Your Guide to Choosing the Perfect Art for Your Home with Saatchi Art

By Alison Kenworthy, Founder & CEO of Homeworthy

I’ve always believed that the right piece of art doesn’t just complete a room—it defines it. When I look around our home, I want every element to feel intentional, layered, and personal. It’s not about filling a blank wall; it’s about finding something that resonates, something that tells a story. 

That search led me to Saatchi Art, which I quickly realized is far more than just an online art gallery. It’s a global platform that connects collectors with emerging artists from around the world, offering one-of-a-kind pieces that feel truly special. What stood out to me immediately was how approachable they made the entire experience.

I started by browsing paintings, scrolling through an incredible range of styles, mediums, and artists, and while I found so much to love, I wanted help narrowing it down to something that would feel right in our New York City apartment. That’s where their Art Advisors came in—and the service is completely free.

I shared photos of our apartment, along with notes on our color palette and the overall feeling I wanted to achieve. I’ve always been drawn to the warmth and stillness of the desert, so from there, the Art Advisor curated a selection that felt incredibly tailored—pieces I may not have found on my own, but that instantly felt aligned with my taste.

That’s how I discovered a painting by Suren Nersisyan titled Old Saguaro in Arizona. The moment I saw it, I knew it was the one. There was something about the quiet strength of the composition and the subtle texture that made it feel both grounding and expansive at the same time.

Bringing it into our living room has transformed the space. It has added depth, warmth, and a sense of story that simply wasn’t there before. And that’s the thing about original art—when you choose a piece like this, you’re not just decorating—you’re inviting a narrative into your home.

What I appreciated most about working with Saatchi Art is how seamless they make the process. Whether you want to browse on your own or work with an Art Advisor, it never feels overwhelming. Buying art can feel intimidating, but having that level of guidance makes it feel accessible—and even exciting! 

I’ve since created my own collection on Saatchi Art, curating pieces that I love and would genuinely bring into my home. It’s a way to share inspiration and hopefully make the process feel a little easier for anyone starting their own search.

If you’ve been thinking about investing in original art, I can’t recommend the experience enough. It’s one of the most meaningful ways to shape a home, because when you find the right piece, it doesn’t just sit on your wall. It becomes part of your story.
