Quality art prints are timeless.
That being said, it never hurts to revitalize a living room, or breathe new air into an office interior, with the help of a couple contemporary prints. 2025 has come, let’s take a look at a few contemporary art print trends that are likely here to stay.
Minimalism There, Minimalism Everywhere
Let’s start simple. Minimalist art prints can be seen all over the place, and rightfully so. They’re friendly in nature, approachable in appearance, and can be effortlessly paired with almost any interior.
Think Scandinavian style prints - clean, elegant lines, and gentle color palettes create an uplifting atmosphere no matter the space.
It’s no wonder so many DIY decorators gravitate toward this trend - place a minimalist print along a staircase, or slap one on a bathroom wall, you really can’t go wrong with this style.
Bold Graphic Prints For a Lasting Impact
But what about something a little riskier? A print style that can really pop?
Bold graphic styles may not be for ‘beginners’, but if handled with care, their explosive palettes can secure a visual focal point in any space.
We’re talking prints characterized by thick black lines bordering strong colors that bring a powerful energy to the room, making them a clear contender as a 2025 trend.
Artists like Nynke Tynagel daringly craft graphic prints that command attention, taking everyday objects, like office supplies, and imbuing them with brilliant color combinations to create memorable works.
Happy owners of such prints know all too well how much of a conversation starter they can be.
Surrealism's Always Welcome
Another favorite 2025 art print trend can be loosely categorized as surrealism.
Dreamscapes of whimsical colors might prove challenging to interpret, but their refreshing originality extends beyond the confines of the print to complement a range of interiors.
What’s so cool about surrealism is the personal meaning each viewer brings to the print. Not only that, but depending on the decor with which the print is paired, an entirely different story will be told.

Surrealist artists like Jiayue Li sketch objects that float off the print and into the room, seen in prints like ‘Horizon’, prompting the viewer to pause and reflect.
A slightly more ‘modern’ interpretation of surrealism can be seen in the prints by Studio Wieki Somers—their Still Life series features photographs of handmade paper flowers, layered in a way that subverts our usual perceptions. A simple flower is given a new life as a meaningful symbol woven into an abstract vision.
Whatever Your Flavor, There’s Plenty to Choose From in 2025
If you’re going for versatility and ease, minimalism may be your best bet. If you want to make a lasting impression, bold graphics are probably the way to go.
Drifting in a dream in between? Try on surrealism for size.
Trending or not, trust your own taste—give a print you love a home.
