How to Choose the Right Art Print for Your Space (Even If You're Not an Expert)
You don’t need a degree in interior design to choose great art.
You just need to know how you want to feel when you walk into the room.
At Huedra, we believe buying art should feel effortless—like finding something you didn’t even know you were looking for. So here’s your no-fluff, no-pressure guide to choosing the right print for your home, your vibe, and your wall.
1. Start With Emotion, Not Aesthetic
Before you worry about matching furniture or fitting a style—ask yourself: " What do I want to feel when I walk into this space? "
Calm? Go for soft gradients, muted tones, minimal forms
Inspired? Try bold contrast, dynamic shapes, movement
Grounded? Look for earthy palettes, warm minimalism, organic geometry
Ethereal? Choose light tones, blurred edges, dreamlike abstraction
Art isn’t about decoration. It’s about atmosphere. And feeling leads the way.
2. Let the Room Decide the Size
There’s no one-size-fits-all when it comes to art. Here’s a cheat sheet:
Above a Sofa or Bed → Go big. Choose horizontal pieces that span 60–80% of the furniture width
Tiny Corners or Hallways → Smaller vertical pieces can pull the eye in and make tight spaces feel thoughtful
Gallery Walls → Mix small-to-medium pieces with consistent framing for cohesion
✨ Pro tip: When in doubt, go larger than you think. Small art can feel lost in open, airy rooms.
3. Match the Art’s Energy, Not Just Its Colors
A lot of people get stuck on “Does it match my sofa?”
But the real question is:
" Does this piece belong in the story of this room? "
If your space is calm, meditative, and full of natural light—don’t throw a neon riot on the wall.
If it’s dark, moody, and dramatic—don’t be afraid of contrast and shadow.
Color harmony > color matching. Trust your gut.
4. Framed vs Unframed: What’s the Vibe?
Framed prints feel complete, polished, gallery-ready
Unframed prints feel raw, modern, and flexible (and are easier to hang with clips, washi tape, etc.)
At Huedra, all prints are available unframed so you can make them your own—but they’re designed to deserve a frame.
5. Still Not Sure? Pick the One That Won’t Leave Your Head
Art works best when it haunts you a little.
When you scroll past a piece and keep thinking about it days later… that’s the one.
Not because it “fits” the room. But because it belongs with you.
