I’ve been thinking a lot about art displays, as I have collected quite a bit of art over the years. I suppose that’s one of the perks of writing an art/design blog, yes?

Regardless, I’m aiming for an entire wall full of framed art in my office like the above wall of paintings, but I so love fun, creative montages as well dispersed throughout any space:

And, of course, artwork that isn’t technically artwork also makes for wicked exciting displays:

Or… photographs galore!:

Plenty of possibilities… ;)

Jason Clay Lewis makes all sorts of interesting objects that I’m sure have some deeper meaning that I can’t see quite right now.  I love the cactus-y cake!

I haven’t decided yet if I’m up for some wallpapering in our home, but if I am, I’ll be tracking down a few of these rolls from Studio Ditte.

Lovely!

Interior and product design firm Belenko! created a luxurious retail space with some white paint and a few black markers. After all, if it ain’t baroque, fake it!

Anne Mercedes makes some of the most brilliant ceramic sculptures I’ve seen in quite awhile. I’d love any of these as a paperweight!
