At Mon Interiors, we love to bring art into the home. Incorporating a piece you really enjoy is a great starting point when re-designing a space. Art can be a sensational focal point and is a fantastic way to give your home a voice and personality.
Many believe that buying art is out of reach, or for the super-rich only! Art can be expensive, but with an abundance of online galleries suitable for a variety of budgets, there are affordable art options out there. To point you in the right direction, here are our top five ‘go-to’ places to shop for affordable art.
King & McGaw
Kingandmcgaw.com is one of our go-to websites for affordable art prints & posters: a budget-savvy alternative to original art. If, like us, you have a soft spot for the classics, King & McGaw are particularly good – because unless you have a spare few million to splash, prints will just have to do. Amongst a great selection of 20th Century artists sit rare prints from the likes of Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse, Mark Rothko, Alexander Calder and Patrick Heron – a handful of our favourites!
For you fashionistas, be sure to check out their collaboration with Vogue. With over 250 different prints to choose from, the Vogue Archive documents a century of all things fashion, being some of the most sassy prints on the market!
Artfinder
In a variety of mediums ranging from £10 – £50,000, Artfinder.com brings thousands of independent artists from around the world to our finger tips. Whether you are an art lover, or just art-curious, there’s something to suit every budget and all pieces are originals signed by the artist.
