Answer
Using lighting to enhance hanging art involves positioning accent lights like picture lights, track lighting, or adjustable wall washers directed at the artwork. Use warm white bulbs to preserve colors and create inviting ambiance. Avoid glare and reflections by angling lights at about thirty degrees from the vertical wall to uniformly illuminate the piece without hotspots. Dimmer switches offer control for mood and focus. Well-placed lighting turns art from mere decoration into dynamic, vivid focal points that elevate your room’s style and character.
