“Pictures look different depending on where you hang them,” says Henry Miller, an east London-based art dealer and gallery owner. “Try them in different places.”

He says direct sunlight should be avoided if possible: “Some mediums can take more light than others. Oil paintings are more resilient, but watercolours, drawings and photographs are not.”
