Hey fellow design rebels! Guess what I’ve been doing??? Working! I’m currently working on a very exciting project for an extremely cool lady. Isn’t it great when the stars align and the universe delivers you one of the sweetest, most open-minded and enthusiastic new best design buddies in the world? Anywho, I’m very excited to share my work on her project in the coming months.

I’m also working on a secret project in the main bedroom. I can give you few hints: it’s not wallpaper and it’s completely custom. So stay tuned for that!

One of the toughest assignments I give myself as an interior stylist is finding large art that doesn’t suck. If you google “oversized art”, you’ll know my plight. It’s a lot of hotel art and badly pixelized digital prints. And what do you consider large art? I would say anything over 55” on the longer side. Anything huge is simply a matter of luck and a 4AM trip to the flea market. And even then, the likelihood of finding something in pristine condition is low, so be prepared for dings and scrapes.

The other design dilemma is the affordability. If I have over $6K to spend, I’m in business. But often, my budgets are a total of $15K for one room, which includes sofas, chairs, rugs, paint, wallpaper, etc. I can’t spend half the budget on a singular piece of art and leave the rest of the room blank!

So what is a budding interior stylist to do? Well, I get my search engines ready and my filters primed. I’m always on the hunt and here’s what I’ve found lately… my suggestion for you is that if you need large art now, purchase these right away because I have no idea how long they will last.

Otherwise, BOOKMARK THIS PAGE and save it for later… (BTW, while this is not a sponsored post, I may receive a small commission if you purchase from one of the links below!)

SAATCHI ART

Saatchi Art is a wonderful online resource to find original art by live artists. Please keep in mind that all art listed below would also need to be framed or stretched.

CHairish

If you’re a regular MTD blog reader, you will know that I absolutely love Chairish. It always comes through in a pinch and often art will come framed already! Please check out below:

Lumas

Lumas is quickly becoming one of my fave online art retailers. Why? Because they come framed and they’re awesome! I love the print quality and the overall vibrant colors.

Film Art Gallery

Movie posters get a bad wrap in the design world, but honestly I kinda love them. Movie poster art is art, too! If you are interested in getting an oversized piece, look for French 1 Panels. They are 47x63”!!
