Bondi Beach Surfers Framed Art Print
Buying wall art for your home should feel inspiring, not overwhelming. But when you’re shopping online, it’s easy to get stuck. Will that framed print feel too small above the sofa? Will the colours work with your walls? Is it better to go with canvas or fine art paper?
You’re not alone. These are some of the most common questions when it comes to buying wall art online.
And that’s exactly why we offer two tools to help you visualise your prints before you click “Add to Cart.” So you can shop Wanderlust Prints with confidence.

How to Preview Wall Art in Your Room Using AR and Mockups
View in AR — See Art on Your Wall Instantly
No app required. Just tap the “View in AR” button on any product page and watch your space transform, from your phone or tablet, wherever you are. If you’re browsing on a desktop, a quick scan of the QR code brings the print to life on your wall.
It’s quick, immersive, and surprisingly fun.
Create a Mockup — Custom Styling for Your Exact Wall
If you want a little more control, say you want to see the artwork framed in oak vs black, our mockup tool is for you.
Upload a photo of your space, enter your wall height, and choose the print style you love. The tool allows you to select, drag and resize our prints to create a mockup tailored to your room, with your choice of size and frame.
Top Questions About Buying Wall Art
What’s the best wall art size for above a bed or sofa?
This is one of the most common buyer dilemmas. But with our AR and mockup tools, you can see what size suits your space without second-guessing.
Tip: Aim for art that’s around two-thirds the width of the furniture beneath it. It creates visual balance, and going slightly larger than expected often makes the space feel more considered and complete.
Should I choose canvas or framed prints for my space?
Try both with just a tap. Whether you love the clean lines of canvas or the gallery-like elegance of framed art, you can preview how each style feels in your home. Read more in our blog: Canvas vs Framed
How do I choose wall art that matches my furniture and colour scheme?
Place the print right next to your real decor. You’ll instantly know if it complements your colour palette or adds the pop you were hoping for.
What wall art works best for high ceilings or small spaces?
Mockups are especially helpful here. You can experiment with vertical vs horizontal pieces, gallery walls, or statement sizes. And decide what fits your room’s proportions with clarity and certainty.
Tip: For high ceilings, try a vertical piece or stacked set, as it draws the eye upward and makes the space feel grounded without overwhelming it.
