We Will Help You With The Decision Process
The purchase of any artwork, including Fine Art Landscape Photography, for your home or office is never an easy decision. There are many things to consider, and I would like to provide you with as much information as I can to help you through the process. I understand these decisions are highly personal, and I am available to answer any questions you may have.
I am not an interior design expert, but I will help you in every way that I can. If you are unsure of anything relating to purchasing artwork and have access to a local interior decorator or design expert, I would highly recommend consulting with them in advance of your purchase. The next best thing is the many online articles and guides that are available today. I will reference a few of them below.
Choose The Scene You Relate To
Many people choose Landscape Photography Prints because of a connection to a location or scene. Perhaps they lived nearby or had a very special experience there, and they want something to remember it by. With our large selection of fine art prints from many locations, it is easy to see why there could be more than one to choose from.
Of course, it is perfectly fine to purchase artwork simply because you feel it will be a striking addition to your home or office. Maybe it is a location you would like to go to someday or even just the colors you find attractive. Art is always subjective, and if you like it, you like it.
Consider Matching Colors In The Room
This decision is subjective, and there is not a set answer. The world outside may have scenes with muted earth tones, like in the desert areas. There may be deep greens in the forests, blue skies, or colorful trees and flowers. The world outside is a beautiful place. We believe any of our landscape photos would look great in any room in your home. There could be some rare cases where colors might conflict, but that is probably unlikely.
Matching colors may provide a more soothing and restful feel. The bedroom below is an example of this.
On the other hand, a colorful image can add a certain amount of “pop” and be a wonderful focal point for the room. The living room with the fine art print of the Colorado mountains is an example of this possibility.
In the following example, some of the Magenta tones in the landscape photo from Grand Teton National Park are complimented by the pillows on the sofa.
Choose the Size That Fits Your Space
I can't recall how many times in my life I just winged it and hung artwork on the wall, only to quickly realize I'd put it in the wrong place. Fortunately, today we have many online references and guides to help us through the process if we are not using an interior design specialist.
Fine Art Prints are expensive, and realizing after you hang them on the wall that you should have purchased a larger size can be an expensive lesson to learn. Yes, the cost is a factor, but properly filling the wall space is important. The following two articles provide some valuable information to get you started.

The following examples give you an idea of the issue.
Choose The Orientation That's Best For Your Room
Depending on your wall, you may want the expansive look of a panoramic print, a vertical print with a striking foreground, or a horizontal print with standard dimensions.
Choose the Presentation That Is Right For You
We offer three print styles, each with its own advantages. All of my prints are limited-edition, with a maximum of 100 made of each image, regardless of style. Print Style Option Details
- Lumachrome® HD Acrylic Prints using TruLife® acrylic offer details that appear to emerge in 3D from the depths of the image, along with brilliant colors, superior shadow luminosity & detail, and a radiant glowing response under proper lighting.
- Chromaluxe® Metal Fine Art Prints will take on a magical luminescence when your images are on them. Colors are vibrant, and the luminescence is breathtaking. Detail and resolution are unsurpassed for metal prints.
- Hahnemühle Fine Art Photo Rag® Baryta Prints are the best paper for either Color or black-and-white prints with an inkjet coating specially tailored for Fine Art use.

Hanging It On The Wall
Where to hang your artwork on the wall can always be a little bit of a struggle. Every time I hang something, I feel like I'm all over the place about how high to hang it above the floor or furniture. Once again, there are some excellent online articles and guides available if you are not working with an interior design expert. The ones mentioned previously also address this issue.
Thoughts About Lighting
We all want our Fine Art Prints to look their very best. The nature of Lumachrome® HD Acrylic Prints using TruLife® Acrylic Prints, Chromaluxe® Metal Prints, and the Hahnemühle Fine Art Photo Rag® Baryta Prints is that they come alive with a certain brilliance when light is applied to them.
If you're like me, you may not have track lighting or recessed ceiling lights to provide the perfect lighting. Many of us have to rely on natural light coming through the windows or on other room lighting. This doesn't mean your prints cannot have an impact, just not as much as if special lighting is applied.
The next best thing to special lighting is a well-lit room with indirect sunlight. The TruLife® Acrylic does an amazing job of reducing what glare there is while the metallic nature of the printing surface uses the natural light to reflect the details of the print. Direct sunlight is always a no-no, as it causes glare and reflections and can eventually reduce the print's vibrancy.
A local lighting or interior design expert can be of great service when deciding on lighting for your artwork. If this is not an option or you want to go it alone, there are excellent online guides available that discuss the type of lights (LED, Incandescent, Halogen, etc.), lighting angles, and color temperature. The following are links to a couple of these guides.

Of course, you should use the services of a qualified electrician to install lighting.
