5 Tips to Find Art you Like (Whatever your Budget)!
1. It's totally overwhelming to search the internet for that one perfect piece. So don't! Find a general look that speaks to you. And go from there. As you shop, you'll start to narrow it down.
2. Follow the rabbit hole. Click on all the hashtags on Instagram, the "see more like this" on Pinterest, the "You might like" on retailer's sites.
3. At this point, you might have fallen in love with a variety of pieces but have found that A) they're not for sale or B) they are $768 + tax and shipping. If budget is an issue, don't panic! The process has still yielded a result- you've refined your taste! Now, you can find similar looks for less.
3b. If your budget is tight, sites like Etsy, Society 6, Juniper Print Shop and Minted are your best friends. Now that you have an idea of what you like, you can search specific terms that describe them to find a similar piece on a budget.
4. Sometimes your budget isn't an issue, but availability is. If you find a piece you love that doesn't appear to be available, follow the artist on social sites. He/she may host shows or "art drops" on certain days/times.
5. Lastly (preaching to myself here), stop caring what other people think. Art is subjective. As such, we can literally be the only one who loves a piece. Is less than $10 too little? Is it sophisticated enough? Are printables on Etsy even art? But really, who cares?! The point is, I am drawn to it- maybe just for today or this season or my living room right now. And that's ok!
