Now that so many of us work from home, the study has stopped being a spare corner and become a room worth getting right. What you put on the walls shapes how it feels to sit there all day, and whether you land at your desk switched on or a little flat. It also happens to be the backdrop for every video call you take. Here is how to style a home office you actually want to work in.

Set the Tone for Focus

Pick art that settles your eye rather than pulls at it. Open landscapes and soft abstracts give a small room some breathing space behind the desk. A calm piece like Headland Clouds does that easily, and a touch of green from our green wall art brings the outdoors in, which tends to help concentration.

Or Choose Something With a Bit of Energy

If you work better with a spark around you, go bolder. A modern or abstract piece adds colour and movement without cluttering the wall. Something like Cubist Now keeps a workspace feeling awake through a long afternoon.

Sort Out Your Video-Call Backdrop

The wall behind you is part of how you show up on camera, so treat it that way. One well sized artwork, or a neat pair, looks far sharper than a scatter of little frames. Hang it behind your chair at about eye level when you are seated, so it frames you rather than floats over your head.

Match the Art to the Wall

Size the piece to the wall, not the desk sitting under it. A wide wall can take a large work or a pair. A small nook wants one piece with a little space around it. Layered canvases from our textured wall art range add depth to a compact study, and our size guide helps you land the right proportions.
