Artwork Collections and Styles
The Amber Lewis x Loloi art collection features muted, organic landscape and abstract prints in neutral tones — earthy greens, warm taupes, and soft blues designed to blend with her signature California aesthetic. Dovetail artwork tends toward bold abstract compositions with visible brushwork and saturated color. Mercana offers a mix of photography-based prints and dimensional wall art. Lauren Fuhr is a local St. Louis artist whose original paintings and prints bring expressive color and texture. Ethnicraft wall panels are hand-carved from solid wood — sculptural pieces that function as both art and texture.
Choosing the Right Size
Over a sofa, artwork should span 50-75% of the sofa width. For a standard 84-inch sofa, choose a single piece between 42-63 inches wide, or a pair of smaller works with 2-4 inches between them. Above a console table, the art should be slightly narrower than the table. In an entryway, hang the center of the piece at 57-60 inches from the floor (gallery height). For large blank walls, go bigger than you think — undersized art on a large wall looks like an afterthought. Our large-scale pieces from Dovetail and Mercana are sized for statement walls.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I hang artwork at the right height?
The center of the artwork should sit at 57-60 inches from the floor — this is standard gallery height and works whether you are standing or seated nearby. Above furniture (sofa, console, bed headboard), hang the bottom edge of the frame 6-8 inches above the furniture top. For a gallery wall with multiple pieces, use 2-3 inches of spacing between frames and align all pieces along a common center line.
What is the difference between giclée prints and original artwork?
Giclée prints are high-resolution reproductions printed on archival paper or canvas using pigment-based inks. They capture fine detail and accurate color from the original work at a fraction of the price. Most Amber Lewis x Loloi and Loloi art pieces are giclée prints. Original artwork (Lauren Fuhr, select Dovetail pieces) is one-of-a-kind, painted by the artist, with visible texture and brushwork that prints cannot replicate. Originals hold more long-term value but cost significantly more.
Does the artwork come framed?
It varies by brand. Amber Lewis x Loloi art prints come with a frame and are ready to hang. Most Dovetail and Mercana pieces are framed or gallery-wrapped on canvas (no frame needed). Lauren Fuhr originals may be sold unframed or with a simple float frame — check each product page for details. Ethnicraft wall panels mount directly to the wall with included hardware and do not require framing.
How do I protect artwork from fading?
Avoid hanging art in direct sunlight — UV exposure fades pigments over time, even in giclée prints. If the wall gets afternoon sun, use UV-protective glass or acrylic in the frame. Keep artwork away from high-humidity areas (bathrooms, above kitchen stoves). Giclée prints on archival paper last 75-100 years under normal indoor conditions. Original oil and acrylic paintings are more durable but still benefit from indirect lighting.
