Avoid Direct Sunlight<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nDirect light exposure will fade art and cause it to become brittle, so keep your prized pieces out of the sun’s rays. Check your interior light sources<\/a> by placing your hand in front of the art \u2014 if you can feel heat, it’s too close. <\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"avoid](\"https:\/\/www.lovehappensmag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/drapesse-chair-yasmine-side-table-koket-projects.jpg\")
<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\nIf you can’t avoid exposing your pieces to the sun, invest in plexiglass or museum glass to protect paintings and photos. You can also place a protective film over your windows to lessen the amount of light coming in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Choose Dramatic Frames<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nInvest in a frame that fits so well it becomes one with the artwork. A suitable frame is the perfect companion to any painting or photo and can enhance its artistic value. Go for a golden, ornate appearance or keep it streamlined with a black or white border. A collection of grayscale photo prints goes well with black framing, while watercolor and oil pieces look amazing next to wooden borders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"pick](\"https:\/\/www.lovehappensmag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/reptilian-floor-lamp-koket-projects.jpg\")
<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\nImplement mat boards when showcasing your artwork. These allow variability when selecting sizes, and they give the piece a breathable border rather than letting it fill the entire frame. They also serve as an extra layer of protection<\/a> between the glazing and paper. Explore different framing techniques within the same area of your home for diversity.<\/p>\n\n\n\nProtect Your Art During Transport<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nWhether you’re moving art into or out of a space, you should transport it with care. Use bubble wrap to keep pieces intact and layer them with glassine to prevent scratches. You can also take your art out of its frame and wrap it in glassine if you’d rather not transport it within its framework.
Store sculptures in boxes large enough to fit the entire form with the lid closed \u2014 you don’t want any cracking or damage. Wear gloves and other protective materials to avoid smudging or debris collection. Human skin contains oils and dirt that destroys the surfaces of paintings and sculptures.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Avoid cheap materials like newspaper or packing peanuts, which can stick to your art when exposed to condensation<\/a>. Packing peanuts get crumpled down during transportation, which can make them less effective at cushioning your pieces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n\n\nKeep Temperatures Stable<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nYour home should ideally be 20 to 23 degrees Celsius. High temperatures can melt varnish or paint and allow debris to stick to the surface more easily. Low temperatures cause brittleness and cracking, especially when you move the piece. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Manage your humidity levels, as high moisture can cause rust on metal sculptures and mold growth on paintings. The ideal level is 50% \u2014 avoid going above or below this number. Low moisture, like low temperatures, causes pieces to dry out. Invest in a gauge \u2014 such as a hygrothermograph \u2014 and a dehumidifier to maintain the appropriate levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hang Art on a Centerline<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nHang your artwork on a centerline of 144 to 152 cm<\/a> \u2014 the center of the piece should be at least 144 centimeters from the floor. This height puts it at the eye level of the viewer, making it easy to see without strain. Don’t be hesitant about hiring an art handler to situate your piece if you’d rather not do it yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"koket](\"https:\/\/www.lovehappensmag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/trinity-chandelier-denise-chair-kelly-sofa-tears-cocktail-table-koket-projects.jpg\")
<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\nMake accommodations for surrounding furniture to ensure you get the optimal perception of your artwork. If you hang a piece above a sofa or chaise<\/a>, establish 16 to 20 centimeters of space between them. You don’t want to spend time putting up art only to find out it’s uncentered, too low or too high. Avoid displaying art in areas where it can be obscured from various angles.<\/p>\n\n\n\nCreate an Artist Series<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nWhen buying multiple pieces from the same artist, create a series by grouping them. Avoid placing them so close together that they can’t breathe, but don’t scatter them over the entirety of the wall space. Whichever way you display them should demonstrate cohesion \u2014 this shows attention to detail and an eye for design. <\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"koket](\"https:\/\/www.lovehappensmag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/ribbon-console-koket-projects-700x1024.jpg\")

Mix Modernity With Tradition<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nWhen you’re stuck on whether you should opt for modern pieces or traditional styles, combine the two.
