How to Style and Display Your Art Prints

Wall art has the power to transform any room — but knowing how to style and display your prints can feel overwhelming. Whether you're decorating a cozy home office or a bold living room, these tips will help you showcase your art prints in a way that feels intentional, beautiful, and uniquely you.

1. Choose the Right Wall

Start by identifying your focal wall — the first wall you see when you enter a room. This is prime real estate for a statement print. Large, colorful pieces like those from Cannon Ball Studio work beautifully as a single anchor piece on a focal wall, drawing the eye and setting the tone for the entire space.

2. Consider Scale and Proportion

A common mistake is hanging art that's too small for the wall. As a general rule, your art should fill about two-thirds to three-quarters of the wall space above a piece of furniture. If you love a smaller print, consider grouping it with others to create a gallery wall effect.

3. Create a Gallery Wall

Gallery walls are a stunning way to display multiple prints together. Mix sizes, orientations, and even frame styles for an eclectic, curated look. Lay your arrangement out on the floor first before committing to the wall. A cohesive color palette — like the bold, vibrant hues in our collection — ties everything together beautifully.

4. Frame It Right

The right frame elevates your print from art to heirloom. For colorful, expressive prints, consider simple black or white frames to let the art speak for itself. Natural wood frames add warmth and work especially well in bohemian or earthy interiors. Our prints are also available as wood prints — a frameless, modern option that looks stunning on its own.

5. Mind the Lighting

Good lighting makes your art come alive. Natural light is ideal, but avoid direct sunlight which can fade prints over time. Picture lights or adjustable track lighting directed at your art adds a gallery-worthy glow and makes colors pop — especially important for the rich, saturated tones in our collection.

6. Hang at Eye Level

The golden rule of art hanging: center your piece at eye level, approximately 57–60 inches from the floor to the center of the artwork. This is the standard used in most galleries and feels the most natural to the eye.

7. Let the Art Tell a Story

Each Cannon Ball Studio print is born from an original painting with its own emotion and story. When styling your space, think about the feeling you want to evoke — joy, calm, energy, nostalgia. Let that guide which print you choose and where you place it.
