How to Choose Pacific Northwest Wall Art for Your Home
Pacific Northwest art has a character all its own. The region's ancient forests, volcanic peaks, dramatic coastlines, and iconic wildlife — orcas, herons, eagles — make for wall art that's both visually striking and deeply meaningful to those who love this corner of the world.
If you're shopping for Pacific Northwest wall art, here's how to find the right piece for your space.
Start With the Feeling You Want
Before you think about size or color, think about mood. Pacific Northwest art spans a wide emotional range:
- Serene and meditative — misty forest scenes, still water reflections, heron in a marsh
- Bold and dramatic — orca breaching at sunset, Mount Rainier in alpenglow, stormy coastal scenes
- Warm and nostalgic — autumn in Leavenworth, golden fields, familiar Washington landmarks
Linda Sholberg's collection spans all three — so it helps to know whether you want your room to feel calm, energized, or warmly familiar before you browse.
Match the Size to Your Wall
Size is the most common mistake buyers make. A print that looks large online can disappear on a big wall — and vice versa. General guidelines:
- Small walls and reading nooks: 8x10 or 11x14
- Standard living room walls: 16x20 or 18x24
- Feature or gallery walls: 24x30 or larger, or a curated grouping of smaller prints
Linda's Pacific Northwest art prints are available in multiple sizes, so you can find the right fit without compromising on the image you love.
Framed or Unframed?
Unframed fine art prints give you flexibility to choose your own frame and mat — ideal if you have a specific interior style to match. Framed canvas prints are ready to hang immediately and deliver a gallery-quality look right out of the box.
Why Washington Coastal Art Works in Any Room
One underrated quality of Pacific Northwest wall art is its versatility. The region's color palette — deep greens, slate blues, warm golds, and soft greys — complements virtually any interior, from modern Scandinavian to rustic Pacific Northwest cabin style.
