Invigorate your interiors with these iconic art prints

Our guide to finding the right piece for your interior, no matter what your taste or space.

Words: Anna Galbraith

If you are looking to invigorate your interiors, but the thought of purchasing a piece of art brings you (and your wallet) out in an anxious sweat, then we sympathise. Condescending gallerists, eye-watering price tags, and the suspicion that the ‘hidden themes’ of the piece have been largely invented, all make for an intimidating investment.

Fortunately, you don’t need to break the bank to add a conversation starting piece to your interiors. Digital reproductions might be frowned upon in certain art circles, but they are a great way to incorporate a splash of colour, an abstract painting, or even an old masterwork to your collection — all without breaking the bank.

If you’re looking to choose a print, but feel a little overwhelmed by the choice available, then never fear. We have curated a failsafe guide to purchasing the right piece for your interior, no matter what your taste or space.

Jazz it up with an abstract piece

Officially (according to the experts at the Tate), abstract art is art that does not attempt to represent an accurate depiction of a visual reality — but instead use shapes, colours, forms and gestural marks to achieve its effect.

If you are looking for a piece that really makes you think, whilst bringing a dash of colourful fun to your home, then you can’t got wrong with one of these pieces.
