The Art of Curation: How KH Curates Meaningful Art for Every Space

Art is more than an accessory—it’s the soul of a home. It tells the story of who lives there, what they value, and how they see the world. At KH by Vesta Home, every project begins and ends with that belief: that art completes a space by adding emotion, curiosity, and connection.

“I really love photography because you’re getting the mindset of the artist—what they’re thinking, who they are, their perspective on life,” says Krista Alterman, Creative Director at KH by Vesta. “It’s a perspective that only they have.”

That same philosophy guides how our team curates art for the homes we design. Whether it’s a bold figurative piece, a soft coastal photograph, or an abstract composition layered with texture, we look for work that feels personal—pieces that shift the energy of a room and make it truly lived in.

The Process: Curating with Intention

Every home has its own rhythm, and art helps define it. Our process begins by understanding how clients want to feel in their space—calm, inspired, grounded, or uplifted. From there, art becomes the emotional framework for the design.

We look for works that connect visually and emotionally with the space: soft neutral landscapes that echo natural light, sculptural pieces that balance scale, or vibrant color stories that add confidence and depth.

When layered thoughtfully, art doesn’t compete with the design—it enhances it. A serene dining room with tonal photography invites conversation. A statement portrait in a study becomes a moment of quiet reflection. Even a simple hall vignette gains warmth and dimension through composition and contrast.

Elevating Luxury Through Storytelling

At KH, luxury is defined by meaning, not ornament. We believe in creating homes that evolve with the people who live in them—spaces that hold memories, creativity, and beauty in equal measure.

Curating art is part of that philosophy. Each piece is chosen not just for its aesthetic value, but for the story it tells. It brings movement to a minimalist space, focus to an open floor plan, and humanity to even the most polished interiors.

“Art gives a space its personality,” Krista says. “It adds life to the architecture and makes a home feel complete.”

 

Design That Feels Personal

For our clients, art is often the final layer—the piece that transforms a house into a reflection of who they are. When chosen with intention, it becomes more than visual—it becomes emotional.

Because great design isn’t only about how a home looks—it’s about how it feels.
