Expert Q&A
![]() | ||
| By Derek B. Groves Interior Design Consultant | ||
Can you help me with some ideas for wall art? I don't have a big budget to go to a gallery, and I don't particularly like nothing but family photos on the wall. What can I do to make the room look sophisticated without spending a fortune?
Don't just hand anything to fill wall space. Invest in a couple pieces of art that speak to you and tell your family's story. Remember that your home's collections are like your wardrobe. They evolve over time.
