Whether it’s a gallery of family photos or a curated collection of prints, paintings, and photographs, they suddenly become more impactful in their grouping, and it makes for a great art feature in your space.

3. Art In The Bathroom

4. Fireplace + Mantle Artwork
Above the fireplace or on top of the mantle makes for a great resting place for your favorite artwork. Go bold with a singular piece or layer in a few smaller pieces. Architecturally speaking, the fireplace often owns the room as the focal point so why not contribute to its grandeur with your some of your best work.
