While many choose to hang art in conventional places, I love the unexpectedness of a canvas hanging in a unique setting. Whether it's a small still life in a kitchen or a large landscape in a bathroom, decorating with art is the perfect way to inject personality into a space.
While the question of 'should you display art in a bathroom?' is often disputed, Blake Lively's space has convinced me that the answer should always be yes. Featuring a gallery wall of vintage paintings and plenty of wood panelling, the bathroom is surprisingly cozy, proving the power of unrestricted, unexpected design.
