Picture lighting is a way to make a favorite piece feel more intentional. Start with the artwork, then consider the room around it.
Look at the whole wall
Think about the frame, nearby furniture and how the artwork is viewed from across the room. A light should feel proportionate to the arrangement.
Try the placement first
Before installing any fixture, check its supplied instructions, wall requirements and clearances. Follow the mounting and charging instructions supplied with your selected product.
Notice reflections
Framed glass can reflect the room around it. Consider where you sit and stand when choosing the fixture position and light angle.
Choose the finish as part of the room
A gold tone can echo warm details, black can connect to a dark frame, and silver can sit with cooler hardware. Choose from the finishes listed on each product page.
Care for the work itself
For valuable or light-sensitive artwork, ask a qualified conservator about appropriate lighting before installation.
