Lighting your art: how to display paintings, sculptures, and wall pieces correctly
Most art at home is poorly lit for three fixable reasons: the wrong CRI, the wrong angle, and the wrong beam spread. This guide walks through the 30° rule galleries use to light paintings without glare, how to choose a beam angle for small prints versus statement canvases, how to cross-light a sculpture so it doesn't look flat, and when a picture light beats a track spotlight. Practical, product-backed guidance for South African homes, gallery walls, and collectors.
