This month’s Best of Etsy is focused on one of my favorite topics right now… art! I have been sourcing art for our living room for the past few weeks now and I have had SO much fun finding awesome resources all over the web. One of my favorite places to shop for one-of-a-kind art is Etsy. Etsy is a great resource for original and vintage artwork, affordable prints, photographs, paintings and figure drawings. We’ve rounded up some of our favorite pieces for your walls below.
01: watching trees giclee // 02: vintage airedale print // 03: typographic print // 04: still life fern painting // 05: vintage female portrait // 06: black and white geometric print // 07: juicy pair painting // 08: flora giclee print // 09: don quixote original line drawing // 10: white swan minimal print // 11: poppy flowers oil painting // 12: pink and gray abstract art // 13: man with glasses // 14: signed braque lithograph // 15: signed vintage bally print // 16: female nude drawing // 17: giclee abstract print // 18: vintage portrait of a man // 19: Amsterdam photograph // 20: black and white abstract painting // 21: portrait of a girl // 22: orange tea still life painting // 23: charcoal nude sketch // 24: blue and cream abstract print // 25: minimalist abstract art print // 26: Paris photograph // 27: vintage constellation chart // 28: in the suburbs print // 29: antique oil painting of red poppies
When putting together a gallery wall or even just a small collection of artwork, variety is key. It’s best to pair contrasting styles such as a bold, high contrast, abstract piece with a quiet photograph or soft sketch. You also want to think about the color palette- keeping it pretty consistent or within the same family. Aside from finding cohesive pairings and groupings, you should also consider originality. Wouldn’t you rather have something vintage, interesting, or original? Etsy is the perfect place to find affordable artwork that isn’t mass produced. It may take a little digging, but the end result is well worth it!
