- Mixing different types of art in a room creates a more comfortable and eclectic look rather than a gallery exhibition feel. 
- Choosing frames based on the artwork rather than matching them to each other or the wall color helps showcase the art better.
- Artwork should be 60 to 75% of the length of the furniture it is above to maintain proportionality and visual appeal.
