Salon-style arrangements work best when the art leads. This mix spans photography, drawing, print, and abstraction—curated for variation in medium, scale, and mood. The placement invites curiosity without chaos, offering a layered introduction to the home and to the collector’s eye.

In a room already rich with texture and content, a single oversized piece can create calm and focus. This work, gestural and weighty, brings mood and scale to the space—its presence grounding the color and softness around it without competing for attention.

The grouping reflects a collector’s evolving taste—mixing contemporary and traditional works acquired through galleries, fairs, and auctions. Each piece was selected not just for visual appeal, but for how it extends the collection’s perspective and deepens its voice within the home.

This space reflects a confident mix: minimal furniture, bold lighting, and brick walls where modern abstraction and contemporary photography sit easily side by side. The client wanted the room to feel collected, not staged—where every piece contributes to a sense of rhythm, not repetition.

Books, ephemera, playful works on paper and sculpture give this room an academic ease. Traditional framing and mid-century shelving meet contemporary prints—resulting in a layered space where the client could read, work, and live surrounded by pieces that hold both charm and wit.

A quiet moment that reflects the client’s appreciation for contrast and continuity: a contemporary photograph embracing traditional subject matter, framed classically and set against pastoral wallpaper. Positioned in a transitional space, it offers a visual bridge between the softness of the hallway and the industrial elements of the adjacent kitchen.
