It can hang large above a couch, fill in empty wall space, and act as a conversation piece. We can all agree that art provides the finishing touch to any luxury apartment and can greatly assist when decorating your new home. However, it can be difficult to find quality art without breaking your budget. That’s where we come in—the following list of affordable art destinations will help you get your art collection where you want it to be.

Etsy

Etsy is virtually a household name. The platform is a wonderful place to find budding artists to help you add style to your modern apartment.

Deviant Art

Deviant Art is better known as a talent hub for creators of all sorts, but you can also find prints from many artists available. The prices are affordable and fair, and the styles are surreal and fabulous.

Minted

Minted is a creative haven for dozens of independent artists. Their work starts at prices as low as $20, and their exclusive selection is easier to navigate than Deviant Art or Etsy.

Society 6

Society 6 is a great spot for clothes, screen prints, and more from many great artists. Their incredibly low prices should help you fill up your new apartment quicker than a Bob Ross episode.

Your Local Thrift Store

While you’ll find many run-of-the-mill paintings with no originality, you’ll also find some keepers. Many talented artists donate paintings or simply run out of space to keep work. The best part is that you can customize found paintings with your own home decorating style  additions in a thrifty collaboration effort.

20×200

This Jen Bekman project is a hub for limited edition prints by commissioned artists. You can find small prints for as low as $24.

This unique project is a great addition to a modern apartment. The service creates hand-painted portraits of your favorite books. You can even have your own book collection painted for an additional fee.
