Ultimate Wall Art Gift Guide

This may be the time of year to deck the halls with boughs of holly, but it’s also the time of year to give wall decor as gifts so your loved ones can deck their halls with art the rest of the year.

Just think about it: Wall decor is one of those luxuries that tends to be put off. You just don’t think about it, or you can’t justify spending money on artwork for yourself.

Heck, my hallway gallery wall was bare for years before I got around to it! (Psst, check out my free printables for temporary wall decor solutions.)

Your gift might just be the thing that helps your friend/family members dust off their frames and switch things up.

I’ve rounded up 50+ items in this ultimate wall art gift guide — something for everyone on your list. I came up with a target giftee for each item. Some of these are based on real people, so if you recognize yourself there’s a good chance it was on purpose!
