For a new home
Housewarming gifts, art for empty walls
Someone has just moved in and has more wall than they know what to do with. An art print is the rare gift that is used every single day and never runs out.
Go bigger than feels safe
The commonest mistake is a small work on a large wall. Above a sofa or a bed, aim for something around two thirds of the furniture's width.
Play it safe on subject, not on size
A landscape, an abstract or a bird will sit in almost any room. A very personal subject is a gamble in a home you have not seen finished.
Framed saves them a chore
New flat, no frames, no time. Sending it ready to hang is half the gift.
Works that suit a new home
Architecture, landscapes, abstracts and birds. The ones that work on a wall you have never seen.
Not sure of their taste?
A gift card arrives instantly, never expires, and lets them choose the work themselves. For a home you have not visited yet, it is often the better gift.
