Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, which is partly why art is such a personal thing—much more than shopping for a sofa or bed linens. Of course, it can be tempting to buy art to fill a particular void on a wall or to harmonize with a specific color palette in a room, but we are proponents of buying art that fits your personality and just because you love it and figuring out where to put it afterward. After all, some of the best rooms involve art that, at first glance, might feel entirely out of place. Nate Berkus himself is a fan of breaking the rules and hanging art in unexpected places.
So where do you look for art that inspires you? Galleries can feel intimidating, and big-box stores can carry generic art that is uninspiring—so we like to turn to the internet, which is never short of art startups determined to make the process of buying cool art less intimidating and more transparent. One of our favorite destinations is Saatchi Art, which has a seemingly endless collection of artists from all over the world and sells pieces in all sizes and for all styles and budgets. Don't feel like splurging thousands on a single piece of art? We handpicked some of our favorite Saatchi Art pieces under $500.
