In Houston, the cozy season is short and the heat is the enemy of candles: soy wax softens above about 120°F in a parked car or a sunny window. Store them cool, and save scented evenings for the few months the windows open.
The 16 galleries and art shops, closest first
Before you go
- Check opening hours; many galleries close Monday and open late on the first Friday of the month.
- Ask whether a piece is an original, a limited edition or an open-edition print; the price should follow the answer.
- Measure the wall first and bring the number.
What works
- Buy what you keep walking back to, not what matches the sofa; the sofa changes first.
- A local artist's print beside a museum print is what a gallery wall is for.
- Ask about payment plans; many galleries split a purchase over a few months.
