Plan your picture wall – choose the right wall and theme
Starting with the right planning is the key to creating a balanced and harmonious art wall. The first thing to think about is where you want to place it . Will the art wall be in your living room, bedroom or perhaps in the hallway? It is also important to think about the size and shape of the wall – a large wall gives more freedom, but a smaller wall can also create an effective and intimate collage.
Choose a theme for your wall art. Do you want to create a wall with abstract art , a natural feel with botanical motifs or perhaps a collection of personal photographs ? Think about the rest of the room's decor and choose motifs that complement the colors and style of the room. If you have a minimalist home, a wall art with photo art or simple typography can be a perfect choice. For a more vibrant and energetic room, choose colorful posters or paintings.
Recommended motifs in our shop:
· Abstract motifs: Calm waters or A black line for a modern and stylish impression.
· Botanical motifs: White Hydrangeas and Pink Watercolor Flower for a calm and harmonious feeling.
· Photo art: Car tour of the amalfi coast for a classic touch.
· Personalised posters: To create a personalised wall art, you can use our tool to design your own poster with your favourite photo or personal text. This gives a unique and personal feel to your wall art.
Design your art wall – use our tool to test the layout
Before you start nailing and measuring, we recommend testing different combinations of posters and layout digitally. This way you can get a clear picture of how your art wall will look – without having to make any holes in the wall.

Choose the best frames for your picture wall
Frames are an important detail that can often be decisive for how your picture wall is perceived. Think about which style of frame best suits both the room and the pictures you have chosen. Are you looking for something minimalist, or do you perhaps want something more decorative that adds character?
Arthena offers a variety of frames – from sleek oak frames to classic black and white frames. We recommend sticking to one type of frame for the entire wall of pictures if you want a consistent feel, but varying the frames can also add dynamism if it suits your style.
Recommended frames from our store:
- Oak frames for a natural, warm feel
- Black frame for a stylish and timeless look.
- White frame to highlight the colorful or minimalist motifs.
Hang the paintings – this is how you do it for a professional result
Now it's time to hang your paintings! To make your wall of paintings look really good, think about the distance between the paintings . A common mistake is to place the paintings too far apart. To get a cohesive impression, you should keep a distance of 5–10 cm between each painting. Use a spirit level to make sure the paintings are hanging straight – even if it looks right to the eye, small skews can disrupt the overall look.
