The material distinction is straightforward: art prints produced on 230gsm fine art paper with archival inks will hold their colour for decades. Standard posters will not. The second distinction is sizing — a piece produced to your exact wall dimensions will always look more considered than a standard format that happens to fit. At Olive et Oriel, both standards apply from $9.95. Affordable does not mean approximate. Browse new arrivals or explore by room and style.

A poster is produced on lightweight standard paper — typically 90–150gsm — with dye-based inks that are susceptible to UV fading within 1–3 years of direct light exposure. An art print uses 200gsm+ fine art paper and archival pigment inks rated for decades of colour stability. Olive et Oriel produces art prints on 230gsm fine art paper with archival inks — properly stored and away from prolonged direct sunlight, colour holds for 75+ years. The price difference between a poster and an art print is smaller than most people expect. The quality difference is not.

The most reliable rule: aim for 50–75% of the furniture width below the piece. Above a 2m sofa, 100–150cm wide. Above a queen bed, 100–120cm wide. For a dining room, the artwork should not exceed the width of the table. For a hallway, consider the ceiling height — taller formats in higher spaces. The most common mistake is undersizing — a piece that reads correctly in a gallery will often disappear on a domestic wall. Use paper templates taped to the wall before committing.

The living room rewards scale and considered composition. A single large-format piece — abstract, landscape, or coastal photography — anchors a seating area more effectively than a collection of smaller works at this scale. For longer walls, a curated pair or trio with consistent framing reads as intentional rather than collected. Neutral palettes hold the room across changing seasonal light. Colour, when used, should echo something already present in the space. For more: Australian coastal luxe interiors and maximalist styling.

Bathroom wall art benefits from subject matter that references the space — botanicals, coastal photography, abstract watercolour. Practically: frame behind glass in high-moisture bathrooms to protect the paper surface. Framed canvas is naturally more moisture-tolerant than paper prints in high-humidity environments. Read: how to transform a bathroom with wall art.

It depends entirely on the materials. Olive et Oriel art prints are produced on 230gsm fine art paper with archival pigment inks — the same standard used for fine art reproduction. Properly stored, out of prolonged direct sunlight, and behind UV-protective glass if framed separately, these prints will hold colour for 75+ years. Framed canvas on 300gsm matte white canvas with our UV ink system is rated for equivalent longevity. Affordable pricing does not reduce the material specification. Every piece — from $9.95 to $500 — is produced to the same standard at our Australian facility.

Yes. Find an equivalent Australian-made artwork at a better price elsewhere and we will beat it — not by an inch, by a mile. This is possible because we manufacture everything ourselves. We are not reselling another supplier's product at a margin — we are pricing what we make, at what we know it costs to make it well. The guarantee is a reflection of that confidence, not a promotional tactic.

Use a spirit level. Standard hanging height: 145–150cm from floor to the centre of the piece. In a dining room, lower to seated eye level: 120–130cm. For gallery walls: map the arrangement on paper first, transfer using painter's tape before making a single hole. For heavier framed pieces, locate a wall stud or use appropriate wall plugs — every Olive et Oriel framed piece arrives with fixings included. For murals: the complete Australian hanging guide.
