Art has the power to bring colour, life, and personality into your home, yet many people feel intimidated by the process of buying or arranging it. Art at Home demystifies the world of collecting and curating, making it accessible to everyone.
In the opening chapter, What Is Art?, Rachel Loos breaks down the differences between prints, limited editions, and original works, including vintage paintings and fine-art photography. Moving on to How to Start a Collection, she shares practical tips on buying art within your means and matching pieces to the mood of a room.
Chapters such as How to Frame Your Art and How to Hang Your Art offer everything you need to know about presenting artworks effectively even in unconventional spaces. The final section, Art Is Not Just Paintings, expands the definition of art to include objects like decorative plates, hats, or natural finds, showing how personal treasures can be displayed with creativity and impact.
Throughout the book, seasoned collectors and art enthusiasts open their doors, offering insights and inspiration drawn from years of combining and curating their collections.
