Tips: How To Choose A Print For Any Room
While there are no fixed rules to choosing a print, considering a few pointers can help you make your best choice:
Example Entrance: Theme & Color Scheme
The entrance piece welcomes your guests, and sets the mood you want to come home to every day. Choosing a natural theme in a calming color scheme will allow for everyone to unwind as soon as they enter your place.

The natural theme and elegant color scheme ensure an artistic reception for your guests and yourself (print 'Silence' from the Alpwald collection)
Example Kitchen: Size of Print & Surroundings
Sometimes a small print is enough to liven up a whole space. For this cosy kitchen I suggest a Black & White Animal Portrait to reference the surrounding country side, while recharging us with its friendliness every time we start and end our day.

A small print can be enough to create a beautiful eye-catcher in any room (print 'Mountain Goat' from the 'Isola Friends' collection)
Example Bath Room: 4 Elements Theory & Shape of Print
An alternative way of adding meaning through art work is the 4 element theory of life: Water & Air as a theme seem a natural fit for bath rooms and spas - the (almost) square format further adds to the feeling of calm.

“Water and air. These substances are so commonplace that they hardly attract attention - and yet they guarantee our existence." (Hiroshi Sugimoto) (Print Atlantic Morning II from the Voices of the Sea collection
Example Living Room: Identity & Storytelling
After the kitchen, the living room is where families and their guests tend to spend the most of their at-home time together. Prints that reflect your families' favourite places, activities, and joint memories create tokens of security, stability, and longing.

Harmonizing colors and materials further enhance the pleasant atmosphere. (Print 'Diavolezza' from the 'Engadin: Power of the Mountains' collection)
Example Chalet: Cool versus Warm Tones
For this typical Swiss chalet rich in wooden features I suggest prints with cool tones. A thin frame in a dark color further accentuates the play with warm and cool notes.

Example Blue Wall: Wall Color & Framing
Motifs, wall colours and frames that harmonise with your interior style and accessories, eventually total up to the piece of art that is your home.
