Home Styling Tips:
Incorporating Fine Art into your space

Position a substantial floral painting or a commanding portrait above a central piece of furniture, such as a sofa, mantel, or bed. This draws the eye and sets the tone for the entire room. Ensure that the surrounding decor complements the colors and themes in the artwork, creating a cohesive look.

Instead of hanging art alone, layer it with decor such as mirrors, wall sconces, or shelves. This technique works particularly well in a gallery wall setting or on a large, open wall where you can mix different textures and elements.

Example: Create a vignette in an entryway by layering a portrait painting with a mirror and a small shelf beneath it, topped with a vase of fresh flowers that ties in with the colors of the portrait.

Install picture lights above your paintings or use strategically placed spotlights to illuminate the artwork. The right lighting can highlight the textures, colors, and details of your paintings, making them the star of the room.

Example: In a dining room, a warm-toned picture light above a floral still life can create a cozy, inviting atmosphere, perfect for evening gatherings. In a hallway, spotlights can accentuate a series of portrait paintings, creating a gallery-like effect.

The frame is an extension of the artwork and can significantly influence how it fits into the room.
For example: A classic, detailed portrait in a gold-leaf frame can add a touch of luxury to a traditional living room, while a simple black or white frame can make a floral painting feel fresh and contemporary in a modern home.

Bring the outside in by pairing floral paintings with fresh flowers, potted plants, or botanical prints. This creates a sense of continuity between the art and the natural world, enhancing the peaceful, organic feel of your space.

Example: In a dining room, place a large floral painting on one wall, and adorn the table with a fresh flower arrangement that mirrors the colors and types of flowers in the painting. This creates a cohesive and serene dining experience
