Do you ever feel like the art you've seen so far just doesn't create an impact? You're not alone....
Most prints aren't designed with white walls in mind. That's where we're different.
The White Wall Problem No One Talks About
White walls are one of the most popular interior choices for a reason.
Warm whites and creamy neutrals bounce the light into the room.
We noticed that most art out there just blends into the wall. So, we wanted to create art that becomes part of the room and makes you feel something. Unique art which is bold, colourful and full of meaning and emotion.
Designed for White Walls: What that actually means
Every single piece in our 'Cobalt Noire' series is created with one principle in mind: maximum visual contrast against a white or neutral background. The result is deep tones, richer compositions and bold choices in colour and form that become part of the family!
Why Does Contrast Make Art Come Alive?
The human eye is actually wired for contrast. Think of times gone by when we needed to find berries.... not a complete fact but you get my thinking right?
Dark tones and contrast make our art 'pop'. The contrast does the design work for you.
It Becomes Part of The Room, Not 'Just Decoration'
This is the part that can only be felt. The right large format framed print doesn't decorate a room. It brings it to life. Often it's a conversation starter. An energy. A feeling.
2026 trends are favouring one focal artwork that anchors the room. Perfect!
Styling Tips for Large Framed Canvas Prints
- GO BIG OR GO HOME! Go bigger than you think. The most common issue is undersizing. On a white wall, a large print owns the space!
- LET IT BREATHE! White walls give the perfect backdrop because they give the space for the art to exist. Don't crowd it!
- LIGHTING MAKES IT! Having lighting options really shifts the mood. You could directly light the piece, use 'the big light' or have soft ambient lighting to completely change the mood.
- ONE AND ONLY! Resist having lots of large pieces in the same room. One large format framed print really is all you need most of the time!
Quiet Luxury.... an interior trend for 2026?
Now we all know here at Ada and Bo we don't really like to follow the crowd... but we do listen to what people want. The trend for 2026 being 'quiet luxury' is something we can get on board with. We honour clarity, balance and visual calm over the flashy finishes and busy visuals.
A large and beautifully framed print on a white wall is the definition of that we think! It's confident without being loud and it makes the room feel complete and like home.
