Choose Affordable Fine Art And Prints When Stretching A Budget

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.

For those in doubt, it may help to look at the decor of their previous home. Make a mental note about any art hanging on the walls and the style. Some people like classic artist reprints like Monet, Van Gogh or even Warhol. Others would rather go with famous photographer poster reprints like Robert Mapplethorpe or Herb Ritts.

When choosing a gift for someone else, if their personal taste is uncertain, going with their interests may be a good start. A recipient that has a quirky side and spends a lot of time cooking may appreciate the Soup Can by Andy Warhol. Another person who has culinary skills but with an earthy nature may want something that is original.

In a lot of rooms, having an interesting piece of artwork takes the place of having to decorate. This may seem strange to creative types but for those who just want to add a little life without having to find a place for a lot of trinkets or color coordinate functional pieces, this makes a lot of sense. By picking up a one or two dominant color choices, a person usually cannot go wrong.

If a potential buyer seeks guidance with a purchase in terms of home decor or space planning, there is usually help nearby. Most of the reputable sellers have live assistants who are available during business hours. These people know about color coordination, art history, and many other details that can help consumers make a sound purchase.

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.

When it comes to art, whether it be an original or reprint, cutting too many corners can certainly backfire. Even if a person is a novice when it comes to appreciating good design, something that is poorly copied will not be displayed in any home with taste. This is often the case with sellers that offer extremely low prices. Customer reviews are normally a strong indicator of what prospective buyers can look forward to when making a purchase.
