This is the easiest way to style fine art in your home
The easiest way? Find a wall in a corner or nook of any room.
A common question I find myself fielding and answering is -
“Do I have enough room in my home for your one of your fine art pieces?”
I am delighted to say, with resounding confidence, that you do.
In fact, there is enough room on any wall for a medium-sized piece of art.
Perhaps an even bigger large format piece if your heart so truly desires.
To help ease your concerns a bit, I recently had the opportunity to stop by one of my collector’s homes here in the Los Angeles area. It was such an incredible honor to have access to his art-filled and airy Spanish Colonial Revival residence. There was definitely a teary moment when I saw Peony, my fine art photograph of a preening flamingo, fully-reframed and mounted on his formal dining room wall.

Which brings me to the point of this post, the easiest way to style fine art in your own home:
Find a corner wall, in any room. I bet you will find space that you never thought to hang art in. These spaces are usually unimpeded and are not always as trafficked, compared to a narrow hallway. It has tremendous potential and appeal, because it can help accent and enliven an entire room.
Some more ideas: It could be a wall in an entry way, a pantry nook in the kitchen, right next your bedroom vanity, or simply under a bar cart or media console in the dining room. I will refrain from writing more and let the following pictures be visual proof of what is possible.
