White
White wall art in long, narrow formats - slim canvas prints that keep a wall feeling open rather than filled. From crisp bright white through to ivory, chalk and soft alabaster, these are the pieces to reach for when a room needs shape and proportion without another strong colour in it.
Inside you'll find minimalist compositions with plenty of negative space, subtly textured abstracts, pale coastal scenes and delicate line work. A long horizontal print widens the wall above a sofa or bed, while a tall vertical piece lifts a hallway or narrow alcove.
Each artwork is made to order in a range of sizes, as a stretched canvas or in a floating or classic frame in black, white, oak, walnut or gold, and arrives ready to hang.
White wall art - frequently asked questions
Sizing, hanging height and the questions we are asked most.
Does white wall art work on a white wall?
It can, but it needs either texture or a frame to define its edges - otherwise the canvas visually merges into the wall. A textured abstract, a piece with visible tonal shifts, or any of these in a black or walnut frame will read properly. A flat white print in a white frame on a white wall will not.
What is the point of white wall art?
Proportion without colour. A white piece gives a wall structure and a focal point while leaving the room's colour scheme untouched - useful in a space that already has plenty going on, or in a room you want to keep light. It is the choice for when the wall needs something but the room does not need another colour.
What shades count as white wall art?
Crisp bright white through ivory, chalk and soft alabaster. Bright white suits a modern, high-contrast room; ivory and alabaster are warmer and sit better against wood, linen and period features. On a bright white wall, choose a warmer shade so the piece reads as distinct.
What frame suits white wall art?
Black gives the cleanest definition and is the safest choice on a pale wall. Walnut and wood warm the piece and suit a room with natural materials. A white frame only works if the wall behind is a different colour - otherwise you lose the edge entirely.
What rooms suit white wall art?
Small and north-facing rooms, where keeping the wall light matters, and bedrooms and bathrooms where you want calm without colour. It also works well in a room that already has a strong colour scheme, giving the eye somewhere quiet to rest. In a large, dark room it can look insubstantial unless the piece is very large.
