Home Office Prints

The best home office art balances stimulation with focus. Abstract prints with strong composition, architectural photography, bold typographic pieces, and graphic art all work well. Avoid very busy or highly detailed prints directly in your line of sight while working — they compete for attention during deep focus. On side walls and behind you, bolder choices work better.

For video calls, a single bold print or a small gallery wall directly behind you reads best on screen. Prints with strong shapes, clean lines, and good contrast translate better on camera than fine detail or muted palettes. A 50x70cm or 70x100cm print is large enough to be visible without taking over the frame. Avoid very dark art in poorly lit rooms — it merges into the background.

Not necessarily — motivational quote prints are popular but not the only option. Art that you genuinely like looking at on a daily basis will do more for productivity than generic inspirational phrases. Choose something that reflects your taste and makes the space feel like yours. Abstract, architectural, and nature prints are all popular alternatives that make a home office feel more like a creative environment.

Behind a desk, 50x70cm or 70x100cm works well as a single focal piece. A gallery wall of two or three 40x50cm prints at equal spacing is the most popular alternative. For smaller study corners, 30x40cm prints are proportionate without overwhelming the space. If video calls matter, err larger — art that looks good in person can disappear at small sizes on screen.

Framed prints give a home office a more professional and considered look — important if clients or colleagues see the space on video calls. Matching frames create cohesion across a gallery wall. Our black and white frames suit most home office colour schemes, while the natural oak option works well in warmer, more relaxed study spaces.
