We are featured in the Evening Standard's guide to Wall Art
Posted by Evening Standard on 1st May 2020
Continuing coronavirus lockdown measures means for many of us, our homes are now our whole worlds.
The living room is now the cinema, the kitchen performs as an in-house restaurant and you now think of your bathroom as a spa/ steam room (the latter normally when you forget to crack open a window before hopping into the shower).
But what about your walls? With museums closed for the foreseeable, this is the perfect opportunity to curate your own personal gallery. As well as snaps of your loved ones and favourite holiday memories, a framed print or poster can help inject some personality into your space and add colour to your walls, without the mess, expense and time of wallpaper and paint.
Decorating smaller spaces can be a great way to get started if you’re hesitant about hanging frames in larger rooms. A small loo or unloved corner of the hallway can be transformed by a well chosen art print or canvas. Create a gallery wall along the staircase or try grouping frames of various sizes together for an eclectic look you don't need to worry about aligning precisely.
Command strips are the single greatest invention when it comes to hanging pictures. Made with two strips of strong velcro backed by heavy duty adhesive, they can bear a surprising amount of weight and get pictures up in a flash - without a hammer or nail in sight. Properly removed, they should come off your walls without damaging the paint or wallpaper beneath - great news for house-proud renters with a deposit to think about.
From fine art replicas to botanical illustrations, contemporary art and wall canvases here are some of our favourite pieces of wall art to hang at home.
Sea Creatures print
East End Prints offers more than simple line drawings - there’s a world of framed and unframed prints perfect for adding some punch to your home decor. From motivational prints for your home office to contemporary illustrations of London, you could spend hours shortlisting your favourites (and believe us, we have). We’re angling for this Sea Creatures illustration - it certainly floats our boat.
Offset Godzilla
While it feels like we’re starring in our own surreal movie right now, a bit of escapism might just be your ticket to easy distraction. Measuring 50 x 70cm, this print by The Designers Nursery is destined to be loved by cinema fans and pop art lovers alike.
