“The brands I use a lot in the show homes are Desenio, The Poster Club, Paper Collective, and Drool.

“But it’s always worth considering local artists and studios – like Liverpool-based, Tom Pigeon – to support independent talent too.”

“Some brands also give you the opportunity to give back – and that can be a really nice thing to incorporate into your new home.

“Tom Pigeon’s Make Bank supports disadvantaged pupils of art of design, and In Good Company’s #PostersForThePeople project – featured in our Manchester show home – raised ‘smiles’ and ‘funds’ for chosen charities throughout the pandemic.”

“Look for something you really like – don’t be worried about what’s popular or what the latest trend is on Instagram.

“Art is personal. It’s all about finding something that speaks to you, something that means something to you personally.

“Find a piece relating to a place that’s important to you or go and visit somewhere you love and find something from there.

“You also always have the option to get something even more personal by commissioning a piece of artwork or by buying from artists who offer customisation on platforms like Etsy.”

“I think art is about how you personalise your home.

“It’s about making a statement about your personality and about who you are by what you choose.

“We could give everybody the same sofa and the same room – and they would all personalise it differently with art and accessories.

“For example, all our rentals have the same furniture packs in them, but if you go into each home, the personality would come out in the accessories they choose and the artwork they put with it.”

01 — If you’re trying to find prints that will look aesthetically pleasing together, on most websites, you can search by colour or style. It just makes the finding process so much easier.

02 — On Desenio’s website, there’s a gallery wall builder tool – it’s a great way to try before you buy. You can select a background, a gallery wall template, then you can click on each frame and add a print from the website.

03 — You don’t have to build an entire gallery wall feature at once. Start with one centre piece that you love, and build out from there.

04 — Use Command Strips instead of drilling holes and hammering nails into your walls – this method is a great, inexpensive alternative for renters. It means you can be more flexible with your design, and you can change it up whenever you feel without damaging your wall.

05 — Remember the little artists in your family. Don’t just purchase your prints, frame your children’s drawings and paintings alongside their photos too.

06 — Remember, a gallery wall doesn’t have to be a cluster of prints of all different styles, shapes, and colours. If that’s not your thing, go for a triptych (a print series made up of three sections). Keep it neat, line it up, and go for a similar look so it appears calming and cohesive.
