Affordable Fine Art And Prints Make Nice Housewarming Gifts

By Deborah Scott


When it comes to buying decor for the home or office, things can add up. At the same time, no one wants to look cheap when they are trying to make a good impression on others. The difference between cheap and inexpensive is quality but finding a good thing that is also affordable can be a challenge for those who do not care to shop around. However, an affordable fine art and prints retailer that offers pieces that do not look like a reproduced work can be a nice investment.

A lot of people choose discount retailers due to their vast selection, as they may want to create a theme throughout every room or focus on a particular artist. People who like cats may have pictures of furry friends in a variety of poses or situations. However, some may choose a certain style of art that reflects the style of a room.

Going with a subject that resonates with couples is also a great way to celebrate their new home and relationship. Those who have overcome obstacles to be where they are may want something with a simple message that symbolizes their union. This may be a photograph of a wedding band set or a couple walking along a beach or other tranquil environment.

While amateur art lovers may be impressed by a vast selection of works found online, they should not rush to make a purchase. Art and photographic images have great value but there are only a handful of retailers that do the originals justice. The other who offer insanely low prices usually send something that looks as if it were photocopied at an office supply store.

Another way to decorate is to use monochromatic images with a room painted in a bright color. Window treatments, furniture, and flooring may be in matching or analogous colors but using vivid black and white photographs in poster form can bring a unique look to any space. Add in a few chrome accessories and one can have a look worthy of home decor books.

Sometimes the individual personality is a good indicator of what will be appreciated. For instance, those who appreciate urban culture may like a Basquiat print for the living room or if they are into the arts, a studio space. Giving something that may prove inspirational is probably one gift this type of person will love for a lifetime.

Some of these places are a great source of photography posters. Instead of going with a painting reproduction by a known artist, some photography works are good choices. Not only are these less expensive than some reprint mounted on a canvas but anyone can insert these in a box frame for a modern look.

It helps to peruse the live or online gallery, along with reading reviews before making a purchase. If the price at one retailer is significantly lower than other competitors, it may not be worth the gamble. If still in doubt art teachers at local colleges may be able to offer some insight when it comes to buying.
