Over the last couple of years, I’ve had several paintings find the perfect homes thanks to Laura Covington Interiors.

This Wilmington, NC, interior design studio has a beautiful eye for styling artwork. So I’m excited to share a couple of their stunning installs at Figure Eight Island, along with three design takeaways for you!

“Laura takes a personal approach to design. She sees beauty in the details and focuses on creating thoughtful, layered and curated interiors that reflect the individual needs of her clients.”

three ways to style small artwork in your home, brought to you by Laura Covington Interiors!

No. 1 — Layered Shelfies

I love how the the Laura Covington team styled two of mini paintings stacked on books in this open air shelving display. Don’t be afraid to mix in family photos and other small, decorative items!

No. 2 — Art for your Kitchen

It’s one of the most well-used spaces in a home, yet often forgotten when it comes to showing off your design taste! Below, you can see one of my mini paintings adding a bit of color to the bottom shelf in this kitchen.

No. 3 — A Pop of Color for your Furniture

Small art is a great way to add a little color to a piece of furniture. Try placing artwork on top of a dresser, console table, desk or night stand. Some art, like my painting on birchwood panel below, stands on its own. While canvas paintings can be propped up on an decorative easel, and paper pieces can be framed with an easel back.
