AuraLine™ works best on a stable indoor surface where the engraved photo can be seen clearly by day and illuminated in the evening. Good display locations include a bedside table, living room shelf, sideboard, desk, hallway console or a quiet family-memory corner. It makes the right gift when the chosen photo already carries personal meaning: an anniversary, wedding, family moment, pet portrait, birthday or remembrance.
AuraLine™ is AtaNova’s personalised photo line art lamp. A customer’s photo is transformed into clean line art, laser-engraved on clear acrylic and placed in an oval solid wood USB-powered LED base. The finished lamp is approximately 14.5 cm wide and 22 cm high, making it compact enough for everyday surfaces while still giving the photograph a visible place in the room.

Where is the best place to display AuraLine™?
The best location is a stable, dry indoor surface with enough open space around the acrylic panel. The lamp should be easy to see without sitting where it is likely to be knocked, bent or handled frequently.
On a bedside table
A bedside table suits a couple portrait, wedding photo, family image or memorial photograph. The lamp stays close to the person receiving it and becomes part of a calm evening setting rather than general room lighting.
On a living room shelf or sideboard
This is a strong choice for family photographs, couple portraits and housewarming gifts. Place AuraLine™ among a small number of meaningful objects so the engraved line art remains easy to recognise rather than disappearing into a crowded display.
On a desk or home-office shelf
A desk placement works well for a photograph of a partner, child, family member or pet. The compact freestanding format gives a personal image a permanent place without taking over the workspace.
On a hallway console
A hallway console turns the lamp into a personal welcome point. Couple photographs, family portraits and images connected to a first home are especially suitable here because they introduce the people and story behind the household.
In a family or remembrance corner
A quiet shelf or console can hold a photo of a loved one or pet as a respectful remembrance piece. Choose a position where the lamp can remain stable and where the photograph can be viewed without being surrounded by too many competing objects.
How to choose the right position in the room
- Allow enough space: AuraLine™ is approximately 14.5 cm wide and 22 cm high, including the wooden base.
- Use a stable surface: the acrylic panel should not sit where it can be pushed, bent or knocked over.
- Keep the background calm: a simple wall or uncluttered shelf helps the engraved portrait remain readable.
- Plan for USB power: the LED base is USB powered, so choose a location that works with the cable without creating tension or clutter.
- Keep it dry: AuraLine™ is an indoor decorative lamp and should be kept away from moisture and extreme heat.
- Place it where the memory belongs: the best display point is usually connected to the people, pet or moment shown in the photograph.
Which light option suits the display location?
AuraLine™ is available with 3-Color Light or RGB. The engraved artwork is created in the same way; the difference is the lighting experience around it.
Choose 3-Color Light for a calm, classic display
Three preset lighting colours suit bedside tables, living room shelves, sideboards and remembrance displays where the lamp should feel quiet and easy to combine with the room.
Choose RGB for a more changeable atmosphere
RGB offers a broader colour-changing range. It suits desks, entertainment spaces and rooms where the recipient enjoys changing the mood or matching the light to different surroundings.
When does AuraLine™ make the right gift?
A personalised photo lamp is most effective when the recipient immediately understands why that particular image was chosen. AuraLine™ is not simply a lamp with a name added to it; the main design begins with a real photograph from the recipient’s life.
Anniversary gift for a partner or couple
Use a favourite couple portrait, engagement photograph, wedding image or an everyday moment that represents the relationship. A short name, date or message can be added to the wooden base where selected.
Wedding or engagement gift
AuraLine™ works well when you have a clear photograph of the couple, such as an engagement portrait, pre-wedding image or wedding photograph. It is especially suitable when the gift should remain on display after the celebration rather than being used only on the day.
Gift for parents or grandparents
A child’s portrait, sibling photograph or family image gives parents and grandparents something personal they can keep visible at home. This works particularly well when the chosen photograph represents a relationship they value every day.
Birthday gift for someone close
For a partner, parent, grandparent or close friend, choose a photograph with a clear shared story. The gift feels strongest when the image would not have the same meaning for anyone else.
Housewarming gift
A couple or family photograph can connect the gift directly to the new home. AuraLine™ is a good housewarming choice when you want to give personalised decor rather than a generic household item.
Pet portrait or memorial gift
A clear pet portrait can become an everyday keepsake or a respectful remembrance gift. The face, profile or characteristic pose should be recognisable, and any optional wording should remain short and personal.
When may another gift be a better choice?
AuraLine™ is the right choice when a meaningful photograph is central to the gift and the recipient has a suitable indoor surface for a freestanding lamp. Another product may fit better when there is no usable personal photo, when the recipient specifically wants wall-mounted decor, or when the gift should represent a date and location rather than an image.

How personalisation supports the gift meaning
The uploaded photo remains the main source of the design. Where selected on the product page, a short name, date or message can be engraved on the wooden base. Useful options include:
- the couple’s names and anniversary date;
- a child’s name or a short family phrase;
- a pet’s name and remembrance date;
- a short housewarming message;
- a brief line connected to the photograph.
Short wording keeps the base clear and allows the engraved portrait to remain the visual focus. Check all names, dates and spelling carefully during the Design Proof stage.
What happens after you order?
- Upload one clear personal photo and choose 3-Color Light or RGB.
- Add an optional short name, date or message where selected.
- AtaNova prepares the line art and sends a digital Design Proof by email before engraving.
- You approve the design or reply with a small adjustment request.
- The approved design is laser-engraved on clear acrylic and assembled with the solid wood LED base in our Antwerp atelier.
- Your made-to-order AuraLine™ is delivered within 3–5 business days from the order date.

Choose a place for the memory, not only for the lamp
The most successful AuraLine™ display is not necessarily the largest or darkest area in the room. It is the place where the photograph makes sense: beside the person who receives it, among family objects in the living room, near a workspace, or in a quiet corner dedicated to someone important.
When the image, recipient and display location belong to the same story, AuraLine™ becomes both personalised home decor and a gift made for one specific person or household.
