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.
A lot of people choose discount retailers due to their vast selection, as they may want to create a theme throughout every room or focus on a particular artist. People who like cats may have pictures of furry friends in a variety of poses or situations. However, some may choose a certain style of art that reflects the style of a room.
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.
A good example of this is a room where most of the furniture has straight lines and bold colors throughout. Buying something with soft pastels or small flowers may work better in a kitchen where lighter colors are common. Otherwise, it may help to look for contemporary or cubism works in simple complementary colors.
For some art lovers, having a quality reproduction is the closest they will get to owning work by a particular artist or a movement. Most people who like colors and lines often find themselves drawn to the Art Deco or Cubism movement. Those who like fantasy or the Surreal movement may appreciate the works of Salvador Dali.
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.
It helps to peruse the live or online gallery, along with reading reviews before making a purchase. If the price at one retailer is significantly lower than other competitors, it may not be worth the gamble. If still in doubt art teachers at local colleges may be able to offer some insight when it comes to buying.
