Where to Find Affordable Artwork

posted on January 4, 2013 | by Amanda Holstein

When you don’t have the money to spend on original artwork, it can be hard to find affordable pieces that suite your style and won’t break the bank. I never seem to like what I find at the basic home stores, like Bed Bath & Beyond or even Target, and I always feel like I’ve seen every piece before. The clichè “painting” of the forest or that black & white photo of the daisies, it just screams unoriginal and cheap. So stop settling for these pieces just because they’re easily accessible, you know they’re not your style. Try some of my favorite affordable artwork havens below:

Carolyn Cochrane – Etsy

Oh Etsy, always a great source for finding original pieces. But it can be overwhelming. Check out one of my favorite shops, Carolyn Cochrane, below. She’s a stunning photographer and her aesthetic totally fits the style of my home (or what I strive for it to be!). Plus, most of her prints range from an affordable $15 to $55.

20 x 200

An easy to navigate site with an always unique collection of prints, 20×200 is a great go-to for those quirky pieces you need to fill in the gaps and add some personality to your home. The site allows you to search by price range, always an important feature, and is extremely well curated. The pieces I chose below are all $60.

River Luna – Etsy

I stumbled upon this Etsy store recently and immediately added it to my favorites. It’s rare to find a talented yet affordable water colorist who does modern, bohemian inspired pieces. I love River Luna‘s unique style and intricate work! Check out some of my favorite pieces below, all under $40.

World Market

Shockingly, this home decor chain actually has some great little finds if you dig around enough. While it’s no surprise World Market has great textiles and furniture, they have a pretty expansive collection of artwork as well. Some of the pieces may have that same unoriginality that you find in a Target, but there are some unique pieces worthy of hanging in your home as well. Here are some of my favs:

Thank you so much for these suggestions! I currently only have photographs hanging in my apartment because I’ve had such a hard time finding good-looking art that isn’t tacky or ridiculously expensive. I will certainly be checking out each of these sites!

It’s getting easier to find the best websites to download movies online.
Google is your best friend. Enter “download full DVD films” or “online movie download” and you will likely get
millions of results. Most of these are simply not worth
your time, effort and money when it comes down to downloading online movies.

text me web Says

I don’t even understand how I ended up right here, however I assumed this post was once good.
I do not recognize who you are however definitely you are going to a
well-known blogger in case you aren’t already. Cheers! text me web http://treehmcdnemwvzl.mee.nu/?entry=3451592

Aileen Says

First of all, many thanks for the info, and your point of view.
I can value this weblog and specifically this particular blog post.
At this stage, Personally i think I waste far too enough time on the web,
studying rubbish, generally. This was a refreshing change from that experience.
Still, I believe browsing other’s ideas is a very important investment of at any rate a few of my regular allotment
of time in my schedule. It’s like sifting through the junk heap to obtain the treasure.
Or, whatever analogy will work for you. Still,
near the laptop is most likely as bad for you as using tobacco and deep-fried potato chips.

NJMassage Says

Being prejudiced is never really good. After I assert My business is a Massage Therapist, does indeed the fact change exactly
how women and men look at me and my peers? I believe it usually does.
How about in case I point out I work as a NJMassage?
Will that invert your own picture of me and my peers?
Because of each single new-found simple fact
you understand, your opinion may very well transform.
Of course, there does exist under no circumstances pretty much
any “ultimate word” regarding the things people fully understand;
people might never fail to discover even more in regards to someone or perhaps an issue.
Give thought to that. The idea isn’t actually “being unprincipled” in the event that we will shift your perspectives
with the great new information. (As long as you have certainly not heard of a NJMassage
touch, it really is a RESPECTABLE healthcare technique currently offered to Moms-to-be.)

AAU Says

Al-Ahliyya Amman University
AAU Started providing academic services in 1990, Al-Ahliyya Amman University (AAU) was the first private university and pioneer of private education in Jordan. AAU has been accorded institutional and programmatic accreditation. It is a member of the International Association of Universities, Federation of the Universities of the Islamic World, Union of Arab Universities and Association of Arab Private Institutions of Higher Education. AAU always seeks distinction by upgrading learning outcomes through the adoption of methods and strategies that depend on a system of quality control and effective follow-up at all its faculties, departments, centers and administrative units. The overall aim is to become a flagship university not only at the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan level but also at the Arab World level. In this vein, AAU has adopted Information Technology as an essential ingredient in its activities, especially e-learning, and it has incorporated it in its educational processes in all fields of specialization to become the first such university to do so.
