Choose Affordable Fine Art And Prints When Stretching A Budget

By Deborah Scott


Decorating a home is seen as one of two things to many people. It is either a chore or an expression of their personality. For those who are somewhere in between, knowing where to start can be a little tricky. The best rule to follow is to start with favorite colors and take it from there. Images that contain various colors and styles can get expensive but there are some affordable fine art and prints that will fit into any budget.

Choosing artwork can be tricky because what a person likes and what looks good in a space may differ. However, there are some instances where the look reflects the personality, so if nothing else, it is an honest representation. For instance, people who are nature lovers may be most moved by the Impressionist movement.

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.

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.

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.

Online reviews are also good for potential buyers to study so they can get an idea of what to expect after placing an order. While these are a fraction of what an original work would sell for, good reprints often cost more than what is found at discount stores. When buying for more than one room, it may help to see what consumers and home decorators or designers have to say.

The great thing about retailers of this kind is that customers usually get a choice of an oil paint reproduction or a print on canvas or paper. While some may opt for the oil, there are some very respectable copies that do not look like they were simply copied by machine. Most sellers indicate whether the work was done by hand or if an artistic innovation had something to do with the price being so low.

There are some people who would rather have a quality work of art than some trinkets as home decor. While there are some images that make a powerful statement upon first sight, the buyer should be aware of the kind of atmosphere they want to create. Whether it is cool, modern, or comical, it should represent the person or brand they believe in.
