Last summer, we shared a few tips on choosing art for a patterned wall. Since then, more of you have sent through photos of your own pairings, so we're back with a second look — this time through the work of Doug Hyde and Yuvi.
A home's walls tell as much of a story as the art hanging on them, so when some of our Rose Gallery customers sent us photographs of their own collections we couldn't resist sharing them.
There's a common assumption that patterned walls and art don't mix, that a busy wallpaper will always compete with whatever's hanging on it. But these homes tell a different story. Get the framing, the mount and the placement right, and pattern doesn't fight for attention. It gives the art somewhere interesting to stand.
Doug Hyde at Home
These homes prove that, done well, patterned wallpaper doesn't compete with great art - it helps it shine.
We love how Doug Hyde's uplifting characters have an uncanny ability to look at home almost anywhere. Against this striking geometric wallpaper, Family Time and Loved Up become even more vibrant and expressive. The bold pattern frames the artworks without overwhelming them, showing that strong interiors and collectable art can complement each other beautifully.
Let Your Walls Tell Your Story
The wallpaper behind Love U is full of movement and detail, yet the artwork still commands attention. The generous mount and light frame give it space to breathe, while the simplicity of Doug Hyde's scene draws the eye. Whether it's a bold feature wall or a quiet corner, we love seeing how our customers make a piece part of their home.
Finding the Perfect Spot
We know some spaces feel difficult to decorate. Staircases, landings and awkward corners often leave people wondering where their artwork will work best.
These photographs show how the right placement can transform a space — Teamwork creating a welcoming feature above the stairs, Punk Rocker bringing personality to a quiet corner.
For this customer, our team advised on placement before professionally installing each piece. If you're unsure where to start, that's exactly the kind of thing we're happy to help with.
Bold Meets Bolder
Bold interiors deserve art that's just as bold. This striking Yuvi piece shows how contemporary street art can hold its own against an intricate botanical backdrop — rather than competing for attention, the artwork and wallpaper enhance one another, creating a space full of confidence and character.
Whether your walls are plain, patterned or somewhere in between, the best displays happen when the artwork and the room work together, each enhancing the other. If you have a space that's waiting for the right artwork, we'd love to help.
