How to choose artwork
Sub-type and readiness
Posters, Prints & Visual Artwork suit renters wanting light decor, but paper needs frames while canvas hangs as is.
Space and scale
Decorative Tapestries work in large bedrooms or lounges, though they overwhelm small landings.
Material and effort
Decor in wood or gold fits statement makers, yet these need more upkeep than a print.
Colour match
Pick a colour like blue or grey for calm, or red and orange for punch, but check your existing scheme first.
Placement and next step
Home & Garden pieces bridge inside and out, but avoid paper or cotton if exposed to rain. The grid below shows the current asking totals for each sub-type.
What's good
- Posters, Prints & Visual Artwork on archival paper resist fading, so they hold their look for years.
- Canvas pieces give a framed-free display with a tactile surface.
- Decorative Tapestries in cotton soften a room and cut echo.
- Decor items in oak or wood bring sculptural depth that flat prints lack.
- Home & Garden sub-types let you extend a theme to shelves and outdoor corners.
Things to watch
- Paper or paper/cardboard prints must be framed, adding a separate task.
- Cotton tapestries gather dust and need careful cleaning.
- Wood or oak decor is heavier and can crack near heat sources.
- Acrylic artwork shows scratches more easily than canvas or wood.
- Gold or ink details may fade in bright sunlight, limiting placement.
Care & maintenance
Textile care
Vacuum cotton tapestries on low suction to lift surface dust.
Solid material care
Keep oak and wood pieces away from radiators to prevent drying.
Paper care
Frame paper or archival paper prints under glass to stop curling.
Acrylic care
Wipe acrylic with a soft dry cloth, avoiding spray cleaners.
