When I shared 40 ways to change the interior of your home, I had two questions about where to source affordable art. Ironically, Jacob and I have been looking at various online stores to find the perfect wall art for our dining room. We ended up getting our bright ‘Rosato’ painting from The Block Shop and the price included framing!
After our research, I came up with 18 places to buy affordable art. All of these places were used in my initial research. I also share a technique that has helped me discover new artists. I really believe in supporting local artists (if you can afford to). You’re usually guaranteed with a unique artwork and it feels good supporting someone else’s creative pursuits.
1. Urban Road – An Australian-based online store which has an extensive range of unique and lovingly created designs and patterns to blend with your home décor. With beautiful and elegant colour palettes, trendy designs and uplifting imagery, Urban Road’s artworks are easy-to-match with both contemporary and traditional settings, complementing your home with dashes of colour and strokes of artistic sophistication. Collaborates with celebrities like Shayna Blaze to offer a unique selection of art.
2. The Canvas Workshop – One of Australia’s largest online destinations for contemporary, on-trend artworks. Their online gallery offers an extensive range of Australian made printed collections, designed and sourced from a network of local and international artists dedicated to providing beautiful, high quality and affordable printed artworks to the modern art collector. Recently collaborated with Jamie Durie for a selecting of indoor and outdoor artworks.

The prints remind me of Gorman, so if you like the patterns of Gorman clothes, you will like the prints from Hello Polly.

16. Annie Everingham Design Co – I found out about this artist via Peachy Keen Mumma. Love the colours Annie uses and her prints are one of a kind and affordable.
17. Target – I was impressed with the amount of artwork available for purchase from Target store. The only downfall is the artwork isn’t exclusive, but it’s definitely affordable. There are limited pieces available online, but in store there are plenty of art work pieces to consider.

18. Kmart – Again, limited prints available, but it’s budget friendly and you can afford to change the art each season.
If I can’t find anything I fancy from these places, I usually search through the hashtage #wallart on Instagram and this has helped me find artists I wouldn’t have known before.
Where have you gone before to buy wall art?
