Where To Find Large Art Pieces For Your Naked Walls

A well-done gallery wall is something we all aspire to, but sometimes a big statement piece is the way to go. Whether you want to fill a blank space fast, get some bang for your buck, or just want the impact of a wall-spanning piece of decor, large art is a big, bold way to show off your personality. But selecting the right kinds of home interior pieces can feel daunting, especially when the purchase is going to be such a big part of your space. For instance, you could go with prints, canvas art, wall hangings, tapestries, or photographs. Are bright pops of color your speed or is a monochromatic scene preferred? Do you want to be planted in realism or surrounded by the abstract? These are all questions you may ask yourself as you ponder over a large, vacant wall space in your abode. Either way, we implore you to decorate it with a stunning piece of art.

Real and original works by buzzy and notable artists, as we all know, are extremely difficult to snag unless you’re already in the gallery circuit. These pieces also tend to be quite expensive. But maybe you’re not aiming that high right now — maybe you just want to start off with a few art prints or posters. If that’s where your head’s currently at, we’ve got a roundup of retailers where you can find stunning, large wall art ahead at a more friendly price point. We do have to preface that not all of these options will be “cheap” (when it comes to art, what’s considered “affordable” is very subjective) — essentially, art, even if it’s a reprint or a duplication of another famous work, can range anywhere from under $20 to over $2,000. Instead, what we have pulled together are sources where you can find accessible art — these are works that are available to anyone with the click of a button. (No hot-shot collectors here.) Some of these artworks are offered in various sizes and prices. Others even throw in custom framing for an additional fee. At any rate, whether you’re brand new to the art-buying world or simply want some visual inspiration to fill an empty wall space, we think these 12 retailers are easy places to put your critical and discerning eyes to good use.

Etsy

Similar to Society6, Etsy is also a user-generated open platform where creators can launch a webshop and sell works directly to customers.

Just note that many prints come as instant downloads, meaning you may have to take care of the printing yourself. (The upside? You can get exactly the size you want.)
