The most interesting rooms mix art styles — but there's a difference between eclectic and chaotic. Here's how to combine different print styles cohesively.
Pick a Color Thread
The easiest way to mix styles is through color. If your abstract canvas has blue and gold tones, pair it with a nature print that shares those colors — even if the subject matter is completely different. The shared palette creates visual continuity.
Vary the Scale
Don't hang three 24x36 canvases at the same height in a row. Instead, mix sizes: a large 36x48 statement piece, a medium 24x36, and a small 16x20. The variation in scale creates rhythm and prevents the wall from feeling flat.
Frame Consistency
All our gallery-wrapped canvases share the same 1.5-inch wooden stretcher bar profile, which makes mixing styles easy — the consistent frame depth ties different subjects together. If you add framed prints or macrame hangings, keep the frame or material tone consistent (all warm wood, or all natural fiber).
The Rule of Odd Numbers
Groupings of three or five feel more natural than pairs. Try a large abstract canvas flanked by two smaller nature prints, or a bohemian macrame hanging between two botanical canvases. The asymmetry feels collected rather than planned.
Trust Your Eye
If a combination feels right, it probably is. The best art walls evolve over time — start with one anchor piece and add to it as you find prints that speak to you. There's no formula that beats your own instinct.
