ART-SMART SOLUTIONS
Call attention to special items, such
as a family portrait, artwork, or an
heirloom, with artful lighting.
A picture light hangs directly
over or attaches to the frame of a
painting or photograph to wash
light across the piece.
You can also use mantel lights,
track lights, or spotlights in front of
artwork, sculpture, shelves, or other
three-dimensional decor. Test the
position of any spotlights. Arrange
them to highlight your focal-point
item—not blind unwary visitors.
art displays
Whether your preference is collectible masterpieces
or keepsakes, show them off in their best light.
