How to Style Your Wall with Print Club Art Prints

Why a well-styled wall transforms your interior

A blank wall isn't neutral—it's a missed opportunity. Walls are the biggest canvas in your home, and how you decorate them determines the entire atmosphere of your space. Art prints are the perfect way to add character, color, and personality without major renovations.

Whether you want to create a complete gallery wall or are looking for a single statement piece, this guide will help you style your wall in a way that suits you.

Step 1: Determine your style and atmosphere

Before you buy art prints, first determine the atmosphere you want to create. This will help you make informed choices instead of randomly collecting prints.

Popular interior styles with art prints

Minimalist
Few prints, lots of white space. Consider one to three large art prints in neutral colors or black and white. Clean frames, symmetrical hanging. Calmness and focus are key.

Scandinavian
Light colors, natural materials, and a cozy atmosphere. Art prints featuring nature, abstract shapes in soft hues. Wooden frames or unframed for a casual look.

Modern/Contemporary
Clean lines, bold colors, graphic prints. Mix of sizes, asymmetrical composition. Black or white frames for a clean look.

Eclectic/Bohemian
A mix of styles, colors, and sizes. No rules, pure personality. Different frames, organic composition. Full and vibrant.

Industrial
Raw materials, dark hues, urban vibe. Black-and-white photography, abstract prints. Metal or black wooden frames.

Step 2: Choose your composition type

How you arrange your art prints is just as important as which prints you choose. Here are the most effective composition types:

The Gallery Wall (multiple prints)

A gallery wall is a collection of multiple art prints that together form a composition. Perfect for large walls and when you want to display many prints.

Symmetrical gallery wall
A grid layout with equal spacing and sizes. Calming and orderly. Ideal for modern and minimalist interiors.

• Use 4, 6 or 9 prints in the same size
• Keep 5-8 cm distance between prints
• Hang in a perfect grid pattern
• Works best with uniform frames

Asymmetrical gallery wall
An organic composition with varying sizes. Dynamic and personal. Our favorite style at KOJO Art.

• Mix large and small prints
• Start with one large statement piece as an anchor
• Build around it with smaller prints
• Balance visual weight (large left = multiple small right)
• Plan on the ground before you drill!

Salon style
Closely spaced prints with minimal spacing (2-3 cm). Classic and impactful, like those found in old art galleries.

• Fill the entire wall from floor to ceiling
• Mix sizes and styles
• Keep one unifying element (color or theme)
• Requires many prints – perfect for collectors

The Statement Wall (1-3 prints)

Less is more. One large print or a small group of prints that steals the show.

Single statement piece
A single large art print (minimum 50x70 cm) that captures the eye. Powerful yet simple.

• Hang at eye level (centre at 145-150 cm)
• Center above furniture (sofa, bed, dresser)
• Leave enough white space around it
• Choose a print that really makes an impact

Diptych or Triptych
Two or three prints that together form a composition. Elegant and balanced.

• Use prints that match each other in style or color
• Hang with 5-10 cm space between
• Keep the tops at the same height
• Perfect above a sofa or bed

The Lean Wall (casual and flexible)

Prints lean against the wall on a shelf or dresser. No drilling required, easy to change.

• Use a shelf or piece of furniture as a base
• Layer prints: large back, small front
• Mix with other objects (vases, books, plants)
• Perfect for rental properties or if you want to change often

Step 3: Color and harmony

Color is what ties your composition together. Here are some strategies for color harmony:

Monochrome (one color)

All prints in the same color family. For example: only black and white, only shades of blue, or only warm earth tones. Calming and sophisticated.

When to use: Minimalist interiors, small spaces, or if you want your wall to radiate tranquility.

Analog (neighboring colors)

Colors that are next to each other on the color wheel. For example: blue, green, and turquoise. Or orange, red, and pink. Harmonious and natural.

When to use: When you want color without harsh contrasts. Works in almost any interior.

Complementary (opposite colors)

Colors that are opposite each other on the color wheel. For example: blue and orange, or purple and yellow. Dynamic and energetic.

When to use it: When you want to make a statement. Works best in modern and eclectic interiors.

Neutral with accent

Primarily neutral prints (black and white, beige, gray) with one or two color accents. Balanced and versatile.

When to use: When you want to play it safe but not boring. Perfect for beginners.

Step 4: Choose lists (or not)

Frames can make or break your composition. Here are your options:

Uniform lists

All prints in the same frame (color, material, style). This creates a sense of calm and cohesion, even if your prints are very different.

Popular choices:

• Black wooden frames – timeless, works with everything
• White frames – light and airy, Scandinavian
• Natural wood – warm and organic
• Metal frames – modern and industrial

Mix of lists

Different frames but with one unifying element (for example: all wood, or all gold). Eclectic and personal.

Rule: If you mix frames, keep your prints consistent in style. Or, conversely, use uniform frames with a variety of prints.

Unframed (without frame)

Prints directly on the wall or mounted on dibond/foam board. Casual, artistic, and modern.

Pros: Cheaper, easier to exchange, casual vibe
Disadvantages: Less protection, can wrinkle at the corners

Tip: Our art prints are printed on sturdy paper and work perfectly unframed if you want that look.

Step 5: Hang at the correct height

The most common mistake? Hanging it too high. Here are the rules:

Eye level rule

The center of your print (or gallery wall) should hang at eye level: 145-150 cm from the floor . Not the top, but the middle.

Why? This is the natural viewing height. Too high and you have to look up (uncomfortable), too low and it feels constricted.

Above furniture

If your print hangs above a sofa, bed or dresser:

• 15-20 cm above the furniture – this creates a visual connection
• 2/3 of the furniture width – your print(s) should cover approximately 2/3 of the width of the furniture

In corridors and stairwells

Follow the line of the stairs or hallway. In a hallway: hang prints slightly lower (center at 140 cm) because you often walk past them instead of standing in front of them.

Step 6: Practical hanging tips

Plan first, drill later
Arrange your prints on the floor in different compositions, or use paper templates on the wall with masking tape. Experiment until you're satisfied. Take a photo for reference.

Measure and mark
Use a spirit level (or a leveling app) and a pencil. Mark where your nails will go before drilling. Double-checking will save you frustration.

Correct confirmation

• Light prints (under 2 kg): regular nails or Command strips
• Heavy prints (over 2 kg): plugs and screws
• Rental property: Command picture hanging strips (no holes)

Start in the middle
For a gallery wall: hang the central print(s) first and work outward. This prevents your composition from becoming skewed.

Inspiration per room

Living room

Above the sofa: Gallery wall or large statement piece. This is the main focal point of the room.
Style: Can be bold and colorful, this is your social space.
Tip: Choose prints that are conversation starters – art that guests will ask to see.

Bedroom

Above the bed: Soothing prints in soft colors. Think nature, abstract shapes, or minimalist compositions.
Style: Calm and personal, this is your sanctuary.
Tip: Avoid busy or bright prints – you want to relax here.

Home office

Above your desk: Inspiring prints that stimulate focus and creativity.
Style: Motivating but not distracting. Think landscapes, abstract art, or typography.
Tip: Hang prints at eye level when you are sitting, not standing.

Gang

Long wall: Perfect for a horizontal gallery wall or a series of prints in a row.
Style: Tell a story – a sequence that takes you down the hall.
Tip: Hallways are often narrow, use smaller prints (A4-A3) to avoid overwhelming the space.

Kitchen/Dining room

Above the dining table: Cozy, warm prints. Think food art, still life, or abstract compositions in warm hues.
Style: Social and inviting.
Tip: Avoid prints that are too delicate – kitchens are humid areas.

Common Styling Mistakes (and How to Avoid Them)

Mistake 1: Hanging too high

Problem: Prints hang too high, you have to look up.
Solution: Center point at 145-150 cm, not the top.

Mistake 2: Prints too small for a large wall

Problem: Small prints disappear on a large wall.
Solution: Use larger prints (at least 50x70 cm) or create a gallery wall with multiple prints.

Error 3: No coherence

Problem: Prints have nothing to do with each other, it looks messy.
Solution: Choose one unifying element: color, style, frames, or theme.

Error 4: Not enough contrast with the wall

Problem: White prints on white wall disappear.
Solution: Choose prints with contrast, or use colored frames/passe-partouts.

Mistake 5: Trying to finish everything at once

Problem: You buy too many prints at once and don't know where to start.
Solution: Start with 1-3 prints and let it grow. A gallery wall can evolve.

Seasonal styling tips

Your wall doesn't have to be static. Change prints seasonally for a fresh look:

Spring/Summer: Light colors, botanical prints, fresh hues. Think green, blue, and white.
Fall/Winter: Warm hues, abstract compositions, dark accents. Think terracotta, mustard, and deep blue.

With Print Club, it's easy to switch things up – save seasonal prints and rotate them throughout the year.

Budget-friendly styling tips

Wall styling doesn't have to be expensive:

• Start small – start with 1-2 prints and build up
• Print Club – spread the costs over months instead of paying everything at once
• Mix expensive and affordable – combine investment pieces with affordable prints
• DIY frames – buy simple frames at IKEA or Action
• Unframed – save on frames by hanging prints directly
• Change regularly – a few good prints that you rotate feel like a big collection

Frequently asked questions about wall styling

How many art prints do I need for a gallery wall?
There's no set number. You can start with 3-5 prints and expand. A typical gallery wall has 7-15 prints, but this depends on your wall size and style.

Should all prints have the same frame?
Not necessarily, but it helps create cohesion. If you use different frames, choose a single unifying element, such as color (all black) or material (all wood).

Can I use art prints in a small space?
Absolutely! In small spaces: use 1-3 larger prints instead of many small ones (which makes the room feel more crowded). Choose light colors to make the room appear larger.

How do I prevent my gallery wall from looking cluttered?
Choose one unifying element (color, style, or theme), keep consistent distances between prints (5-8 cm), and plan your layout before hanging.

Can I change prints after hanging?
Yes! That's the beauty of art prints. Change them seasonally, as your tastes change, or just for variety. Keep your fasteners in the same place for easy changes.

What if I live in a rental property?
Use Command picture hanging strips that don't leave holes, or lean your prints on shelves or furniture. Both options are fully reversible.

How do I choose the right print for my interior?
Start with your existing color palette. Choose prints that share at least one color with your interior, or opt for a contrasting accent color. Most importantly: choose what resonates with you, not what "belongs."
