How Our House Print works

Every product starts with a photo of the house. Upload a clear, straight-on photo of the front of the house in good daylight. We use AI to restyle the photo into your chosen illustration style (line art, watercolour, or ink) or keep it as a photorealistic illustration if you prefer. We review every illustration before it goes to print; if anything looks off, we contact you first.

Once approved, the illustration is printed on the product you chose and dispatched. Prints and flat products take 1–3 working days to produce and 2–5 days to deliver. Framed prints and canvases take 3–5 working days to produce. Free UK delivery on every order.

New home gifts by budget

Three illustration styles (which is right for the house

Line art is the most versatile style) clean black lines on white paper, architectural and contemporary. Works for any property type from new-build to Victorian terrace. The most popular style across all our products.

Watercolour suits period properties, cottages, and homes with character (soft colour washes that bring out brickwork, render, and garden planting. The warmest and most impressionistic of the three styles. Ink is bold and graphic) high contrast, strong lines, particularly striking for townhouses and properties with distinctive architectural features.

Why does a print of her home work?

Because most "for her" gifts are guesses at her taste: and a wrong guess on décor is easy to make. A portrait of her front door, her bay window, the porch she saved hard for, sidesteps that entirely. It's about the house she chose rather than the colours you think she likes. It's the one piece on the gift table that couldn't have been bought for anyone else, which is why it gets kept.

It also does two jobs in one. On the wall it's sentimental, proof someone marked her milestone. Practically, it fills a blank space she'd otherwise have to sort herself, which after a move is a small mercy. Few gifts manage both at once.

How do you choose a style that suits her?

Match the style to her room, not to your own taste. If she has a strong sense of décor, the line-drawing style is the safe bet: it sits quietly in any room and any palette. If you've seen her place and it's full of colour and texture, watercolour suits it. Ink illustration leans a little more dramatic for a bolder room. Send a clear daytime photo of the front of the house, pick the style and size, and we handle the rest. The wider new home gifts range puts the same idea on canvas, a mug or a card.

Thoughtful gifts under £30

You don't need to spend much to land something she'll genuinely like. Keep it personal or properly well-made, not a scattering of small bits.

The quotable rule for this budget: one good thing beats three cheap things. A single considered gift reads as "I thought about you." Three near-the-till bits read as exactly what they were.

The £30–£70.99 sweet spot

This is where most "for her" budgets land, and where the framed house print sits comfortably. A framed A3 or A2 print feels like a proper present without overdoing it. Other strong options: a wool throw, a set of good glassware, a houseplant in a pot worth keeping, or a smart piece of homeware she'd never quite justify buying herself.

If you're torn between two ideas at this price, pick the one she can't buy for herself. She can pop out for a candle. She can't make a portrait of her own front door appear, framed, on her doormat.

Generous gifts over £70.99

For a close friend, a sister, a mum or a daughter, you can go bigger. A large framed print or a canvas of her house makes a real statement above a sofa or in a hallway: and because it's of her own home, it never clashes with her scheme. A 50×70cm canvas of her house becomes the focal point of a room and is hard to beat, especially if a group's clubbing together to split the cost.

Gifts for her first home

Her very first place is the most emotional move there is, and a keepsake matters more here than at any later one. A print of the first home she ever owned is the kind of thing that moves house with her for decades. We've gathered the strongest options in our first home gifts range, with a fuller write-up in the first home gift ideas guide.

Sentimental vs practical: how do you read her?

If she's hard to read, lean sentimental. A useful gift she doesn't love can feel like a chore, but a personal one almost always lands. Sentimental gifts say "I thought about you"; practical gifts say "I thought about your life." A framed illustration of her house quietly does both: sentimental on the wall, practical in that it fills a wall she'd otherwise sort herself. If she's pragmatic to the core, a beautifully made practical item beats a keepsake she didn't ask for.

If she's still mid-move

A gift that eases the chaos earns its keep (a good doormat, a smart set of storage baskets, a proper toolkit) paired with one personal touch so it isn't purely functional. Our moving house gifts page leans into that in-between moment.

Unique options worth a look

If you want something that stands out for the right reasons rather than a novelty for its own sake, our unique housewarming gifts guide rounds up the ideas that feel original without tipping into naff: most of them personal to her in some way.

When should you order to be sure it arrives?

Order early in the week for a weekend housewarming. We make everything to order and dispatch in 2–4 working days on a tracked service. Running late? A card with the house illustration plus a handwritten note works on the day, with the framed print following on.

What's a good gift for a woman who says she wants nothing?

Give her something she'd never buy herself. The "I don't need anything" reply usually means she won't spend on a treat, not that she'd turn one down. That's exactly the gap a personal gift fills. She won't order a framed portrait of her own front door: but she'll love receiving one, because it's the indulgence she'd never have justified.

The same logic covers a really good candle, a soft throw, or a single piece of homeware that's a notch above what she'd pick for herself. The phrase "I want nothing" is an invitation to choose well on her behalf, not a wall.

Making the gift land on the day

Presentation does a lot of quiet work. A framed print needs no wrapping fuss: it arrives ready to hang, so she can put it up the same afternoon and the gift earns its place immediately. If you're posting it rather than handing it over, slip a card inside so there's a human voice attached, not just a parcel on the doormat.

If you're bringing it in person, a short, specific line as you give it does more than any bow. Tell her why you chose it, that you wanted her to have something of the home she worked so hard for. The reason is the gift; the object just makes it last.

What's the best new home gift for her?+

A personalised print of her new home: it's the one gift that couldn't have been bought for anyone else, and it sidesteps the risk of guessing her décor wrong, because it's about the house she chose rather than the colours you think she likes.

How much should you spend on a new home gift for her?+

£30–£70.99 covers most situations comfortably. Spend less for a colleague or acquaintance, more for a close friend, sister, mum or a joint group gift. The amount matters far less than whether the gift feels chosen for her.

What if I don't know her taste in décor?+

Choose the line-drawing style of a house print: it sits quietly in any room and any palette, so you don't have to guess her colours. Failing that, a personalised card with a warm note plus a single well-made item is a safe, thoughtful combination.
