1. Art doesn’t have to be hung on the wall.It can be propped on a ledgeor sink counter while still having that polished look. Another perk is the ability to switch out pieces easilyor shuffle the order of placement without worrying about nail holes.

2. It's OK to mixand matchdifferent genres of art.Displaying photography, for instance, alongside or in the same room as an oil painting can still work well.

3. Usematting in framed art that matches the dominant color in the room.This can be done to match the color of cabinets, a couch, or whatever color pops in a room.
