The US site doesn't ship internationally, so unfortunately it will be difficult buying it off Houzz as the UK site doesn't have a marketplace yet. I would try and found out who the artist/retailer is and get in touch with them via their Houzz profile or if you can locate their website. Best of luck!

Hello, This would also depend of the style of the artwork, not only personal taste. Is it contemporary, traditional? Some framed images or large scale posters may look better in thin black frame but for example if the artwork is quite plain than it looks better in thick bordered frame. Box frames are also popular. I am a designer myself and love beautiful artworks. :)

I have artwork that appeals to a predominantly male audience. I often get feedback that the lady of the house makes the art buying decisions.

I’m guessing that you’re after advice on alternative lighting if the natural daylight source is restricting. I’ve worked in a few studios and the best ones tend to have lots of angled roof windows north facing but diffused so the natural daylight was evenly spread and with the addition of fluorescent tube lights (the type you get in garages) for dark times of year. All depends on what type of creative work you’re doing as well. There are plenty of artificial light sources for specific tasks but choosing the right kind of light can be tricky, this might explain more: https://willkempartschool.com/art-studio-lighting-design/ When I used to hand mix colour dyes I had to compare samples in different lights but outside the back door (north light but in shadow) was better for truer colour match.

Great advice above from Rachel- light is important- also consider storage. Many artists use a trolley for tools/materials - also consider wall storage/shelving. A small comfortable chair for reading is another nice touch ! Hope this helps-
