Avoid hanging an art piece right next to a mirror. People almost always prefer to look at their own reflection rather than at art, no matter how beautiful it is. The mirror will pull attention away from the art piece. But that said; putting an art piece next to a mirror is still somewhat subjective. Some people do it and it still looks quite pleasant. It all depends on your personal taste, as well as the style of your home décor.

5. Anywhere that’s in the path of direct sunlight

Avoid putting your art anywhere that’s in the direct path of sunlight. The long term effects of sunrays could cause discoloring and fading of your art piece. Put it in an area that’s shaded from direct sunlight, and use creative lighting to bring attention to it. Choose a good quality frame with ultraviolet filtering glass for extra protection against UV light.

There you have it! I hope the above pointers will help you in every little way to prolong the lifespan of your art pieces so that you, your family and friends can enjoy them for the years to come. Enjoy your art!
