There are two types of lighting techniques available for your home: ambient lighting or spot lighting. Ambient lighting is most commonly used as it allows the artwork to blend in with the rest of your home. Place room lamps where they will light your artwork making your room feel warm and inviting.
To make your artwork "pop", you may want to consider using spot lights. Spotlights allow you to better control the lighting, and are especially nice for artwork with bright color and contrasts. Many newer homes already have can or track lighting installed. If your home does not, you can purchase light strips (or picture frame lamps) which can be fastened to your picture frame or wall. Be sure to keep your wiring as invisible as possible. It is also important when using spotlights to not create unwanted shadows. You will probably need to spend some time adjusting your light fixtures to get the lighting "just right".
