Setting up an art gallery at home is an exciting endeavour that allows individuals to showcase their personal style, passions, and cherished collections in a space uniquely tailored to their tastes. In this comprehensive guide by Pune-based architect Karan Darda, we explore key points and strategies for creating a home gallery that seamlessly integrates individual tastes with the integrity of the artwork and antiques, ensuring a cohesive and engaging environment for both residents and visitors alike.

BLENDING PERSONAL FLAIR

Integrate your individual style by aligning it with the aesthetic of your art and vintage items. Choose modern furniture if you have contemporary artworks to create a cohesive look. Select wall colours, furnishings, and decorations that complement the colours and themes of your collection. Add decorative accents like carpets, cushions, or sculptures that reflect your taste and harmonize with the art.
