Choosing wall art for your main living space can feel overwhelming - there are so many styles, colours, and animals to pick from! But it doesn’t have to be complicated. For me, the most important thing is joy. A painting should make you smile every time you see it, reflect your personality, and add life to the room. That’s why I focus on creating animal art that’s bold, colourful, and full of energy, whether it’s a playful dog, a proud stag, or a gentle Highland cow.
Why do dogs, stags, and Highland cows work so well as wall art?
Dogs, stags, and Highland cows each bring their own unique energy to a space. Dogs are full of life, movement, and warmth - perfect for families or cosy corners. Stags bring strength, elegance, and a touch of wilderness into a room. And Highland cows? They’re calm, fluffy, and utterly charming, giving any space a sense of comfort and personality.
When I paint, I aim to capture not just the animal itself, but the spirit behind it. Colour is key. Bright, joyful hues lift a room instantly and create a connection between the painting and your mood.
How can I make sure the animal artwork matches my style?
Start by looking at your space. Is it minimal and modern, or warm and cosy? Bold, colourful animal art works beautifully against neutral walls, creating a striking focal point. In more colourful rooms, you can pick tones from the painting to complement your existing decor.
I always encourage my customers to think about connection. When you fall in love with a painting, it should resonate with you emotionally - whether it’s a dog painting that reminds you of a loved pet, a Highland cow painting that brings a smile, or a stag that sparks a sense of adventure. That emotional connection is what makes a painting a home favourite.
Should I choose framed animal art prints or canvas for my living room?
Both options work beautifully, but framed prints have a polished, finished feel that’s perfect for main living spaces. They add depth, elegance, and make the artwork feel like a feature piece rather than just decoration. My animal art prints are carefully crafted so that every brushstroke, every splash of colour, and every detail in the eyes shines through - bringing that sense of life and character straight into your home.
How can animal art add joy and personality to my space?
A well-chosen piece of animal wall art does more than fill a wall. It creates an atmosphere. It sparks conversation. It brings colour, personality, and a little bit of magic. Whether you’re honouring a beloved pet with a pet portrait, celebrating the beauty of nature, or simply brightening your home with a piece of animal art that makes you happy, the right painting can completely transform your living space.
When you pick animal artwork that speaks to you, you’re not just decorating - you’re curating joy. And that’s what I love most about painting animals: giving you something that connects, delights, and brings your home to life every single day.
