We all want beautiful art in our home. Interesting art to decorate our walls, art that inspires us, art we can share with our family and visiting friends…

…but sometimes it can be hard to know where to start. You want something up on your walls, but you’re not sure if you can afford “fine art” or “original art” or even something beyond the pre-framed art you find in the big box stores.

You are not alone.

This is a dilemma I find a lot of my clients struggling with in their homes. To help them, I created a set of guidelines to help them look for and choose art with more confidence. I wrote a post on the blog explaining my easy rules, which you can read right here:
