Found something you love? Let’s see how it could look in your home.

Start by opening an artwork on our website, then choose “Preview in your room.”

You can explore one of our sample rooms, or use a photograph of your own space. Try a living room, a bedroom, or somewhere unexpected. Sometimes a different setting helps you see a work with fresh eyes.

To add your own photograph on a phone, open Rooms and choose Gallery, Files, or Take a photo. On a computer, choose Change photo. Your photograph stays saved in this browser, so you can try other artworks in the same space.

For the most useful preview, take a moment to prepare the photograph.

If the wall looks tilted, choose Perspective or Skew. Move the handles to straighten it, then select Apply correction.

Next, set the scale. Choose a width or height you know, enter its actual measurement, and adjust the rectangle to match.

If straightening the photograph has changed its proportions, untick Keep proportions and enter both the width and height. You can work in centimetres or inches.

Now comes the enjoyable part.

Drag the artwork into position. Try it above the sofa, beside a favourite chair, or on that wall you’ve been wondering about.

Open Frames to explore the framing options. The preview begins without a frame. Choose an outer frame, and, if you select a standard frame rather than a floater, you can also add an inner frame.

Take your time. Compare a few possibilities and see what feels right in the room.

To keep your preview, select the download arrow. The saved image includes your room background. On a computer, you can also right-click the preview and choose Save image as.

To share the artwork itself, use the share button to send its image, link, and description.

And if you’d like to know more, click “Inquire about this work.” You’ll be taken to our contact page, with the artwork details already filled in. Leave your question, and we’d be delighted to help.

Enjoy exploring.
