Do you want to decorate your side table but you’re not sure what to put on it? Art is the perfect choice! Grab any type of display stand, such as a decorative easel or plate stand, and prop your artwork up on the table for all to see. Whether you add an invigorating touch with scenic and landscape art, a dramatic appeal with dark art, or cosmic energy with space art, jazz up your space with ease. No matter if you’re decorating your bedside table or living room side table, art can be a wonderful addition.


Display an Art Print in Your Window Nook

Window nooks are the perfect space to add beautiful decorations because of the way the sunlight shines through; display your art print here to amplify the beauty! You can set up any type of atmosphere you want – a zen space with ocean art, a lively aesthetic with abstract expressionism prints, or an empowering space with inspirational and motivational art. If you have a bigger nook, you can even transform it into a cozy reading space paired with book art – the possibilities are endless!


Show off Your Acrylic Art on Your Dresser

Your dresser is a great area to display artwork because you can either lean it against the wall or prop it up on a stand. Make art the most eye-catching part of your dresser by displaying it front and center. Acrylic art is a solid choice for your dresser decor because of its striking colors and sleek finish – when the sun streams into your bedroom, it’s your art print’s time to shine! From delightful animal art prints to complex abstract art to meaningful custom art and more, show off your favorite subjects on top of your dresser.


Place Your Favorite Canvas Print on Your Kitchen Counter

If you want art for your kitchen but have limited wall space, use your counters as a display! Whether you’re going for a mid-century modern décor style, a modern farmhouse look, or a minimalist décor aesthetic, accent your kitchen with small art prints on the counter. No matter if you match the colors of your backsplash, add a pop of unexpected hues for a bold appearance, or display art with soft colors for a more subtle look, decorate your kitchen with style.


Lean the Artwork Against the Wall on the Floor

While you may think the floor would be the very last place to ever showcase artwork, it’s actually a great choice to display large wall art! Leaning the artwork against the wall while displayed on the floor can bring attention to unique areas of a space. This works especially well if you have a sitting area or a space with low foot traffic. You can either pair the art with other pieces that are already hanging on the wall, or show off something unique to make the area really pop. From large coastal art to oversized photography to large black and white art, find your favorite style.


Sit Your Art Print on Top of Your Bed Frame

If you want to add some smaller art prints to your bedroom as accents, placing them on top of an upholstered bed frame can be an interesting alternative choice! This works on bed frames that are a bit thicker on the top – place the artwork leaning against the wall. You can show off one art print or display several across the frame. Ranging from pop culture prints to fashion art to fantasy artwork, fill your bedroom with personality.
