Looking for some fresh ways to think about art in your home? Browse some fun ideas here from house beautiful.com:
1. Wall Size Art:
A fantastical, wall-size painting by Kati Heck titled Spring Cleaning hangs opposite the fireplace in the living room of a country house in Kerhonkson, NY. “I like how the Directoire daybed establishes a foreground and leads you into the scene,” says designer Brian McCarthy.
2. Double Frame:
A Dora Frost painting above the postmodern Russian dresser in the “decorator” guest room of a Southampton, New York, house designed by Ann Pyne is fittingly titled Elsie de Wolfe.
3. Framed & Unframed:
In a Manhattan apartment designed by Alexander Doherty, two 19th-century drawings of Florence join an unframed Evelyn Page portrait above the master bedroom’s midcentury bureau.
4. On a Bookshelf:
A portrait of conductor Leopold Stokowski and a figure study are focal points on the library bookshelf of Alex Hitz’s Los Angeles house.
5. Overlapping:
In the living room of a Bahamas island house, designer Amanda Lindroth’s open and casual attitude emanates partly from the leaning and overlapping pictures.
6. Shutters:
Silhouettes hang from dining room shutters covered in Isaac Mizrahi’s Glow Stripe in designer Kelee Katillac’s 1915 Kansas City apartment.
7. Matching Mats:
In the bedroom of Kelee Katillac’s Kansas City apartment, the mats on the Piranesi Grand Tour engravings and framed fabric behind the bed are the same silk blend as the curtains, Sophia, from Katillac’s Couture Collection. The Greek key trim is custom-embroidered.
8. Kids’ Artwork:
Children’s art projects are given the artist treatment with frames in this Park Avenue apartment’s kitchen. “I thought the apartment should reflect the fact that it’s for a young, modern family with three children and a broad, cosmopolitan view of the world,” says designer Eric Cohler. A David Weeks lighting fixture animates the corner.
