The Ultimate Guide to Choosing Wall Art for Your Home | Miola UK

Wall art is one of the most powerful ways to transform your home. Whether you're decorating your first flat, refreshing a cosy bedroom, or updating your living room, the right artwork adds personality, style, and emotional warmth. At Miola, we believe every wall deserves a story — and everyone deserves a space that feels beautifully their own.

In this guide, you’ll discover how to choose wall art, explore trending styles in the UK, and get inspiration on curating your perfect gallery wall. We’ve also highlighted one of our favourite pieces, The Fox & The Hare, a stunning example of how art can bring charm, depth, and elegance to your home.

Why Wall Art Matters in Home Décor

Wall art does far more than decorate a room — it defines it. As one of the first things guests notice when they walk in, your artwork sets the tone, mood, and personality of your living space.

Wall Art Benefits:

  • Creates a focal point that draws the eye

  • Adds colour and visual balance to your décor

  • Expresses your personal style and interests

  • Completes a room, making it feel polished and intentional

With Miola’s curated collections, finding wall art that truly resonates has never been easier.

How to Choose the Perfect Wall Art for Your Space

Selecting wall art shouldn’t feel overwhelming — it should feel exciting. Here’s how to choose the right pieces for your home.

1. Choose Wall Art That Fits Your Space

Size matters. A large piece works beautifully above sofas, beds, or hallway consoles. Smaller prints shine in gallery walls or intimate corners.

Tip: Aim for artwork that is 60–75% of the width of your furniture for perfect visual proportion.

2. Match Your Colour Palette

To create a cohesive look, choose artwork that brings out one or two colours already in your décor. Soft neutrals, earthy tones, and warm hues are especially popular in UK homes right now.

If you prefer a bold statement? Contrast colours can bring instant impact.

3. Pick Art That Reflects Your Personality

From modern abstracts to nature-inspired prints, your home should celebrate who you are.

If you love soulful, nature-themed art with emotional depth, explore Miola’s enchanting The Fox & The Hare — a beautifully detailed piece that represents connection, courage, and companionship.

4. Consider the Mood of Each Room

Different rooms benefit from different styles of art:

  • Living Room: bold abstracts, striking portraits, large statement pieces

  • Bedroom: calming landscapes, soft minimalism, romantic artwork

  • Home Office: motivational prints, modern line art, inspiring photography

Whatever your style, Miola’s collection has a piece for every mood.
