House portraits

A house portrait is the classic housewarming and moving-day gift. Six styles start from a straight-on photo of the front of a home: an oil painting, a watercolor, an architectural ink sketch, a storybook cottage, a golden-hour garden and a snowy holiday night.

How it works

  1. Pick a style

  2. Add one daytime front photo

  3. Choose season, sky and surroundings

The best photo of a house

  • A clear daytime photo of the front, taken straight on.
  • The whole building in the frame, with a little space around the roof line.
  • Remove parked cars and bins if you can. They get painted in.

Frequently asked questions

Can I make a house portrait from my phone photo?

Yes. Stand across the street, face the front of the house and keep the phone level. Daylight is best.

Will every detail of my home be kept?

Small architectural details may change. Compare the result with your photo before you print.

Can I use a photo of someone else's house?

Use your own home or one you have permission to use.
