We have some bonkers stuff around - cameraless photos of mushrooms by the very talented Susan Derges. Jason Martin's painting on aluminium. The spectators triptych - I've always refused to sleep in that guest bedroom because of the creepy feeling that they would be staring at me all night. Some scary Kabuki prints (they really scare me!! I told him we are divorcing if those prints leave his office): And many more (iSAW, you are to blame for encouraging me to post photos... I just love posting photos...) :))

Consider the environment of the art Different rooms will speak to you in different ways, and the art will reflect this. You also need to be practical: save an unprotected painting for a reception room and choose a framed print or photograph for the kitchen, safe behind glass! Hang it with care Use soft gloves and use sturdy nails and make sure the hanging mechanism can take the weight of the piece. When hanging a single piece on a wall the centre of the picture should be about 60 inches off the ground, which places it at eye level. Give it the light it deserves Natural light will always show off an art-piece the best but correctly chosen artificial lighting can make a big difference too. Challenge your comfort zone Art does not have to colour match your interior! Contrast and juxtaposition can enhance the room and make the piece sing, otherwise it could just blend into the space and 'disappear'. Go big! Large pieces look fantastic on the wall and can even work in smaller rooms too as long as they aren't too overwhelming. Create a personal gallery You can turn your wall space into a collection of personal items, such as photographs and memorabilia - and don't be afraid to mix different artistic mediums. Swap your pieces around It is amazing how different an art-piece can look in a different room setting. Take the piece that was in your bedroom and try it in your living room. Play curator in your home. Tell the world about your new art purchase People should be inspired to buy art! The more art we buy, the more artists can make a successful living. Tell your friends, family, post on social media, scream it from the roof tops if you want... Contact the artist Tell the artist how the piece makes your heart sing. You will be surprised how seldom this happens, but what a difference this makes to an artist. You will make their day.

Lovely space! Good job!

Photo was taken late at night. There is rooms off the landing but when all doors are closed it can appear dark. The photos is coming out really yellow for some reason. It’s the wall art that I’m really seeking advice. What can I change that for ??
