The work of Southern artists and vintage instruments that celebrate the rich musical history of Nashville were used to create the attractive gallery wall along the staircase leading up to the second floor of HGTV Urban Oasis 2022.

The massive museum-like gallery wall adds bold personality, color and local flavor to an otherwise large plain wall in the stairwell. “The idea was to introduce color with art, but let the majority of the house be a bit more on the neutral or even the warm and cozy side,” says designer Brian Patrick Flynn.

Over the staircase and gallery wall, a beautiful bank of deck mounted fixed skylights and electric “fresh air” vented skylights provide a dramatic view of the Nashville sky above.

The bank of skylights makes a huge statement in this contemporary home that was built from the ground up. “I think that is going to be one of the most popular things in the house because it looks so architectural, and it’s a game changer because it floods the whole house with light,” says designer Brian Patrick Flynn
