Living With Art is the ultimate guide to bringing art into your home. This comprehensive book covers everything from choosing the right artwork to displaying it in a way that complements your space. Whether you're a first-time art collector or a seasoned pro, Living With Art has something for you.

Chapter 1: Choosing the Right Artwork

The first step to living with art is choosing the right artwork. This can be a daunting task, but it's important to take your time and find pieces that you truly love. Consider your personal taste, your home decor, and the overall mood you want to create in your space.

There are a few things to keep in mind when choosing artwork:

Size: The size of the artwork should be proportional to the size of the space. A large painting will overwhelm a small room, while a small painting will get lost in a large room.
Color: The colors in the artwork should complement the colors in your home decor. If you have a neutral color scheme, you can add a pop of color with a bold painting. If you have a colorful room, you may want to choose a painting with more muted colors.
Style: The style of the artwork should match the style of your home decor. If you have a traditional home, you may want to choose a painting with a classic style. If you have a modern home, you may want to choose a painting with a more contemporary style.

Chapter 2: Displaying Your Artwork

Once you've chosen the right artwork, it's important to display it in a way that complements your space. There are a few different ways to display artwork, including:

On the wall: This is the most common way to display artwork. When hanging artwork on the wall, make sure to hang it at eye level. You can also create a gallery wall by hanging several pieces of artwork together.
On a shelf: This is a great way to display small pieces of artwork. You can place artwork on a shelf in your living room, bedroom, or office.
On a table: This is a good way to display large pieces of artwork. You can place artwork on a table in your entryway, dining room, or living room.

Chapter 3: Caring for Your Artwork

Once you've displayed your artwork, it's important to take care of it so that it lasts for years to come. Here are a few tips for caring for your artwork:

Keep it away from direct sunlight: Direct sunlight can damage artwork over time. Hang artwork in a place where it won't be exposed to direct sunlight.
Dust it regularly: Dust can accumulate on artwork over time. Dust artwork regularly with a soft cloth.
Clean it carefully: If artwork gets dirty, clean it carefully with a mild soap and water solution. Avoid using harsh chemicals or detergents.

Living with art is a wonderful way to add beauty, personality, and inspiration to your home. By following the tips in this book, you can choose and display artwork that perfectly complements your space.
