A Guide to Viking Wall Art
The right piece on the wall sets the whole mood of a room. Viking wall art brings the drama of the sagas, gods, beasts, longships and battle, into your home as a bold focal point. Here is how to choose the right piece and hang it well.
Types of wall art
- Canvas prints. Artwork printed on stretched or rolled canvas for a framed, gallery-style finish.
- Tapestries. Larger fabric hangings that cover more wall and add texture and warmth.
- Multi-panel sets. A single scene split across several canvases for a striking, oversized display.
Materials
Most pieces are printed on quality canvas or soft fabric made for hanging. Canvas suits framed, focal-point displays, while fabric tapestries are lightweight, easy to hang and simple to take down and store. Each product page lists the format and available sizes so you can plan your space.
Designs and their meaning
Wall art spans the great Norse subjects: Odin, Thor and the gods; the wolf Fenrir; ravens; Yggdrasil the world tree; and longships at sea. To go deeper on the wolf that appears in so much of this art, read about Fenrir, the lord of the wolves, or browse the full Norse symbols guide.
How to choose and hang
Measure your wall first and leave breathing room around the piece. Larger canvases and tapestries suit a bare feature wall, while smaller prints group well in a cluster. Pair your art with matching pieces from our Viking home decor range to tie the room together.
