Art is a very taste specific, which means you likely need an extensive selection to choose from. Most of us don’t have the budget, or really the know how, to buy original works by well known artists, but you don’t need a Christie’s budget to decorate your home with art. Look to these online retailers for a huge selection of affordable reproduction pieces for your home.
www.art.com
Art.com claims to have the world’s largest selection of art and décor items for the home, and frankly I believe them. A recent search for “blue flower” garners 1,644 results. Art.com is separated into 4 major art styles, including Fine Art, Vintage Art, Decorative Art, and Photography, and can also be sorted by a number of subject matters, making it easier to find what you are looking for. Art.com also offers print qualities suitable for every budget – from standard “poster” type printing for the extremely budget conscious, to canvas printed for those who prefer a bit higher quality. Framing options are available for almost every piece at significant cost savings over average framing stores.
www.barewalls.com
Bare Walls offers a staggering 325,000 art prints for sale in an easy to use, searchable gallery style. You can narrow down that 325,000 to a more manageable browsing number by selecting a specific artist, collection, style or subject. You may further refine your search by using advanced search options like keyword, size and price range as well. Bare Walls also offers framing options, and in addition to standard poster type prints they have collections of tapestries and tin signs as well.
www.allposters.com
While the name may have you thinking this is an outlet for teen idol posters, the collection is anything but that. All Posters also claims to be the worlds largest poster and print store, a while a search for “blue flower” offers up a slightly less impressive 1,384 results, for most of us that’s plenty. They offer the same major categories that art.com does, including Decorative Art, Fine Art, Vintage Art and Photography. Like the other websites, you can browse by artist or subject matter. In addition to standard poster prints All Posters offers tapestries, wall murals and giclee prints (printed with fade resistant archival inks).
www.imagekind.com
Image Kind takes a slightly different approach to the art selling business, offering up a marketplace for independent sellers and buyers to connect with eachother. This means you can purchase prints directly from the artists themselves, or other collectors. What makes this marketplace so unique is it offers start up artists a place to sell their wares and consumers a chance to purchase art pieces from independent producers. Image Kind offers the same browsing options as similar websites and can print your chosen piece onto canvas if posters prints don’t appeal to you.
