4 ways to display small artwork like a pro

Most of my recent artwork from the latest art challenge collection is small but mighty. I decided to offer them for the holidays because they are perfectly giftable. They can bring so much delight and make your celebration extra special this year.

Small artwork is a joy to have around your home, shining with their own personality. I'm a big fan of filling my home with fine art, and I love it when they can add vibrance to a corner, transforming that awkward empty space into a happy nook.

Here are a few of my favorite ideas on how you can display them at your home:

1. Fill a narrow wall or awkward space

Some tight wall areas could use a visual boost. For example, the right piece of art can make a nook wall or limited space between two doors or windows very appealing.

2. Showcase a shelf

Small artwork is an opportunity to rearrange and refresh bookshelves.

3. Lean it against a wall or backsplash

Art in the kitchen or bathroom can add a finished look in a surprising way.

4. Create a gallery wall

Chances are that the small artwork you just acquired complements your collection. For example, consider a set of paintings, prints, or photographs that tie together well — perhaps a similar theme, colors, or framing.

I spoke with interior designer and Youtuber Sommer Mark, who gave the perfect tip of how you can incorporate objects and art into your gallery wall:

"Displaying works of art in your home is a fun way to personalize your space! I always suggest creating a gallery wall for my design clients. A gallery wall is perfect for mixing small works of art with photos and objects. It should show off a little bit of your personality, who you are, and what you enjoy. It should make you smile every time you look at it."
