3 websites for stylish, affordable wall art for every room in your home

Buying wall art is surprisingly challenging. There are so many options that it’s difficult to know whether you should opt for an abstract or still life painting, canvas or paper, print or original, and so on and so forth. Art galleries can be expensive, and, if you’re on the hunt for a specific type of piece, superstores and retailers might not have exactly what you’re looking for.

Enter: the internet. Many artists have digital storefronts on various websites where they share prints, originals, and even custom-ordered pieces. If you’re looking for something specific, you can easily type it into the search bar and see if any existing pieces match your parameters. Often, you’ll find that artists also run exclusive online deals that are only available on those sites, so you can decorate your space and stick to your budget.

As you begin to adorn your bare walls, check out these websites to find the most stylish and affordable wall art for every room in your home.

Visit Minted

Minted is well known for its expansive selection of photo-printed gifts and holiday cards, but they also have a large, diverse assortment of original art by both well-known and up-and-coming artists. Plus, you can find all different styles, including contemporary, modern, abstract, and pop culture prints. All the wall art is available with or without frames, so you can save some money if you already have a picture frame that would pair well with your new piece.

In addition to its excellent selection of art for every room in your home, the site also sells customizable gifts for friends and family members, so you can put your favorite print or photograph on linens, blankets, and even furniture.

Check out Absolut Art

For contemporary wall art, it doesn’t get much better than Absolut Art.  If the name sounds familiar, it’s probably because Absolut Art is brought to you by the same company that makes Absolut Vodka. This company partners with celebrated artists from around the globe to develop curated collections with pieces ranging from two hundred dollars to two thousand. Curators at Absolut Art have collaborated with highly respected Australian Aboriginal artists, Japanese artist Takashi Murakami, and cartoonist Liana Finck, to name a few.

If you don’t know exactly what you’re looking for, we recommend browsing through the “Artworks” section for inspiration. On this page, you can also limit your search within a certain price range, style, collection, and size. To find a specific artist, theme, or piece, simply type it into the search bar and the site will share related artists and pieces.

Because this is a collection of original artwork, you likely won’t find your favorite reprints, album art, or movie posters here. However, you can invest in independent artists and add a touch of artistic sophistication to your home. Plus, Absolut Art donates proceeds to a variety of charities and programs that support other artists worldwide, as well as those that tackle global issues like hunger, mass incarceration, and climate change.

Consider Art.com

Art.com is practically an online warehouse of all the wall art you can imagine. As the largest collection on this list, you’re bound to find any piece of art you’re looking for, whether it’s a print of van Gogh’s Sunflowers or a photograph of a duckling swimming in water. The site also has a wide range of available frames, so you can customize the color, material, and design.

With so many options, this is the place to search for specific pieces like movie posters, classic book covers, and reprints of famous works. They also have original art as well, like this painting of a bunny doing some quarantine grocery shopping.

Art.com is a place where you can find a variety of high-quality, affordable pieces, and with so many options, you’re bound to find exactly what you’re looking for. Scroll through the website for some inspiration, and be sure to explore all the different categories they have available.

Painting is the easiest way to transform any room in your home. A simple coat of paint is all it takes to make a drab space become a vibrant, bright room that everyone will love hanging out in. However, when it comes to actually getting the painting job done, there are some preparation steps that you need to consider.

Painting requires a bit of prep work, regardless of what condition your walls are in. Walls with holes and dents may take longer to prep than walls that just need a coat of paint. Additionally, you may need to consider sanding, priming, and other prepping methods that'll help your painting project go smoothly and ultimately result in a stunning, finished look.

10 amazing ways to hide a clunky printer in your home office
The best DIY solutions for hiding a large printer in your home office
Modern home office layout

Printers are a functional and sometimes essential part of any home office. But one thing’s for sure — they don’t exactly blend into the background. A clunky printer may ruin your vision of a simple Scandinavian home office or coastal-themed reading room. If you're unsure where to hide a printer in your home office so it's not an eyesore, try these tips. You don't necessarily need a hidden printer cabinet (though that works, too) — just a little ingenuity.
Invest in an armoire or secretary desk
Traditional desks are practical, but they’re not exactly discreet. An armoire desk keeps your desk supplies and miscellaneous gadgets out of view while saving you much-needed space. This white and natural oak-colored armoire has an overall measurement of 67.3 inches in height, 31.5 inches in width, and 20.3 inches in depth. More importantly, the interior cabinet measures 33.1 inches in height, 30.2 inches in width, and 19.7 inches in depth.

If you want a smaller desk, consider a secretary desk like this manufactured wood desk that you can place in any part of the home. It measures 30 inches in height, 31.49 inches in width, and 20.07 inches in depth, while the cabinet interior is 19.55 inches in height, 26.54 inches in width, and 18.98 inches in depth. Note that accurate printer measurements will help determine if it fits inside a specific desk cabinet you’re considering. 
Hide it in a rolling file cabinet
For even greater portability, a rolling file cabinet is an ideal choice. Think about it: You can move the cart with the printer in tow anywhere around the house. If you ever need to make extra space for parties or want to rearrange your workspace on a whim, you’ll find that a wheeled cabinet is a worthy investment. This modern rolling file cabinet comes with a cubby box measuring 15.5 inches long, 12.25 inches wide, and 9.9 inches high. The whole box measures 16.4 inches long, 14.25 inches wide, and 13.8 inches high.
