A buyers guide to art



Finding the perfect piece of art for your home can be a challenge in itself and buying art online can add a level of risk and uncertainty to it.

But it does not have to be difficult. Which is why we are sharing this simple buying guide to help you shop for art online safely, affordably and without it ending in disappointment.

Research, research, research
If you are looking for one-of-a-kind pieces or love some art you have found on a new website, it is important to do plenty of research before handing over your details.

Art is an emotional and personal purchase. Reading in-depth about the techniques used in the piece, the artist and their story can really add depth and personality. Creating a level of intimacy between you and the artist can help you find the perfect artwork for your home. Plus, this will give you plenty of talking points when guests admire your new décor!

Consider your budget
Depending on the techniques used within a piece of work, an artist could have put blood, sweat and tears into it for weeks or even months. And with all this time to account for, art can become pretty pricey.

When shopping for art online it can be all too easy to just add it to your basket. However, it is important to have a serious look at your budget before you begin browsing.

To help stay within budget, see if sales or promotions are available on certain platforms. The Art.com sale often has stunning one-of-a-kind pieces at a fraction of the cost – meaning you will not only get a unique piece, but also a bargain.

Compliment your interior
Of course, there is always the option to redecorate if you find the perfect piece of art online for your collection. But it is often easier to shop for pieces that compliment your current interior set up. Do not be afraid to fall in love with a piece that takes your fancy, but do be aware of your home’s style. If your house is modern, minimalist and contemporary, a classic landscape oil painting might not be the perfect choice.

Think about space
Art comes in all shapes and sizes, making it even more difficult to find the perfect piece to suit your home. Some pieces might be full length and the size of your wall, while others can sit nicely above the fireplace. Think about where you want your new décor to go before you shop, so that you know what measurements you are working with. This will help narrow down your options.

To decide where you will place the art, or what size you need to look for, create a template from newspaper in the position you have in mind. That way, you can get used to it for a few days and make a decision about whether the dimensions or positioning is right for you.

At the end of the day, finding the perfect piece of art for you and your home is a personal journey. It will likely take a bit more than just browsing one store, so make sure to cover all the bases. You never know when you might stumble upon your dream item.
