Step inside this airy, art-filled home
Neutral layers and an abundance of light make this space the perfect backdrop for displaying art and objects.
When less is more
Used sparingly on a neutral background, pops of vibrant color make a splashy, sophisticated statement.
Behind the location
Our latest collection brings new life to a 1910 charmer in Brooklyn’s Ditmas Park historic district. Modern furnishings feel fresh against original moldings, stained glass and intricate wrought iron detailing.
The collector’s eye
Corners of this colonial feature gallery-inspired moments—from artfully reimaging built-ins (they’re for more than just books!) to elevated objects on pedestals. Tap into your curatorial side by displaying collections of everyday items like ceramics and coffee table books in interesting or unexpected ways, and mix it up when the mood strikes.
The art of display
We asked The Poster Club—a Copenhagan-based marketplace for posters and prints—how to arrange and layer artwork in a way that celebrates all your favorite pieces without creating clutter.
Start with a mood board.
Themes, colors and styles can be mixed indefinitely, but keeping one common thread throughout your pieces helps your collection feel cohesive. Whether it’s a subtle pop of color like a blush tone or delicate lines and organic shapes, map yours out on Pinterest or Instagram.
Consider spacing.
Remember to take the distance between each artwork into account. Whether you’re layering prints on the floor or a photo ledge or hanging a gallery wall, negative space affects how each piece of art breathes and stands out separately as well as being a part of a whole.
Keep it eye level.
When hanging art, the center of your piece should be at average human eye-height, approximately 4.9 feet from the floor. (This is generally considered standard in galleries and museums.) Using 4.9” mark as a visual midline throughout your home will create a sense of balance.
A pared-back palette
There’s such a thing as stimulation overload, but a neutral palette creates a calming foundation. Here, earthy tones and textures support a relaxed work space.
Everyday inspiration
Making room for creativity means making space for art itself. Keep what delights or intrigues you in sight—the more mediums, the better. Think homemade art, graphic rugs, paintings and tactile ceramics.
On the bright side
They’re called “bright ideas” for a reason—sun-soaked spaces keep you energized and inspired. This home’s large windows are a focal point to each room’s layout. Airy Scandinavian-inspired silhouettes and pops of white—from upholstery to vases to lampshades—accentuate that feeling of lightness.
