    Pixalot is a Cape Town-based e-commerce retailer that offers a large selection of beautiful wall art mounted on canvas or framed behind glass. Their offering includes a wide range of themes and colours, from abstract and arty wall art to animals, botanicals, seascapes, landscapes and people.

    Choose whether you want mounted canvas or a framed print, and your preferred size. Pixalot offers up to 20 size variants, and frames are available in black, white or wood. Pixalot is one of the few wall art stores to offer super-sized wall art and regularly ships wall art as big as 3 metres in length to customers nationwide.

     

    Why use Pixalot?

     

    Top interior designers and luxury décor stores in South Africa use Pixalot to create made-to-order wall art because the company has a reputation for using the highest-quality materials and skilled craftsmen. Images are printed in high resolution on a colour-calibrated Epsom printer which produces crystal-clear results.

    Pixalot never compromises on quality and does not import cheap materials from overseas. Only the finest wood frames and blended cotton is used in the manufacturing process. Mounted canvas prints are stretched over 45mm subframes, as opposed to 25mm subframes that other suppliers use.

    How Pixalot started

     

    Prior to launching Pixalot, founder Tim Culley, enjoyed a long career in decor retail management at Weylandts, Truworths & Loads of Living - it was during this time that Tim came to fully understand the customer’s needs and the demand for high-quality decor products. Before retail, Tim worked for international ad agencies BBDO & TBWA alongside exceptional photographers and graphic artists who inspired his passion for beautiful artwork.

    Pixalot makes choosing the right wall art simple and inspirational by showing each size and frame option in-situ and to scale, so you can see exactly how it will look on your wall. With over 1000 images to choose from, you’re sure to find something just right for you and your space.

    With the most experienced and skilled craftsman working from their studio in Observatory, you are guaranteed to get a premium product, at a very reasonable price.

     

    Why quality wall art is on trend

     

    Quality wall art is a great way to add personality to any room at the fraction of the cost of original artwork. Wall art is versatile and relatively affordable so you can switch things up and replace pieces when a room becomes tired or dated.

    Neutral wall tones have been the trend for the past few years and one of the go-to shades is grey. Shades of grey provide a serene, sophisticated and modern palette and easily partner with bold patterns and statement colours.

    However, neutral wall tones don’t mean room styling has become boring and clinical. Striking wall art with bold colours or stunning imagery allow interior designers and homeowners to inject character and stars status into every room.
