They can be a great reminder of somewhere you used to call home or even still do! Custom house portraits would be a great addition to your wall decor in any room.
What They Are
Custom house portraits are custom art pieces of the outside of your home. They are a unique and creative way to display a place that you hold near and dear to your heart. There are lots of different ways you can get your custom house portraits done. Some artists offer drawings, in black and white or in color, watercolor paintings, acrylic paintings, or even just sketches. Each piece is as custom as your home, so whichever type you choose will still look amazing.
Where To Get Them
The great thing about these custom pieces is there are tons of places to get it right at your fingertips. So start looking online or you can see if a local artist offers them.
A great place to start is Etsy, which as an added bonus helps support small business owners and local artists.

Research the different artists and see what they have to offer before choosing which best fits your style.
Some artists on Etsy even offer free digital downloads, that way you won’t have to wait for your print to arrive in the mail, and you can upload it right to our site to start designing your frame! That way your frame will come with your portrait already mounted and ready to be hung.
Another great option is to frame a photo of your home. Whether its by a professional photographer or just a cellphone picture that you have taken
Create a Display
Once you have ordered and received your custom portrait, think about creating a beautiful display in your home for the piece. First, you will want to measure the picture, this step is very important so it ensures that your picture will fit perfectly into its frame. Next, head over to our Frame Designer to design your custom frame from start to finish. If you are choosing to add a matboard and your house portrait is in black and white, choose a color that goes well with your other decor, or simply choose black or white to keep it simple. If your house portrait has color added to it, choose a color that is somewhere in your picture, even if it’s a small detail like the lilac bush in your front yard or the color of your front door, that way the color in the picture will pop even more! Finally, once you receive your frame from Frame It Easy, it’s ready to be hung! We supply all the hanging accessories needed (besides the hammer!) to make it even easier for you. Once you have hung your frame, you’re good to go!
