Cheap Wall Art To Liven Up Those Walls

You work hard at your job and you pay good money to maintain your mortgage or pay your rent every month. Is there a reason why you have walls that are bare, that do nothing to enhance your living space or your mood? There are so many ways to acquire wonderful cheap art, but there’s really no reason to put off a small, inexpensive shopping spree in the name of brightening up your home and giving it a little personality.

Do what I did: wait until the after-Christmas sales, or other large seasonal sales that the big retailers have to stage periodically in order to clear old inventory. Their loss is your gain, as a nice framed print of the classic piece of artwork can never really be considered “old” in terms of your enjoyment of it. I brought home five gorgeous pieces of cheap wall art, three by Claude Monet and two by Vincent van Gogh, who is my wife’s favorite. What was the price? Five for $59.

Yes they are just prints, but there are also masterpieces and it feels to me as though they give positive inspiration even when our family is just sitting around the dinner table. Better yet, with this one purchase I’ve covered up the really painfully naked walls in our home. I feel like I can make further purchases simply based on cheap art that I find down the road that inspires me, without this sort of planned acquisition spree.

Hey, the bottom line is, when you can spend $4.50 on a cup of coffee, $15-$20 for a nice print you will enjoy for years is just about a negligible expense. Reducing the number of bare walls in your home is the difference between having a “home” in just a place to live. Getting some cheap art for your walls can make the difference. It’s your home, shouldn’t it reveal some of your personality and taste?

You know what’s a great way to catch a guest’s eye? Hang some nude photos on your walls. However, employing an unusual and interesting design for the interior of your grand home decoration could achieve better results without offending or scaring the person (or tempting them to try and sneak out of the house with one of the naked pictures tucked in their coat). Before I even consider going any further into design ideas, allow me to preface my advice with this tidbit: “unusual” is not synonymous with “ugly”, “random”, or “slapdash”. Closing your eyes, wandering around IKEA and buying objects on a hit-and-miss basis that you point at does not a unique design make. Just like any other sort of interior decoration, you’re going to need to put a little forethought into an atypical home layout. Treat your home interior with care when deciding on a theme…after all, it’s you who has to live in it and pay for it.

You don’t even need to think too far into furnishings to achieve a look that is beyond normal. For example, rather than hanging a wall decoration like a photo or painting on the wall, why not get some strong cord or cable and suspend them from the ceiling?. I don’t mean flush against the ceiling…I mean dangling from overhead like swings. Threaten the house cats with bodily harm if they show interest in using said suspensions as beds. Some abstract metal wall art would also be a great way to dress up a room too. Perhaps you could design your home sort of like an art gallery? Use a dark color for the walls and a lever-controlled light fixture, and hang various photos, paintings and sculptures on the wall (or the ceiling). The low lights will provide a relaxing environment in which to view said artwork, and the presence of the shapes on the walls can be visually appealing all on its own.
