A first home is more than an address. It might be the front door you finally received the keys to, a small garden you made your own or the place where a new chapter began. A personalised house print lets you bring that particular home into a keepsake, using a photograph and wording you choose.
Our Personalised Home Photos - Customisable House Art asks for your image, with an optional title and second line. Here is how to choose those details for yourself or a housewarming gift. Explore the family and home keepsake collection for the wider range.
Start with the home's own photograph
Choose the property you want the gift to celebrate. That may be a newly bought home, a first rented place together or a much-loved family house. The personal meaning comes from the place itself; you do not need a grand building for it to matter.
For a new home, consider whether the photograph shows it as the recipient knows it now. A front door colour, a house sign or a familiar garden can be part of that recognition. If your chosen image shows an earlier version of the property, decide whether that is the memory you want to preserve.
The product uses the image you upload. Check that it clearly shows the home you mean, and use a photograph you have permission to provide. If a car, scaffolding or another obstruction hides something important, ask us about the image before ordering. Do not assume that unseen parts of a building can be reconstructed or that every object can be removed.
If a usable house photograph is not available, compare a different kind of place-based keepsake in our personalised map buying guide, including country-map designs.
Let the two wording lines do different jobs
The optional title can identify the home or the occasion. The current product form gives examples such as "Sunnyside House", "Our Home" and "Fresh Beginnings". The second line can supply an address or a short personal message.
| What you want to remember | Title idea | Second-line idea |
|---|---|---|
| The place itself | The house name | The address you want displayed |
| A first home together | Our Home | A short personal message about the occasion |
| A new chapter | Fresh Beginnings | A meaningful date or phrase you choose |
Those are wording ideas for the available text fields, not extra design options. Avoid using both lines to repeat the same information unless that is the look you want. Leaving an optional line blank may suit a simpler keepsake.
The current form sets the title field to a maximum of 50 characters and the second line to 200 characters. Recheck the live form when ordering. A generous limit is not a reason to fill the space: choose the words that add something to the image.
Check the details when it is a surprise gift
Use the house name or address exactly as the recipient would want to see it. Double-check spelling, spacing and any date you have chosen to enter. If you are unsure whether they would want their full address on a print, a shorter place name or personal phrase may be a better fit.
There is no need to invent a message that sounds formal. A familiar phrase can be more personal than a long housewarming quotation. Read the title and second line together before submitting them.
The image upload and email address for proofing are required. Use an email address you can monitor. If you need the gift for a moving date or celebration, contact us before ordering; the presence of a proofing field does not specify a guaranteed turnaround or revision allowance.
Choose the size for the intended space
A4, A3, A2, A1 and A0 are currently listed for this product. Measure the wall or display area, and check the opening of any existing frame or mount. The catalogue example has a landscape artwork; use the actual product details when planning your display.
This guide covers the home-photo print, rather than a separate hand-drawn-house product. Do not assume that the printed keepsake includes an original drawing. Free worldwide standard shipping is included with physical orders; see our current delivery information and returns information.
