From hyper-personalized portraits to pieces paying homage to your hobbies and hometown, these wall art prints will help you express yourself at home.
Looking to refresh your wall decor game? We've got one bit of advice: Don't be afraid to get personal. Sure, everyone can appreciate an eye-catching wall art print (or three) adorning the walls of your abode—but what really makes a gallery wall stand out is how, together, the pieces you pick announce and celebrate the things that matter most to you. Whether it’s the intentional imagery that’s depicted, the story of the artisan who created it, or a visual representation of the values and ideals you hold dear, the wall art prints you add to your space are an opportunity to curate a collection that perfectly expresses every one-of-a-kind dimension of who you are.
From abstract wall art prints that add a pop of your favorite color to a cozy space like a bathroom or den, to personalized illustrations of friends and family that give your living room walls an extra dose of meaning, the pieces you choose can serve as a visual cheat-sheet to the things closest to your heart. And speaking of things you love, adding a few wall art prints to your collection that represent your hometown, favorite hobbies, or even nostalgic memories (who could forget that famous fall fishing trip?) is another great way to make your space truly representative of what makes you, you. As you shop for the newest print to add to your collection, take a look at these ideas for making your growing gallery a reflection of your tastes, your values, and how you see the world.
