Hanging Art Decor by John Derian

Client: Martha Stewart Living

"New York City designer and shopkeeper John Derian is famous for combining antique furniture, vintage textiles, flea-market finds, and his signature découpage pieces into vignettes that exude romance and character. Without a doubt, the man has an amazing way with walls. "People are often intimidated about hanging artwork, especially if they think they don't have 'good' art," he says. "But it's an opportunity to display the things you love, however humble they may be."

In the slides ahead, Derian offers seven ideas from his own homes and stores for accenting any room with a fresh eye and spirited style. From taking a mix-and-match approach—choose a myriad of pieces in different sizes, shapes, mediums, color palettes, and subject matter—to displaying objects that you deem beautiful in unexpected ways (arrange a botanical plate collection, for example, in a diamond, triangle, or circle on a bare wall), there are so many ways to take the art you already own and make something beautiful." (Martha Stewart Living)
