After years of curating art for staging projects, I keep seeing the same mistakes:

1. Art that's too small for the wall. A single 8x10 on a 12-foot wall looks lost. Go bigger than you think — or create a gallery wall with 3-5 complementary pieces.

2. Hanging everything at eye level. Eye level works for galleries, but in living spaces the art should relate to the furniture below it. Center it 6-8 inches above the sofa or console.

3. Playing it safe with color. Neutral rooms need a pop. One bold piece creates a focal point that draws the eye and makes the whole space feel intentional.

4. Ignoring the frame. The frame is part of the design. A $5 print in the right frame outperforms a $500 print in the wrong one. Match frame material to the room's hardware and accents.

5. Buying art last. Art should be one of the first decisions, not an afterthought. It sets the color palette and mood for everything else.

I built Panda.png to solve this — curated, high-res digital art designed specifically for interior spaces. Print at any size, match to any palette. $9, one and done.
