Georgia Huestis has seen both ends of the art world, from brokering high-value sales at auction houses and galleries in London and New York, to now running the Affordable Art Fair across Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane, where original works start from just $100. 

In this episode of The Edit, Georgia chats to Home Beautiful Editor-in-Chief Elle Lovelock about growing up surrounded by art and fashion, how to actually choose and buy art you'll love, and her simple rule for hanging it well. 

Plus, Georgia takes us inside her Melbourne home; a cream brick house she describes as "not her style... yet", peeling back thick carpet, pulling off wallpaper and raising three young daughters in a house she says the art does all the heavy lifting for.
