Preserving Pressed Flower Art in Homes with Humidity or Damp

If you live in a damp or humid home, you might be wondering whether pressed flower art is a good fit for your space. Moisture in the air can potentially cause discolouration or, in rare cases, mould. But don’t worry. Most of our customers, even those living in older houses haven’t had issues when they follow these steps.

1. Choose the right spot
Try to hang your piece in a space that stays fairly dry and has decent airflow. Avoid spots like bathrooms, kitchens, or anywhere near radiators or open windows. Think living rooms, bedrooms, or hallways that don’t get too much direct sun or steam.

2. Keep it framed behind glass
At SIÓG, all our artwork is sealed behind high-quality glass, which acts like a protective barrier against moisture and dust. If your home tends to get damp, let us know, we can offer extra-sealed backing to give your piece even more protection.

3. Add a dehumidifier or moisture absorber
Small dehumidifiers, or even simple silica gel sachets (like the ones used in wardrobes and shoe boxes), can help regulate moisture in the air. Pop one discreetly near your frame, especially in the winter months or if your home tends to feel stuffy.

4. Keep an eye on it
It’s a good idea to check in on your piece now and then, especially in the first few months. If you ever notice any fogging inside the glass or early signs of mould (which is very rare), just get in touch and we’ll talk you through what to do next.
