Is your home missing a little something? A new study suggests that adding art could be the key to unlocking significant value. According to research by Homes & Gardens, incorporating art into your home can have a substantial impact on its overall worth.

The Art of Value

The study found that strategic placement of art can enhance a home's appeal to potential buyers. By curating a collection that complements the overall style and ambience of your space, you can create a more inviting environment. This, in turn can translate into a higher selling price when you decide to put your property on the market not to mention creating a more desirable space.

  • Insurance: Protect your investment with adequate insurance coverage.   

  • Framing: Choose high-quality frames that complement the artwork and enhance its presentation.
