One of the questions we field most often, every week of the year, is which finish lasts longest — canvas, framed print, or poster.

How to Choose Canvas Print Size for Any Room (With cm + Inch Chart)
Most wall-art mistakes in Australian homes come down to one thing: size. The print is fine, the framing is fine, the spot on the wall is fine — but the proportions are off.

William Morris and the Botanical Print Comeback: Floral Wall Art for Biophilic 2026 Interiors
There is a particular kind of quiet that comes over a room when a William Morris print enters it.

Mark Rothko and the Mid-Century Abstract Revival on Australian Walls
Walk into a thoughtfully decorated Australian home in 2026 and there’s a fair chance you’ll see something Mark Rothko would have recognised: a large rectangle of saturated colour, hovering on a softly bruised ground, doing very little and saying a great deal. After several years of maximalism — gallery walls, neon pop prints, Warhol grids… Continue reading Mark Rothko and the Mid-Century Abstract Revival on Australian Walls

More than 130 years after Vincent Van Gogh put down his brushes for the last time in a wheatfield outside Auvers-sur-Oise, he is still — by a wide margin — the most-hung painter in Australian homes.

Why Australian Homes Are Suddenly Choosing ‘Soft Modern’ Wall Art Over Bold Statement Pieces in 2026
For years, Australian interiors leaned heavily into impact. Big contrast, oversized black accents, dramatic abstract pieces, sharp geometric lines, and bold statement walls all had their moment.

The Importance of Light for Art in a Room
Light is not a finishing touch when it comes to displaying art. It is one of the core ingredients that determines how an artwork is seen, felt, and preserved over time.
