Choosing The Perfect Wall Art Print For Your Home

How to know if a travel photography collection is right for you.

In a world filled with beautiful images, finding the right one for your home can feel overwhelming. It's easy to get lost in thousands of photos. 

I had it before. 

You click on a webshop, scroll through all the beautiful images.

But nothing really speaks to you, or everything speaks to you.

So, how do you know when you’ve found a photo that truly fits you?

This guide will help you choose a print that speaks to your space, interests and your sense of style.

1. Start with the feeling

The best art isn’t just decoration - it’s emotional. 

Ask yourself:
What feeling do I want this image to represent when I walk into a room?

Do you want a sense of calm? Adventure? Curiosity?

For example:

  • A sunrise next to Mt. Rinjani on Lombok brings serenity.

  • A minimalist still life shot on the Sri Lankan coast brings quiet focus and a feeling of curiosity.

2. Look for storytelling, not just scenery.

There is one thing I can’t get over and will never stop sharing - this should actually have been my first point, if you know me you’ll agree.

There are so many travel photography prints that don’t say anything. Don’t evoke any feeling.

And they are everywhere. Flowers in France? A front door in Portugal? 

Don’t get me wrong, they’re beautiful. But there is more to traveling than that. 

The most powerful prints tell a story. They pull you into a moment or a place and make you linger.

When choosing from a webshop, ask:

Does this image make me wonder what happened before or after the shot? Does it reflect a place, culture or emotion I feel connected to?

Storytelling travel photography prints go beyond pretty views. They bring meaning into your space.

3. Let your interior speak first

Think about your room’s vibe before picking a print.
Are you working with earthy tones, a monochrome palette or bold contrasts?

A piece of nature photography from Sri Lanka’s palmtree coastline will blend beautifully with a neutral interior.

On the other hand, a dynamic street scene from Sri Lanka could add an eye-catcher to a minimalist space.

4. Check the composition and style

Is the photo wide and open, or detailed and intimate? Does it have natural symmetry or imperfection?

These visual choices matter.

  • Choose wide-angle landscapes if you want to “open up” a space.

  • Go for still life or close-ups to create a focal point in a calm corner.

  • Darker, moody photos create coziness; bright, high-contrast images feel bold and alive.

5. Trust your gut, not the trends

The best part of art is: its subjectivity. 

The perfect print doesn’t have to be trendy or universally loved.

It has to mean something to you.

Sometimes, a photo simply stops you mid-scroll. That’s often your sign.

6. Make it easy: shop from curated collections

If you’re still unsure, start with curated collections from a quality printshop.

In our webshop, each destination has its own story, color mood and cultural rhythm. 

Every print is carefully chosen to reflect more than just a place - it reflects a moment and the art of a destination.
