Buying a beautiful art print is only half the job. How you hang it determines whether it quietly transforms a room or gets lost on the wall. Whether you're working with a single statement piece or building a full gallery wall, a few simple principles make all the difference. Here's how to get your art prints up on the wall the right way.

Start with Eye Level

The golden rule of hanging art prints is to position the centre of the piece at roughly 57–60 inches from the floor — the average eye level for most adults. This applies whether you're hanging a single A3 print or the centrepiece of a larger arrangement. In rooms where art hangs above furniture, such as a sofa or console table, leave around 15–20cm between the top of the furniture and the bottom of the frame so the two feel connected rather than floating apart.

Single Prints vs Gallery Walls

A single, well-proportioned print can be enormously effective, especially in a hallway or above a bed. But if you want more impact, gallery wall sets are one of the easiest ways to create a curated, high-end look without the guesswork — the prints are designed as a pair from the outset, so the colours and composition already work together.

Planning Your Layout Before You Drill a Single Hole

Before reaching for a hammer, lay your prints out on the floor first. This lets you experiment with spacing and arrangement without committing to anything. A good rule of thumb is to leave 5–8cm between each frame in a gallery wall — close enough to read as one composition, but with enough breathing room that each print still stands on its own.

Once you're happy with the layout, trace around each frame on kraft paper, tape the templates to the wall, and mark your hanging points directly through the paper. It's a small step that saves a lot of unnecessary holes in the plaster.

Choosing the Right Print Size for the Space

Scale matters as much as placement. A print that's too small for a wall can look like an afterthought, while an oversized piece can overwhelm a compact room. As a general guide, art should take up roughly two-thirds the width of the furniture beneath it. That's why our art prints UK collection is available in A5, A4, A3, A2 and A1 — so you can choose the exact scale your wall calls for, from a cosy A5 above a desk to a bold A1 as a statement piece.

Hardware, Hanging and Protecting Your Prints

For lightweight frames, picture hooks rated for the frame's weight are usually sufficient — always choose a hook rated slightly above what you think you need. For gallery walls, a level and a tape measure are your best friends; even a few millimetres out becomes obvious once several frames sit side by side. If you're hanging in a room with direct sunlight, position prints away from the window wall where possible, as UV exposure over time can affect even the best inks.

Every print we produce is giclée printed on 250gsm museum-grade paper, giving genuine depth of colour and a finish that holds up to close inspection — worth keeping in mind when choosing a frame with UV-protective glass for a sunnier spot in the home.

Final Styling Tips

Don't feel every frame needs to match. A mix of complementary tones — as with our botanical and floral sets — reads as more considered than a uniform matching set. And if you're not ready to commit to hanging at all, leaning a large print against the wall on a shelf or mantelpiece is a perfectly good option, and one that's easy to change with the seasons.

Pink has shaken off its once-narrow reputation and become one of the most versatile colours in interior design. From the softest blush to punchy fuchsia, pink art prints can bring warmth, romance or bold personality to a room without overwhelming it. If you are searching for art prints UK shoppers can use to add character to their walls, pink is a surprisingly easy colour to work with — and it pairs beautifully with almost every existing colour scheme.

Why Pink Works in Every Room

Unlike some statement colours, pink sits comfortably across a huge tonal range. Dusty and blush pinks read as calm and grown-up, while deeper rose and raspberry tones bring energy and warmth. This flexibility means pink wall art can suit a serene bedroom just as easily as a lively kitchen or a creative home office. Choosing the right shade — and the right piece of art — is what makes the difference between a colour that feels considered and one that feels accidental.

Blush and Dusty Pink for Calm, Considered Spaces

For bedrooms, living rooms and other spaces where you want a restful atmosphere, look for prints in muted, powdery pink tones. Botanical and floral designs work particularly well here, as the softness of the subject matter echoes the gentleness of the colour. A botanical print with a pink palette can anchor a neutral colour scheme without adding visual noise, making it a favourite among customers building a calm, layered interior.

Bold Pink for Statement Walls

If you want pink to do more of the talking, look to bolder, more graphic pieces. Modernist and abstract art prints in vivid pink tones make excellent focal points above a sofa, sideboard or bed. Because the colour itself carries so much energy, a single well-placed print is often enough — there is no need to fill an entire wall to make an impact. This is where a striking abstract or fine art piece with a strong pink presence really earns its place.

Pink Florals for a Romantic, Layered Look

Floral art prints in pink tones remain one of the most popular ways to bring the colour into a home. Vintage-inspired florals, in particular, add a romantic, slightly nostalgic feel that works beautifully in bedrooms, hallways and dressing areas. Grouping two or three pink floral prints together, or combining them with botanical greens, creates a layered gallery-style display with real depth. Browse our Gallery Wall Sets for pre-matched pairs that make this kind of styling effortless.

Pairing Pink with Other Colours

Pink is far more adaptable than many people expect. Paired with sage green, it feels fresh and botanical. Paired with navy or charcoal, it becomes sophisticated and grounded. Paired with warm neutrals like cream, beige or terracotta, it feels soft and organic. When choosing pink art prints, look at your existing furnishings first — the undertone of your pink (whether it leans warm and coral, or cool and dusty) should echo the undertones already present in your soft furnishings, rugs and woodwork.

Choosing Your Print Size

Once you have found a design you love, size makes all the difference to how it reads on the wall. Our pink art prints are available in A5, A4, A3, A2 and A1, so you can choose a small accent piece for a shelf or a large statement print for a stairwell or living room feature wall. Every print is produced using giclée printing on 250gsm museum-grade paper, giving true colour depth and longevity — essential for a colour as nuanced as pink, where subtle tonal shifts really matter.
