Placement & Usage Tips
Display botanical prints in kitchens, sunrooms, bathrooms, and hallways where their natural subject matter feels contextually appropriate. A series of matching botanical prints hung in a horizontal row creates a strong visual rhythm. Use consistent framing—white mats with thin black or natural wood frames—for a polished, collected look.
💡 Pro Tip
Source vintage botanical prints from estate sales, antique shops, or reputable online archives that offer high-resolution scans of public-domain illustrations. An authentically aged print with natural foxing and patina carries a warmth and character that modern reproductions cannot replicate.
