Adding an art print to your home is more than just decoration — it’s a way of bringing memories, stories and inspiration into your space. Whether it’s a view of the Surrey Hills, a favourite seaside escape, or a local landmark you know well, caring for your prints properly will keep them looking beautiful for years to come.

Here are some simple tips on how to frame, display and care for your art prints.

Keep Prints Out of Direct Sunlight

Direct sunlight is one of the quickest ways to fade colours in a print. If you’re hanging your Durdle Door, Dorset print, for example, place it on a wall that gets soft, indirect light so those turquoise blues and sandy tones stay vibrant. For sunnier spaces, consider a frame with UV-protective glass.

Choose the Right Frame

Framing prints isn’t just about style — it’s also about protection. Our Richmond Park, London prints look stunning in sustainably sourced wooden frames, ready to hang straight from the box.

If you’re framing your own, keep these in mind:

Acid-free mounts and backing stop yellowing
Tight seals protect against dust and humidity
UV-protective glazing keeps colours fresh

Avoid Damp or Humid Spots

Prints like Guildford Lido, Surrey bring a splash of summer fun indoors — but bathrooms and kitchens aren’t the best homes for them. Humidity can warp paper, so it’s best to display your prints in living rooms, bedrooms or hallways where the air is more stable.

Dust Prints with Care

A soft, dry cloth is perfect for gently removing dust from your framed prints. Whether it’s Leith Hill, Surrey or St Martha’s Hill, regular light dusting keeps your artwork fresh without damaging it. Avoid sprays or cleaners that could seep inside the frame.

Store Extra Prints Flat

If you like to rotate your wall art — perhaps switching your Zig Zag Road, Box Hill print with a coastal favourite — store the extras flat in a cool, dry place. Acid-free folders or portfolios are ideal for keeping prints safe long-term. If you print arrives rolled, leave it in a safe place to unfurl naturally and avoid any unneccessary creasing.

Final Thoughts

Prints are designed to be enjoyed every day — and with a little care, they can last for decades. Think of the classic travel posters from the early 20th century: often printed on thin, low-grade paper with basic lithographic techniques, many have faded or been lost over time. By contrast, our prints are produced on 250gsm Silk paper — a beautifully smooth stock that holds rich colour and detail, while being far more durable than vintage poster paper ever was.

By protecting your chosen prints from sunlight, choosing the right frame, and displaying them thoughtfully, your art collection will stay bright and beautiful — ready to spark memories and conversations in your home for years to come.
