Photo Blankets: Create a cosy, personalised blanket featuring love quotes and photos—perfect for snuggling up together on the sofa or adding a personal touch to your bedroom.
Design Tips for Love Quote Art:
Typography Hierarchy: When designing love quote art, create visual interest through font size variation. Make keywords like "love", your names, or significant phrases larger than the surrounding text. This draws the eye and emphasises the most important parts of your message. Combine script fonts for romantic words with clean sans-serif fonts for balance.
Colour Psychology: Choose colours that evoke the emotions you want to express. Deep reds and burgundies convey passion and romance, whilst soft blushes and creams create gentle, tender feelings. Navy and gold combinations suggest sophistication and timelessness. For modern aesthetics, try black text on white backgrounds or vice versa—classic choices that never go out of style.
Personalisation Elements: Make your love quote art truly unique by incorporating personal details—your wedding date, the coordinates where you met, a meaningful location, or subtle references to shared memories. These details transform generic love quotes into deeply personal pieces that tell your specific story.
Size and Placement: For bedroom art featuring love quotes, medium to large sizes (40x60cm to 60x90cm) work best as focal points above the bed. For living rooms or hallways, consider creating a gallery wall with multiple smaller love quote pieces (20x30cm or 30x40cm) that can include quotes, photos, and word art together. Kitchen or bathroom spaces can feature smaller prints (13x18cm or 20x30cm) with lighter, more playful love quotes.
Tips for Choosing the Perfect Love Quote
With over 250 quotes to choose from, here's how to find the one that properly represents your relationship:
Consider Your Relationship Stage: New couples might prefer quotes about discovery and butterflies, whilst long-term partners might connect more with quotes about partnership and growing old together.
Match Your Partner's Personality: Does your other half appreciate deep, philosophical quotes or prefer something funny and lighthearted? Choose words that match their style.
Think About the Occasion: Anniversary cards call for different quotes than everyday texts. Match the quote's tone to the moment.
Make It Personal: The best quotes are ones you can adapt slightly to include personal references—your nicknames, inside jokes, or specific memories.
Read It Aloud: Before committing a quote to a canvas print or gift, say it out loud. Does it sound natural? Does it feel like something you'd actually say?
Trust Your Gut: If a quote makes your heart skip a bit when you read it, that's the one. Don't overthink it.

Frequently Asked Questions About Love Quotes
-
The best way to use love quotes is to make them personal and meaningful rather than just copying and pasting. Choose quotes that genuinely resonate with your feelings and your relationship. You can text them to your partner as a sweet surprise, write them in anniversary cards, include them in letters, or turn them into lasting keepsakes like canvas prints or photo books. The key is authenticity—your partner will appreciate a quote that feels genuine rather than just generic romance.
-
Think about your partner's personality and what they'd actually appreciate. If they're into deep, meaningful conversations, go for philosophical quotes about love. If they've got a good sense of humour, choose something playful or funny. Consider the occasion too—what works for a text message might not work for a canvas print you're hanging in your bedroom. Read the quote out loud and ask yourself, "Does this sound like something I'd say?" If it feels natural and makes you think of your relationship, it's probably the right one.
-
Absolutely! In fact, that's often the best approach. Take a quote you like and tweak it to include your partner's name, a nickname, or a reference to something specific in your relationship. For example, you could change "You're my favourite person" to "You're my favourite person to have Sunday roasts with" or whatever fits your relationship. You can also combine elements from different quotes or use a famous quote as inspiration to write something completely your own.
-
It depends on where you're planning to hang it. For above the bed in your bedroom, go for something substantial — 40x60cm to 60x90cm works brilliantly as a focal point. For living rooms or hallways, 30x40cm to 50x70cm gives you flexibility to create gallery walls with multiple pieces. Smaller prints (20x30cm) are perfect for bathrooms, home offices, or bedside tables. A good rule of thumb: your canvas should take up about two-thirds to three-quarters of the available wall space above furniture.
-
Not at all! The key is choosing quotes that match your relationship's vibe. Modern love quotes can be funny, philosophical, or beautifully simple without being overly sentimental. If traditional "roses are red" style quotes aren't your thing, there are loads of contemporary options that feel genuine and relatable. Think quotes about being best mates, partnership, or even funny ones about stealing chips. Love quotes work in modern relationships when they feel authentic rather than forced.
-
The secret is treating love quotes like any other art piece—choose designs that complement your existing decor rather than clash with it. Opt for clean, minimalist typography in colours that match your room's palette. Black and white designs work with virtually any style, whilst subtle colour accents can tie into your existing scheme. Consider mixing love quote prints with other artwork in a gallery wall rather than making them the only focal point.
