5 expert tips on showcasing art in your home

Saloni Doshi has been obsessed with art ever since can remember. It started out with buying a few pieces every now and then, but soon she was spending her entire salary from her corporate job on buying art. “I was living with my parents then and at some point they got fed up of it and I had to start storing them in a warehouse,” says Saloni. It was only a natural progression for her to take her obsession to the next level. It’s been a decade since she launched Space 118, a gorgeous creative getaway in Mumbai where she provides residencies to Indian and international artists. And today she is one of the city’s best known art patrons. When she moved out of her parents’ home into her own apartment in Mumbai, making her collection the focus of the décor was the most important for her. “Just being close to the art practice and the art narrative has helped me understand important things about art and even hanging art. So when it comes to people who are looking at buying art, or don’t have big budgets and are just interested in beautifying their home with art objects there are certain things one must keep in mind. The most important is that art has to be something that conveys your own budget, your own style and your own journey,” she explains.
