30 Photography Prints Guaranteed To Make A Room Look Cool
If there’s one styling trick that instantly lifts a room and adds some personality to your home, it’s artwork. Whilst we love illustrated prints or nude line drawings, colouring popping foodie designs and cute slogans for children’s bedrooms, nothing makes a room feel cooler than photography prints.
We’ve handpicked some of our favourites, from iconic black and white photos of film and music stars to captivating images from the natural world, retro cityscapes, to shots that will bring a Wes Anderson charm to the walls…
Whether you’re amid a full redecoration or looking to add your stamp to a rented property, what to spend your budget on can be a minefield. One thing, however, that you can do relatively cheaply and still make it look good, is art.
Photography prints are an even safer bet than painted mediums or prints if you have modest budgets to play with. And there are plenty of online retailers offering some of the most iconic images from popular culture, art-inspired designs and natural world prints.
First up, make your walls a visual representation of your Spotify playlist with mesmerising black and white prints of some of history’s most influential artists. A young Elvis from 1956 propped up against a wall with his iconic quiff, or early photos of the Fab Four frolicking in front of the Eiffel Tower.
If you’re looking to invest, get a Limited Edition print from the photographer’s estate with all the verification – we love music photography legend Mick Rock’s picture of Bowie onstage with his hands over his eyes like an owl. Place it over a mantelpiece for an iconic and quirky feel with a big punch of personality.
If music is less your thing, look to the natural world to add some calm and beauty to the walls. Photographer Astrid Harrison takes the most enchanting photos of horses in the wild from around the world. Her Camargue series would look great mixed into a soft, calming colour palette or even this season’s much-loved chocolate brown interior love affair.
