Top Tips for Buying Artwork Online

February 23, 2018 by Shaznay Logan

The right piece of art can immediately change the look and feel of your home.  Whether you’re on the hunt for a large print to frame in your hallway to make your home feel more welcoming, or you would like to hang a watercolor painting in your living space to complement the colour palette you have chosen, art always has a way of bringing harmony and a dash of fun to any space.

If you’re the kind of person who doesn’t have the time to browse artwork at a fair or auction, you can easily browse art collections online.

Here, we’re sharing some top tips for buying art online.

Consider Your Space

When you’re looking for art online, it’s important that you keep in mind some practical considerations like the size of the piece you are looking at and whether or not it will fit in your home.  Also, think about how you use the space.  If it is an area where you like to sit and read or a space for entertaining guests, then the artwork you choose should reflect the current mood.

Consider Your Décor

Introducing new artwork into your home is one of the easiest ways to stamp some much-needed personality into your living space.  When you’re choosing new artwork, it’s important that you consider how these new pieces will work with your current home décor.  You should bear in mind that the artwork you choose to purchase will likely outlast your current styling, so don’t be afraid to buy something unexpected.  Often, a very contemporary piece of artwork can really shine if you are working with an interior that has a lot of period features.

Artwork is also a great way to add a pop of color to your space without redecorating.  Watercolor art can instantly help to lighten a room or offer a great contrast to existing furniture in the room.  If you’re looking for artwork that can help tie a room together then look at pieces like the art from this range that use key colors from your decorating theme.

Discover Your Style

With such a vast array of choices available, buying art can sometimes seem daunting if you’re still discovering your personal taste.  A great place to start is to gain a better understanding of different mediums and artistic styles.  You will then be able to develop your taste by perusing interiors magazines and searching for pieces that immediately catch your eye.

Following artists and interior stylists on social media channels can help you get a better idea of your own tastes, as well as offering a tonne of inspiration!

Research the Artist

Like with any expensive product, it’s vital that you take the time to do your research when shopping for artwork online.  Before you make any commitments to buying a specific piece, take some time to learn more about the artist whose art you are thinking of buying.  Often, knowing the personal story of an artist brings an intimacy that goes beyond your initial visual interest.
