Exactly the video I needed, thank you! For example, I've been trying to do the assymetrical thing so your tips about it are super useful. I might also try the large frame with a tiny image idea, and also mix and match frames. Fun fun fun!
Going back to the off-kilter look. Picture off-center in the kitchen. I like it. Also, cool idea with picture being hung on the bookcase. Unexpected.. Love that too.
Love your videos. Precise and to the point. Easy to apply no matter what the budget. I am an artist so here is my advise about matting and framing : Oils and Acrylics on canvas do not have to be Matted or Framed ( although fa frame around the canvas is quite fine.) because the work is permanent after it dries. Watercolors , pencil , reproductions/ prints , photos etc are not so permanent. They need to be matted and framed. Its not just for looks. The mat acts as a buffer between the image and the glass. Therefor moisture in the air will not ruin you art or cause it to buckle. Especially in the Kitchen and Bathroom. Just a rule of thumb - Artwork/ Photos should not touch the glass .
I’m a minimalist, so displaying art is vitally important to warm up a room. I purchase prints of art I love, like John Singer Sargent’s “Lady Agnew of Lochnaw” and “Fumée d'ambre gris”, get them as canvas rather than posters, and frame them appropriately. I usually go to Michael’s when their frames are 70-80% off. For $180 ($80 for the canvas print, $100 for the frame), I have a gorgeous piece of art to enjoy.
Thank you! I took a certification program for interior decorating, but this wasn't discussed and quite informative! Makes me want to take down my pictures and start over some. LOL
Olga.. Not only are your ideas fab... You look so pretty.. In this video.. Nd i love your openness about usng our own.. Ideas in our space Concept rocks.. Thx Olga for that little changes.. Which make us Style our own space in Special ways..
You're really shining lately! You pick amazing examples and don't just gloss over them. (It doesn't hurt that my style seems to match yours--I don't think there's a single photo I wouldn't have picked and would stop to study.) Well done, keep it up! Love the mild music, your enunciation, and the restraint in editing. You're very watchable AND know your stuff. You have much to offer... I'm going to go back and make sure I haven't missed watching and liking your previous content. Please keep teaching us principles, and please resist following the latest trendy topics others seem to all jump on. We need TIMELESS info on design principles! p.s. Where in Canada are you based?
Just found your channel - impressive and so applicable to us average gals who desperately need guidance we can understand and apply to our homes. Where have you been? BLESSED to have found you... Will be studying your videos and may be contacting you for a consultation! You have a relaxing and inviting manner, and make me feel empowered!
I loved the video and I agree with all the tips apart from tip #1. Crafts, designs or objects we happen to love are not real art. I love homes where people display real/original art expressing feelings emotions and ideas, telling the story of the tenents. I don't know how to explain it better, English is not my language. It doesn't need to be expensive pieces or the artist to be famous. There are so many young artists from around the globe on the internet.
Thank you for this video! Great tips as usual. I'm looking for a design lesson....Spindles! What works with what design style? Horizontal isn't to code although I like the look and it's pretty trendy We can't decide on glass or iron or even in Iron which look would go with the rest of the house. And I like wood but I've been told wood is.....out
When you hang art in a bedroom on a bare wall do you center on the wall without consideration to the furniture on the side wall. In my case the bed with a night table are on one wall. So do you center from the front of the night stand and the corner or just on the bare wall?
Hi Olga. I recently found you and have subscribed for your videos. I really like your clear, straightforward approach, and that you provide lots of education and suggestions!!! In this video on Styling Your Home With Art, I particularly liked the section on placing art in unexpected places. There is something fresh about that. Just to add to your great ideas, I have a canvas on a door at the end of a short hall and also in my laundry room to hide the ugly water taps on the wall above the washer. ... I am also thinking of placing 2 small arts on the wall just above my dog's water and food bowls. How crazy is that? :)
Great content.. I will be in cooperating some of those styles. Just painted my house and was waiting for this video aha to help me with my wall displays. Thanks
I would like to display pictures of the kids and grandkids in my hallway. Can I use a picture ledge? How wide does the hallway need to be in order to use it as a gallery?
Love the video so much.I have a very small empty wall and love the idea of small table with vase and a hanging piece of art.I also have a big wall over the sofa and want to hang 2 floating shelves.What are the rules.Thank you
I have so many different artworks, mainly relativly large pieces in differen sizes, some are original, some not. But all have quite classic but different frames. I find it very hard to group those art works on one wall ... any tipps? Thank you
In your professional experience, what do you do in places where it is a large wall, but it is impractical to have a peice of furniture below the art on the wall? For example, I have a narrow entrance with a large blank wall and would like to hang a peice of art, but a credenza below it would stick out and constantly be bumped into. Who wants to enter a home and bump into a credenza? Not me. But I would like a piece of art.
Great question... If there's no room for a credenza then art is a must! Just place the art using the rule mentioned here (no furniture underneath) in this video: czcams.com/video/8u2_4sI0eZ4/video.html. It's right around the 3:21 timestamp. Thanks for the question! And good luck!

No
@@javedgunny1374 No what?
Let me help you with tiny images.
@@compotetv5 I'm good thanks
Going back to the off-kilter look. Picture off-center in the kitchen. I like it. Also, cool idea with picture being hung on the bookcase. Unexpected.. Love that too.
Glad you like it!
I love putting art in the bathroom, another unexpected place. Love your videos!
Me too!! The video was getting quite long but I love that! Thanks for watching!
Tips for renters too, please. I can't install floating shelves or hang big art that needs wall studs.
Hey Lori... I've got this on my list of topics! Thanks for watching!

You are the best, Olga. Your style, your designs, and the way you clearly explain with lovely examples… they all rock.
Thank you for your lovely comments. :)
Thank you for great content and tips on asymmetry! Also loved your image of the white matte gallery on a dark wall - alluring and powerful.
Thank you! I took a certification program for interior decorating, but this wasn't discussed and quite informative! Makes me want to take down my pictures and start over some. LOL
Glad it was helpful!
Love the gallery approach - particularly when pieces are colorful and frames differ.

Great to find you excellent videos
Beautiful video…
Love what you say and how you say. Sometimes wish I could ponder a picture longer......so many beautiful spaces are shown. Thanks
You are so welcome. Maybe pause the video is something catches your eye? But I will definitely try to linger longer! Thanks for the feedback! :)
Absolutely
Ditto.. Here..
Vow.. She's done
A wonderful job... Hats o
Love your tips & leaning art has a nice effect. But not a good idea to just lean stuff here on the west coast were earth quakes are possible. 😉
Great point! Move to the west coast? LOL... Just kidding. Both sides have great qualities! Thanks for watching.

I have a crazy wall with an asymmetrical ceiling line!
Sometimes it's ok to just ignore that crazy ceiling line! Focus on the artwork instead! :)
I love how easily you explain these concepts!! Thank you so much 🪴🛋️💕
You're so welcome!
I love how you create your research to reach many decorating styles. Great channel and tons of inspiration. Thank you!
Thank you so much!

I'm pretty sure we're on the same page! Art expresses who you are... not just who the artist is! Thanks for watching!
Subscribed just for the kitchen statement alone. Thank you for this great video (my art in the kitchen thanks you too)
Thanks for the sub!
Thanks a million for your ideas!
This is such a nice educational video!!! Thanks so much 🙏🙏🙏
Glad you enjoyed it!
As a man I prefer carvings made from wood as art. Japanese and Chinese culture use them alot
Thank you for this video! Great tips as usual. I'm looking for a design lesson....Spindles! What works with what design style?

Great suggestion! I'll see what I can come up with! But wood is classic... just an FYI. ;) Thanks for watching!
Love your taste and how you explain ideas.

Good ideas! I am going to do a gallery wall.
Go for it!
I have some unframed acrylic pieces and some framed b&w photographs. Can I put these all together? Do I have to frame my artwork?

Can I lay canvas against the wall over my fireplace? I used wall adhesive hangables but they did not hold.
I love leaning artwork on the wall. Even over a fireplace! Go for it!
❤
How can I hang art inside my bookcase
Do we really puddle the drapes? I absolutely hate that.
When do we get to meet Art?
LOL... this made me actually laugh out loud. Thank you.
@@Designchickee You are welcome! Great videos...but I could not resist.
Narrow frames look cheap to me.
Why do you stay today we are taling about styling your home with art. It says that in the title.
