Galiceno Blue Wall Art, Set of 2

Framing prints under glass is an essential preservation method. The glass acts as a protective barrier against dust, moisture, and environmental pollutants that can degrade watercolor-style prints over time. Additionally, it prevents accidental fingerprints or smudges on the paper, ensuring the abstract details and vibrant blue tones remain crisp and clear for years.

Double matting provides a sophisticated, gallery-style finish by adding physical depth and a professional border around the image. This technique creates a visual "window" that draws the eye into the artwork, making the contemporary abstract subject feel more prominent. The layered matting also ensures the print does not touch the glass directly, which is a standard archival practice to prevent potential moisture damage or sticking.

Square wall art is exceptionally versatile for urban living and smaller floor plans. In narrow spaces like hallways or entryways, you can hang these prints vertically to draw the eye upward and make the ceiling feel higher. In a living room, placing them side-by-side with a few inches of "breathing room" between the silver frames creates a clean, symmetrical anchor for the room's contemporary aesthetic.

While the sleek silver frame and glass front provide a level of protection against ambient moisture, these prints are best suited for well-ventilated rooms. In high-humidity environments or coastal climates, extreme moisture can occasionally cause the paper matting to warp over time. To ensure the longevity of the watercolor medium, we recommend hanging this set in a climate-controlled area or a bathroom with an efficient exhaust fan.

When selecting art, a professional design rule is to choose a piece—or a set—that covers roughly two-thirds to three-quarters of the wall space above your furniture. This set of two square prints, each measuring 26" x 26", is ideal for hanging above a standard 60-inch console table or a queen-sized headboard. For the most balanced look, our experts recommend hanging the center of the artwork approximately 57 to 60 inches from the floor to meet the average eye level.

For wall decor, this typically indicates that you will need to attach the hanging hardware to the back of the frames or secure the prints within the frames upon arrival. Based on our assembly standards, this process is straightforward and allows you to choose the orientation that best fits your wall—whether you prefer a perfectly level horizontal alignment or a creative staggered layout. Always ensure you use wall anchors appropriate for your wall type (e.g., drywall vs. plaster) to safely support the weight of the glass.
