Click through to see how to make good selections you’ll love for years to come, how to consider composition, and tricks for installations & pairings that look timeless and designerly.
Choose Artwork That Resonates
Setup Your Workspace
I do believe that artwork should speak to you, resonate in some way, align with your aesthetic, or simply make you happy.
Presentation is Important
Depending on what the medium is, always make sure your art is being presented in a thoughtful way.
Think About Scale
One of my favorite tricks for displaying a tiny painting is to frame it with an extra large mat for tons of negative space.
Get Creative
Don’t just think of art as 2D pieces you hang on the wall- consider sculptural works, framed textiles, shadow boxes for objects, displayed collections, etc.
Consider Composition
Allow a piece to stand alone on a wall, or pair it with other works- like a gallery wall setting, stacked, or in a pairing.
