Transform Your Holiday Let with Captivating Artwork
Adding artwork to your holiday let isn’t just about filling empty walls—it’s about creating a memorable space that tells a story. Whether your property is a cosy countryside retreat or a stylish coastal escape, carefully chosen artwork can elevate your interiors and leave a lasting impression on your guests.
Here’s how to do it right:
1. Let the décor guide your choices
Think of your artwork as the final brushstroke to your property’s personality. Does your space lean towards rustic charm, modern minimalism, or a bright, beachy vibe? Choose pieces that reflect your style and colour palette to bring harmony to your décor. My collection includes intricate landscapes and vibrant wildlife pieces—perfect for complementing a variety of interior styles.
2. Mix it up
Combining different art styles can create a rich, layered feel. Pair a vibrant landscape illustration with a textured wildlife print or a funky floorplan design. Mixing mediums—like framed prints and hand-drawn sketches—can add depth and intrigue to your walls.
3. Make a statement
Sometimes, all you need is one bold piece. A large-scale landscape mural of a favourite landmark or town, for example, becomes more than artwork—it’s a conversation starter. My framed, limited-edition prints offer a stunning way to create that focal point.
4. Hang with care
It’s tempting to just "eyeball it," but hanging artwork at the right height is crucial. Eye level (approximately 145–150 cm from the floor) is the sweet spot for ensuring guests can fully enjoy each piece.
5. Showcase local flavour
Featuring art inspired by the area where your property is located not only gives your space a unique touch but also resonates with your guests. My Peak District-inspired pieces, for instance, bring the charm of historic buildings and atmospheric landscapes into your space.
6. Tell a story through a theme
Art can unify your holiday let with a subtle theme. A property near the sea? Choose illustrations with coastal colours, nautical motifs, or seaside scenes. A woodland retreat? My wildlife macro illustrations or tree-inspired landscapes are perfect for echoing the natural surroundings.
7. Less is more
Avoid overwhelming your guests with cluttered walls. Choose a few standout pieces that add personality while maintaining a serene, uncluttered feel. A well-placed gallery of thoughtfully curated drawings will always outshine a mishmash of random items.
