How to Style Art in Your Home
Our interior designers at Studio Miaki have come together to share some invaluable tips on how to infuse art into your living space and create an inspiring and timeless interior.
Art transcends boundaries and brings a unique personal touch to your home. While there are no strict rules in the world of art, we've curated some key principles to guide you in achieving a cohesive, and timeless look.
Start with Emotions
Art is all about evoking emotions. Whether it's a painting, sculpture, or photograph, choose pieces that resonate with your feelings and experiences. Your art should tell your story.

Early Art Integration
Consider art from the early stages of home design. Think about how your existing art pieces can become a part of the interior you want to create.

Mixing Styles
Don't be afraid to mix and match different styles, textures, materials, and sizes. Embrace the beauty of diversity and create a layered visual narrative.

The Power of Framing
Framing is as crucial as choosing the art itself. Invest in high-quality frames and matting that not only protect your art but also enhance its overall aesthetic.

Creating Gallery Walls
Play with the idea of gallery walls. Arrange a collection of artworks in a fun and dynamic collage, mixing sizes, styles, and colours to craft a unique visual tapestry.

Focus on the Art
When arranging your art, choose a focal point or a large-scale artwork that stands alone. This approach mimics the feeling of visiting a gallery, where art takes center stage.

Illuminate Your Art
Pay attention to lighting. Properly illuminating your art is just as important as selecting it. Consider ceiling-mounted accent lights, spotlights, track lights, or picture lights to create a dramatic effect.

Balance & Symmetry
Carefully select art sizes based on furniture and visual weight. Ensure an even distribution to achieve a harmonious overall look.

Or Play with Asymmetry
Don't shy away from experimenting with asymmetry. Think of your walls as a canvas for creative proportions.
