Liz's Favorite Accessories for Displaying Art

Liz Lidgett • December 12, 2023

From easels to lighting, here are Liz's favorites for elevating your art collection.

If you’re anything like me, you may be running out of wallspace for some of your art purchases. I love the layered look so I have begun looking to my bookshelves and table tops as the perfect place to display my art. I have a whole storefront on Amazon for some of my favorite ways to display art including the best frame ever for kids art.

And because I can’t help myself, I am sharing the easel with the *perfect* piece of art to put on said easel.

Sleek and adjustable

This Ballard Design table top easelcomes in a variety of sizes and finishes. I own this one and I love that it fits a larger piece and holds it stable. The perfect piece for it is...


When you are looking to decorate a shelf or table with a smaller work, here are 3 different styles I have used and loved.

Modern and edgy

A modern easel that stands 8” tall for $25. I think a bright, punchy piece like this Andrea Ferrignofits the bill beautifully.

Traditional

A more traditional easel that works great with both abstract and more traditional pieces. I love how K arin Olah's piecesflirt with that line of abstract and landscape art with a golden frame.

Metallic and simple

Heading on back to the modern side, I think this acrylic stand fits well with so many different design styles. Most importantly, this stand just fades into the background and lets the art shine.


Lighting

While we are on the topic of displaying art, though, let’s talk art lights I recommend too.

This is a hard-wired art light so you will need your electrician but it adds just the right amount of light to show off your masterpiece.

And this is a battery-operated light with a USB charger is great for when you’re not interested in getting the electrician involved. How easy!


Adding a thoughtful touch to your collection is a quick way to elevate your art and help you enjoy it even more. As the holiday hosting approaches, this is the perfect time to highlight your pieces!
