lovely intersection of the timeless and the on-trend. Moons, stars, suns and cosmic motifs have been part of art and mythology for thousands of years, which gives them a classic quality that never feels dated. At the same time, the current appetite for moody, atmospheric interiors — deep blues, warm golds, soft charcoals — makes celestial prints feel completely current.

They also work as a bridge between styles. A celestial print can sit happily in a minimalist room, a boho-inspired space, a mid-century interior or a more traditional setting, because the subject matter itself — the moon, the sun, the stars — is universal rather than tied to one particular decorating trend.

Bringing Calm into Bedrooms and Living Spaces

Bedrooms are the natural home for celestial art. A moonlit landscape or a softly rendered night sky print brings an immediate sense of stillness to the room, making it feel like a proper retreat rather than just a place to sleep. Pair a single large moon print above the headboard for a serene focal point, or hang it slightly off-centre for a more relaxed, gallery-inspired feel.

In living rooms, celestial prints tend to work best when they're allowed some breathing space. A single striking piece above a sofa or console table, printed in a larger size such as A2 or A1, creates real presence without overwhelming the space. If your living room already has warm lighting and rich textures, a celestial print in deep blues and golds will feel completely at home.

Pairing the Sun and Moon

One of the loveliest ways to style celestial art is as a pair — sun and moon together, representing balance, day and night, or simply two halves of a whole. A matching set either side of a bed, a fireplace or a hallway console creates a sense of symmetry that's both elegant and a little bit meaningful.

If you love the idea of building out a fuller display, sun and moon prints also work wonderfully within a larger gallery wall set, mixed with botanical or landscape pieces for a layered, curated look.

Choosing Colours and Tones

Celestial prints tend to fall into two broad palettes. The first is moody and atmospheric — deep indigo, charcoal and black skies with a glowing moon or scattering of stars, ideal for creating drama in a bedroom or snug. The second is softer and more mid-century in feel, with warm ochres, muted terracotta and gentle golds evoking a setting sun rather than a midnight sky.

Think about the existing tones in your room before choosing a print. A warm, mid-century sun motif suits a space with wood furniture and earthy accents, while a deep midnight-blue moonscape works beautifully against pale walls or alongside brass and gold accessories.

Sizing Your Celestial Print

All of our art prints UK customers order are available in sizes from A5 up to A1, so you can scale a celestial design to suit the space you have. A small A5 or A4 print suits a shelf, a bedside table or a tightly curated gallery wall, while an A2 or A1 print makes a genuine statement above a bed or sofa. If you're planning a symmetrical sun-and-moon display, keep both prints the same size for the most polished result.

Every print is produced using giclée printing on 250gsm museum-grade paper, giving rich, accurate colour and a quality finish that does justice to the subtlety of a night sky or a soft golden sun.

Where Else to Use Celestial Prints

Beyond the bedroom and living room, celestial art prints suit hallways, home offices and even nurseries, where whimsical moon-and-stars designs bring a gentle, dreamy quality without being overly childish. They also make a thoughtful gift — a moon print for a new home, an anniversary, or simply for someone who loves to stargaze.

If you're ready to bring a little cosmic calm into your own home, browse our full collection of art prints to find the celestial piece that fits your space, or explore our mid-century and Bauhaus wall art for warmer, sun-inspired tones.

Gold leaf, sweeping ornament and jewel-toned colour: few artists have shaped modern maximalist interiors quite like Gustav Klimt. If your home is ready for a little more drama, Klimt-inspired art prints are one of the easiest ways to bring his opulent, richly patterned style into any room without repainting a single wall.

Who Was Gustav Klimt?

Klimt was the leading figure of the Vienna Secession movement, famous for fusing decorative pattern with figurative and botanical subject matter. His "Golden Phase" works, layered with gold leaf and intricate ornamentation, remain some of the most recognisable images in art history. That same richness translates beautifully into wall art UK homes can use to add instant warmth and character.

Why Klimt-Inspired Prints Work in Maximalist Interiors

Maximalism is about layering colour, pattern and texture with confidence, and Klimt's aesthetic was built for exactly that. His garden and botanical compositions combine dense pattern with a warm, earthy palette of golds, greens and deep reds, meaning a single Klimt-style print can anchor an entire scheme. Unlike stark minimalist art, these prints reward being grouped together or set against bold wallpaper and rich furnishings.

Where to Hang Klimt Art Prints

A single large-format Klimt print makes a striking focal point above a sofa or fireplace, while smaller sizes suit hallways, staircases and reading nooks. For true maximalist impact, try clustering two or three Klimt-inspired prints together as part of a gallery wall set, mixing garden scenes with figurative pieces for visual rhythm.

Pairing Klimt Prints with Your Colour Scheme

Klimt's palette of ochre, olive and burgundy sits naturally alongside velvet upholstery, brass fixtures and dark wood furniture. If your room already leans neutral, a single gold-toned Klimt print can introduce warmth without overwhelming the space. For bolder schemes, layer multiple prints against patterned wallpaper for a truly immersive, gallery-like feel.

Choosing the Right Size

Every Klimt-inspired print in our collection is available from A5 up to A1, so you can scale the drama to suit your space — a set of A5s for a gallery wall, or a single A1 statement piece above a bed or console table. Each design is produced using giclée printing on 250gsm museum-grade paper, giving you the depth of colour and fine detail that Klimt's ornamental style demands.

Bring Golden Maximalism Home

Whether you're building a full maximalist scheme or simply want one show-stopping piece of wall art, Klimt-inspired prints bring instant richness and personality to any room. Browse the full range of art prints to find the design that suits your space best.

Decorating a nursery is one of the most rewarding parts of preparing for a new arrival, and wall art plays a bigger role than you might think. The right nursery art prints set the tone for the whole room, turning a plain wall into a soft, storybook backdrop your little one will grow up looking at. Here's how to choose art prints that feel timeless rather than trend-led.

Why Wall Art Matters in a Nursery

Newborns spend a huge amount of time simply looking around them, and gentle, high-contrast imagery is thought to support early visual development. Beyond that, nursery art prints are one of the easiest ways to inject personality into a room that otherwise relies on neutral furniture and soft textiles. A well-chosen print can tie together a colour scheme, introduce a theme, or simply add warmth to a small space.

Choosing a Theme: Animals, Alphabets and Botanicals

Woodland and safari animals remain the most popular nursery theme for good reason — they're gender-neutral, timeless, and easy to build a gallery wall around. Alphabet and number prints are equally popular, doubling up as early learning tools as your child grows.

Building a Gentle Colour Palette

Soft, muted tones — sage green, blush pink, warm mustard and dusty blue — tend to work best in a nursery, creating a calm environment for sleep and play. Choose two or three prints that share a consistent palette so the room feels cohesive rather than cluttered, and consider a gallery wall set of matching pairs for an easy, coordinated look.

Where to Hang Nursery Prints

A cluster of three or four smaller prints above the cot creates a soft focal point without overwhelming the space, while a single larger print works beautifully above a changing table or nursing chair. Keep frames light and simple so the artwork itself remains the focus.

Sizing and Quality

Our full range of nursery art prints is available from A5 up to A1, so you can mix smaller sizes into a gallery wall or choose a single statement piece for a larger wall. Every design is produced using giclée printing on 250gsm museum-grade paper, giving soft, true-to-life colour that will stay looking beautiful throughout your child's early years.

Creating a Room They'll Love Growing Up In

Nursery art prints don't need to be babyish to work — the best designs age gracefully alongside your child, moving from cot-side companions to cherished bedroom decor. Explore the full nursery collection to find prints that suit your colour scheme and style.
