Art that feels
at home
A picture starts with a personal connection. Size, colour and framing help it find its place in your home — turning a simple wall into a space with character.

How to choose art for your home
Before choosing a picture for your living room, bedroom or workspace, look at the room and think about the atmosphere you would like to create.
Choose a personal connection
A landscape, Jewish art, decorative verse or abstract work: start with a subject you want to see every day. A gentle composition can suit a restful room; a central space can welcome a stronger colour statement.
Try the size on your wall
Measure the hanging area and the furniture beneath it. Use paper to mark the picture's outline, then step back. Allow space for the frame and breathing room around it, so the artwork feels neither crowded nor lost.
Connect the colours
Choose one or two colours from your furniture, rug or textiles and look for an echo in the artwork. Every shade does not have to match: art can blend into a room or bring a welcome point of contrast.
How to choose a picture frame
A frame connects the artwork to the wall. Choose it alongside the picture and consider the wall colour and nearby furniture.
A slim frame can let the artwork take the lead; a more prominent frame can become part of the composition. Make the choice in the context of the art and the room, rather than judging the frame on its own.
Three questions to ask
- Which colours in the artwork would you like to bring out?
- Should the frame blend into the wall or stand out?
- Do its width and finish work with the other materials in the room?
If you choose a mount or mat, consider its colour and width as part of the overall design.
Canvas printing: check the edges too
When canvas is stretched over a wooden frame, part of the print may wrap around the sides. Check the crop before printing so that faces, signatures and important words remain on the front.
Depending on the finishing options for the work, you can explore a continuation of the image or a matching colour on the edges. This matters especially when displaying canvas without an outer frame. Have the file checked before approving the final size and crop.
Plan a family gallery wall
Combining photographs and art can make a wall feel personal and meaningful. Plan the whole arrangement before you start hanging.
- Collect and selectChoose pictures connected by a subject, a time, a colour or a shared memory. You do not need to use every photograph.
- Try an arrangementLay the pictures on a surface or arrange paper templates on the wall. Check spacing and alignment before drilling.
- Connect the framesYou can mix sizes while keeping a shared frame colour, or use a consistent printing style to unite the group.
- Look at the whole roomStep back and consider the arrangement alongside the furniture and lighting before deciding on the final finish and position.
A few questions before you begin
One large picture or several small ones?
A single picture creates a clear focal point; several pictures can tell a personal story. Try both arrangements with paper templates and see which suits the wall and the furniture below.
Do all the frames in a room need to match?
Not necessarily. Different frames can share a colour, material or similar width. Consider them as a group together with the artwork.
What should I prepare before asking for advice?
A photo of the wall, measurements, furniture colours and examples of art you like help focus the choice. For a personal photograph, have the original file ready to be checked.
