Turning a House into a Home with Art

Buying a new home is more than a financial decision—it’s the start of a new chapter. At VLS Studios NY, we believe art is the key to making that chapter truly yours. Furniture sets the foundation, but it’s art that brings warmth, personality, and meaning into your space.

Imagine walking into your new living room and being greeted by a bold abstract that immediately makes the room feel alive. Picture a serene painting in the bedroom that turns it into a restful retreat, or a whimsical illustration in the nursery that sparks your child’s imagination. Even simple additions, like a curated gallery wall in the hallway, can transform blank walls into a story of your journey.

Did you know that studies show artwork can actually reduce stress and boost well-being? Research from the University of Westminster found that looking at art for even 30 minutes lowered cortisol (the stress hormone) in participants. That’s why thoughtfully chosen pieces don’t just make your home look beautiful—they help you feel better in it.

There’s also history behind this. For centuries, homeowners used art to display identity, culture, and even social status. From Renaissance frescoes to 20th-century abstract canvases, art has always been a marker of belonging and aspiration. Today, it serves a more personal purpose: telling the story of you and your family, while connecting your daily life to beauty and inspiration.

Art doesn’t have to be overwhelming or expensive. In fact, prints and photography are some of the most budget-friendly ways to start. A recent survey by Statista showed that more than 60% of U.S. homeowners under 45 choose framed prints and photography as their first art purchase—proof that you can begin small and still make a big impact. Over time, your collection can grow with you, moving from affordable pieces to statement works that reflect your evolving tastes and lifestyle.

At VLS Studios NY, we specialize in helping new homeowners bring their spaces to life through carefully curated art. From sourcing statement pieces to designing a full-home art plan, we make the process seamless and personal. Our mission is simple: to turn your house into a home you love coming back to every day.
