Whether you want to add some color to your home or add a touch of drama to an otherwise drab room, wall art is one of the best ways to liven up a room. It has the benefits of being portable (you can pack it with your belongings when you move), interchangeable (much better than tearing off wallpaper), and in pairs (who doesn’t love a good gallery wall?). When it comes to simple decorating ideas, including art is a breeze. The thing that isn’t easy, however, can be tracking down the art you want. For those on schedules that don’t allow constant bouncing around the gallery, finding the best art for your home can sometimes seem next to impossible.
Fortunately, a new crop of new and exciting companies has emerged, dedicated to bringing the best of the creative world to your home. From limited edition prints of some of the most popular contemporary artists to unique creations, these ten sources can help you bring beautiful art into your home in no time.
